My first time there was about 12 years ago... very beautiful area... biggest boojum trees in Baja seem to be in there... One was about 90 feet high when it crashed. I think Neal Johns measured it?

My web site photos there:

It is important that anyone desiring to see this site do so before an act on Nature or Man takes it from us. The site at Montevideo has been published in Baja guides since the 1960's, so nothing new or sacred being exposed here on Nomad. The directions to the site have even been made by signs posted by the Mexican government.

The side road is 6 miles long and goes right to the face of the cliff with the art. The side road begins 2 miles south of the Bahia de los Angeles highway, on the road to Mission San Borja. 4WD was not needed, but it is a desert road and best traveled in a truck or SUV.

Note the small dashed line road ending in the bottom, center area of the close-up map below. That is the cliff art site... Valley mis-spelled on topo map as Montevido
