Mulegé area rock art guide and San Ignacio, too. Recommendation please.
Hi Nomads,
Can anybody give me contact info for a guide to get us in to either the Trinidad or San Borjitas cave art sites.
Also, in San Ignacio to see art near San Francisco de la Sierra.
Thank you.
Helping a friend.

Kuyima in San Ignacio.

the rock art trips are usually small groups, so you can request almost any custom itinerary you want

Thank you goat!
I have talked with Trudi on the phone and emailed with her in the past. I sent her an email today.
In case she can't help, please post more ideas for guides at both areas. I am possibly leaving Sunday for another TV location shoot that just came up
and they want to see some big sites, not just a little Viking ship, lol!

Trudi emailed me last night and I got more than one referral for Salvador in Mulegé.
I think we are good... Thank you! If you see some pre-runner type trucks south of the border (Raptors mostly) next week, I may be in one. Photos
forthcoming.

For San Francisco de Sierra great murals (that's what you're talking about?), you need to register and get a permit at INAH office in San Ignacio.
They will assign you a guide.

Yes, Cindi that was one area and Trudi said she has that covered for us (if not, then I know to go into the office next to the missions). Thank you!
Mulegé area was the other... San Borjitas and Trinidad sites. Salvador seems to be the popular choice there.
It's not for me personally and I am not sure if I will even be going... I am just trying to help Cameron by making the Baja connections for him.

I toured with Salvador a few years back. Nice guy, brings lunch, we even got to see a hawk catch a snake on the way back.

Other activities:
Besides the cave paintings, Mulegé has a church that dates back to 1668 (Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé) and a very interesting tour through an
ex-prison that would let inmates out during the day, for them to work and take care of their families.

Thank you Baja Mama for the Salvador confirming.
Just to help you with the hstory, the mission at Mulegé was founded in 1705, as the third California mission. There was no Jesuit activity in
California until 1683 (at La Paz and San Bruno, near Loreto) and that project failed in 2 years. The first successful mission was at Loreto in 1697. I
think you will enjoy reading about the missions, in my book: www.oldmissions.com or sold on Amazon. I also have the mission details posted on my Baja Missions web pages, they begin here: www.vivabaja.com/bajamissions

David - They can go directly to Rancho Las Tinajas and have the wife or husband guide them (Spanish only). I spoke to Salvador and he seems like a
good guy but I preferred to just go direct.

NP. FYI of the two Mulege sites, San Borjitas has the most elaborate cave paintings. Both have beautiful canyon hikes but San Borjitas is a stunner.
I didn't post a report but we have some Trinidad photos on our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pg/AwayWeWinnebago/photos/?tab=albu...

Ha ha - just saw the part at the bottom of my post regarding the mission - it was a copy and paste - you are the man regarding mission knowledge! And
yes, I do own your book (fabulous resource).

Graffiti should not be celebrated! (just kidding, don't hate me!)
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

David, if you still need a guide for Sierra de San Francisco, let me know. We've done two trips with Chico into the canyon and highly recommend him.
I can give you his contact info if you need it. I think we're going again this spring.
