An exploration of some of the main motivations of the hunter-gatherers in the Queretaro semi-desert for making designs on rocks, focuing on the ancient concept of landscape as a sacred environment for life. The study of 57 archaeological sites reveals rock painting as an ancestral practice. It took several different forms of expression, and only takes on its full meaning when observed as a reflection of ancient cosmovision. In Spanish.
