Oxtotitlán Caves

7km/4.3mi north of Chilapa lies the village of Acatlán near to where the Oxtotitlán Caves were discovered as recently as 1968. The two 30 m (98 ft) -deep stalactitic caves, reached after about 45 minutes up-hill walking, contain paintings which have been dated to between 900 and 700 bc. The motifs suggest Olmec origin. Pictures include a male figure seated on a jaguar throne, stylised jaguar heads and children's faces.
