Gruta del Espiritu Santo is an archaeological site of great importance. It is important because of its geographical position in Middle America, which allows greater understanding of migration patterns.
The cave walls show Prehistoric drawings about 10,000 years old, depicting human figures, snakes, birds, crabs and the common negative hands. The figures are usually 30cm in height, but some are up to 100cm. The symbols vary from 4cm to 50cm in height. Different galleries within the cave show different style and colour.
