Seasons 2 and 3 (2004–2005)

Protection of the Acatlán Area

If a visit is planned to Oxtotitlán, you must first visit the Municipal Commissary's office, where a guide will be assigned. The cave is now fenced with locked doors. For the last two years, Sandra Cruz (INAH) has been cleaning the rock paintings in the cave; in the process, she has done a great job with the community which has led to the people of Acatlán, zealous of their cultural patrimony, setting up a joint community committee with INAH, to protect the cultural patrimony of the community's territory.
