About Juxtlahuaca

Juxtlahuaca (Spanish pronunciation: [xuʃtlaˈwaka]), or Xiuxtlahuaca (Nahuatl pronunciation: [ʃjuʃtɬaˈwaka]), is a cave and archaeological site in the Mexican state of Guerrero containing murals linked to the Olmec motifs and iconography. Along with the nearby Oxtotitlán cave, Juxtlahuaca walls contain the earliest sophisticated painted art known in Mesoamerica, and only known example of non-Maya deep cave art in Mesoamerica.
