| On the outskirts of Acapulco
is Veladero National Park, home to the Palma Sola Archaeological
Site managed by Mexico's National
Anthropology and History Institute (INAH).
Archaeology and nature buffs will treasure this spot with a spectacular
view of Acapulco Bay. There are more than 18 stones with multiple
carvings. The setting is dry forest ranging from 1,100 to 1,200
feet.
Visitors will spot dozens of designs ranging from anthromorphological
to zoomorphological images created by the first settlers in the
area, the Yopes. Little is known about this civilization though
it is believed they developed this site in the period from 600 BC
to 200 AD. |
