al interior de un pequeño valle intermontano irrigado por la aguas del río Victoria. Los soportes con pintura rupestre que lo integran se distribuyen entre las milenarias formaciones rocosas de dos pequeñas elevaciones naturales separadas por el cauce de un arroyo temporal del cual toma su nombre.De acuerdo a la tradición oral local, estas elevaciones reciben distintas denominaciones: el cerro situado al oriente es conocido como "La Zorra" y el ubicado al occidente como "La Pintada o La Tortuga". Un rasgo significativo de este sitio es la disposición de los paneles pintados, que en La Zorra se distribuyen en las laderas norte y oeste, orientados hacia la puesta del sol, mientras que los de La Pintada o La Tortuga se plasmaron en la ladera occidental del cerro, mirando hacia la salida del sol.

site is geographically located in the semi-desert portion of the Sierra Gorda of Guanajuato, inside a small intermountain valley irrigated by the waters of the Victoria River. The rock paintings that are integrated within the site are distributed among the ancient rock formations of two small natural elevations separated by the channel of a temporary stream from which the site takes its name. According to local oral tradition, these elevations have two different names: the hill located to the east is known as "La Zorra" (The Fox) and the one located to the west as "La Pintada or La Tortuga" (The Painted Hill or The Turtle). A significant feature of this site is the arrangement of the painted panels, which in La Zorra are distributed on the north and west slopes, oriented towards the sunset, while those of La Pintada or La Tortuga are commonly on the western slope of the hill, facing the sunrise.Caption: Location of rock art
