Around 5,000 year ago, during the Chalcolithic
Period, the region in which Mérida is located was inhabited by people that
lived in small towns.

These people had crops and livestock, but an
important part of their subsistence still depended on hunting and
the harvesting of fruits. Moreover, religion and beliefs bear an important
role in these societies.

One of the many forms of beliefs representation
was the painting over rocks. Currently, within the region of Mérida, a
relatively high density of these cave paintings has remained.
