Located in the community of La Pintada, where its name originates, it is located on a large rock that emerges from a hill. Local history and legends say that the Indians camped around the Painted Stone to celebrate religious rites and that it hides a treasure guarded by an Indian who is their guardian.



To the right of La Pintada Jet is located ´´La Piedra del Sapo´´, named for the toad-shaped frog or frog. There are other places in El Valle where we can find other glyphs, such as El Potosí.
