Cuatro Cienegas, Coahuila - Mexico
Natural Wonder

To cross into its frontiers, only two things were important to the people of this area: its history and the natural and marvelous work of art painted over its territory.

Although the Jesuits built various missions here as far back as the sixteenth century, it was not until 1800, after repeated rejection by the tribes of the region, that town was definitively founded. The name of this illustrious city. Cuatro Cienegas de Carranza, refers to the marshes that were formed by the abundant springs arriving from four key locations and it being the birthplace of Venustiano Carranza, the Leader of the Constitutional Army.

From this, the name Cuatro Cienegas was adopted for the municipality.

What you will see and experience when you visit this very special place is a small gift that I made with my own hands. When you explore the significance of what it holds and see what is within your reach, you will surely appreciate it much more. But most importantly, when you show respect for the elements that give life to both you and this work, I will feel a peace and secure that I can give you more places like this.
