On returning to the beach we had one more amazing petroglyph to see. This was discovered by Hugo Alaluf. Researcher and Tourist Guide to Campeche, known as "The Angel of Campeche", in 1996. He is called "Angel" by Keler Lucas, because he collects 2 tons of tourist rubbish every year, without being paid! His reward has been the discovery of this wonderfully carved rock, which is unique.
Below left, A magnificent Mask down by the shoreline of the east coast. This Mask has a line and dots down the right hand side to make it unique. Below to the right another example of a giant panel of Masks and Manikins carved of a massive granite face on the eastern coast
