Guerrero’s vibrant cultural traditions are deeply rooted in the symbolic figure of the jaguar—also known locally as the "tigre." This ancient symbol dates back to the Olmec tradition and appears in cave paintings, petroglyphs, codices, mythology, legends, traditional masks, agricultural rituals, and even the coat of arms of the state of Guerrero. The jaguar is associated with earthly forces and with maize, the sacred and essential plant. For this reason, it is said that the people of Guerrero are "people of maize," and Guerrero is the "land of the jaguar-tiger." This gallery presents evidence of the enduring presence of the jaguar in the region’s cultural identity and development.
