坐落在亚热带气候的瓦哈卡州特拉科卢拉山谷中，此一遗产由两处西班牙统治前的考古遗址，以及一系列史前洞穴和人类居住的岩石庇护所组成。在一些庇护所中发现的考古证据与岩刻艺术，见证了史前人类从游牧式的打猎采集者向定居农业人口的转变进程。在吉拉纳蒂兹洞穴中发现的一万年前的葫芦种子，被认为是美洲大陆上最早进行植物栽培的证据，而同一洞穴发现的玉米穗残粒则被看作是最早的人工栽培玉米的证据。亚古尔与米特拉洞穴的文化景观展现了人与自然之间的纽带，这一纽带不仅导致了北美洲人工种植的产生，并且推动了中美洲文明的发展。

This property lies on the northern slopes of the Tlacolula valley in subtropical central Oaxaca and consists of two pre-Hispanic archaeological complexes and a series of pre-historic caves and rock shelters. Some of these shelters provide archaeological and rock-art evidence for the progress of nomadic hunter-gathers to incipient farmers. Ten thousand-year-old Cucurbitaceae seeds in one cave, Guilá Naquitz, are considered to be the earliest known evidence of domesticated plants in the continent, while corn cob fragments from the same cave are said to be the earliest documented evidence for the domestication of maize. The cultural landscape of the Prehistoric Caves of Yagul and Mitla demonstrates the link between man and nature that gave origin to the domestication of plants in North America, thus allowing the rise of Mesoamerican civilizations.
