La Vida de las Cachinches

La Vida de las Cachinches is a public art project that invites the community to rediscover and care for the waterway that has supported people and wildlife since time immemorial.

Prominent local urban artists from San Miguel have transformed 90 meters of public walkway within the Arroyo Las Cachinches Art District into an open-air gallery, featuring twelve large-scale murals that celebrate the arroyo’s history, ecology, and enduring presence. These murals will invite residents and visitors to experience Las Cachinches as a living thread connecting nature, culture, and community. By making both its history and the life it supports visible and accessible, the walkway becomes a space for learning, reflection, and inspiration—while also encouraging environmental stewardship through meaningful actions such as planting native species for birds and pollinators, and caring for the landscape.

This is just the beginning of the efforts to revitalize the arroyo as a place for people and nature.
