Therefore, it was not "discovered" at a specific point in time, as it has always been part of the natural landscape.
The Sierra Madre del Sur is located in southern Mexico and is home to various indigenous communities, such as the Mixtec, Zapotec, and Chatino peoples. These communities have a long history of living in the region and have developed their own unique cultures and traditions.
