Hola Fernando,
how about this?:

Plot3D[-3 Sin[x y^2], {x, -1, 1}, {y, -2, 2},
    Ticks -> {Automatic, Automatic,
        Table[{ti, -ti}, {ti, Floor[#2], Floor[#1], -2}]&},
    ViewPoint -> {1.300, -2.400, -2.000}]

I put the minus so my function is "growing downwards", changed the
Viewpoint (just -2.000 instead of the default 2.000 for the z
coordenate) so one looks from below, and finally used a homemade "tick
mark function" (see Mathematica Book p. 494) to invert the sign of the
z-axis.
