Las Pozas

The Surrealist Garden of Edward James is a nonsense paradise in the middle of mexican jungle and nowadays a well-known #must when going to Xilitla.
You can get lost for couple of hours or so, just climbing up & down.

Edward James was a Scottish poet and sculptor. In 1944, James arrives in Mexico with the idea of ​​"putting a Garden of Eden" in that country. Accompanied by Roland McKenzie and Plutarco Gastelum, choose a field on the edge of the Santa Maria River in Xilitla, on top of the Sierra Huasteca northeastern Mexico. He settled there and, with the help of huastecos workers, built a surreal garden.

James received in Xilitla other Surrealist artists such as Leonora Carrington.

This #hidden gem is worth the long bus ride to get to. It  is near the village of Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, a seven-hour drive north of Mexico City or six-hours from San Luis Potosi. Las Pozas is a surrealistic group of structures created by the eccentric Edward James. 80 acres of natural waterfalls pools with James towering surrealistic sculptures in concrete. Go early and will have the place to yourselves, like we did!
