Many destinations can be described as "surreal," particularly when people have problems with putting what they have seen in words, but then there are sites that really deserves to be in the long term. Like where I was two days ago: Las Pozas in the jungle of nowhere, Mexico.
I'll just get a little taste of this amazing place that marries Dali, Dr. Seuss, and Lewis Carroll, but which still has a unique vision that all their own. The reason is, this wonderland concrete-built by a wealthy British artist for decades before he died in 1987 and is the centerpiece of the story that will appear in the July issue of perceptive travel. [Update- Las Pozas Xilitla story is now posted!]
So enjoy some mad images and then check out the new issue in less than a week for more photos and depth. I'm going to put a little at the end on how to get there, but it takes some commitment. The three nearest towns are sites that hardly any foreign tourists go: San Luis Potosí, Tampico and Querétaro. Then run a few hours to Xilitla. But when you get there-away is less than $ 5, for a site which costs $ 5 million to build.
