hello , after we left el valle de los fantasmas , we headed to xilitla mean in nahualt "place of snails", and to do this we have to rise all part of the sierra gorda in the state of queretaro near jalpan, and then forest like canada,with fagus, alnus,maple,and liquidambar a color full view,we could not arrive in day light so we prefer to camp outside the city this is what i found there
red dalia coccicea
beutifull orchis pretyy unknow for me guees draculla genus
then headed to xilitla xilitla is above 1000 meters has been a source of inspiration for many artists since it offers breathtaking landscapes with its wild life and luxurius vegetation, mostly jungle and subtropical forest.
an intricate side of the xilitla hill is called las pozas is surrounded by vegetation where a river flow forming waterfalls and puddles along its way, the scottish escultor edward james also a noble, created 36 strucutres classified as surrealistics, and the castle , all made of rock and stone,there are labyrinth, intermingled with nature ,rreflecting the idialistic spirit of the artist
endlees stair cases with name as stair way to heaven
another corridor as the seven dedly sins , simbolized by serpents made of stone, hands to welcome the traveler,.tall and slender column like bamboo rods, structures resembling stems that end in a flowers about to open , long and narrow gothic doorsthat open to the labyrinth of roads paved with stones . enjoy
centipede
musa sp
