Huasteca Potosina

Reviewed By Daoda2 - London, United Kingdom

Go with Expediciones huaXteca (Arturo is the best!) for the waterfall jumping and ziplines. A total blast, reasonably safe (the bike zipline and bridge are not for the faint-hearted; would never be allowed in the States). Don't, however, take the tour for Tamul Waterfall. We didn't do it, but from what I was told by other travellers you are in the boat for 2 hours and in the end you are still pretty far from the waterfall. Instead take a tour or drive to Campamento Tamul above the falls. You'll have to get a guide provided by the village, so you don't need a separate guide to get you to the campamento. The last 20 minutes are on a very bad road, so you couldn't do it in a rental car. Then it's a beautiful walk along the river to the falls. From there, there's a path down to the river and you're far closer to the falls than the people in the boats and you have a much better view. Go early in the day to avoid the crowds/heat. The path to the river goes down some steep ladders.

Tamul Waterfalls

Reviewed By F7443PUhollys - Kansas City, United States

The canoe ride to the waterfall took us about 30 minutes. The view was amazing! Butterflies were everywhere! You pass several small waterfalls along the way. There is a place to stop that sells food and drink. Prices were very reasonable, I think bottled water was less than 15 pasos (no price gouging).

Here's another great spot to take a seat, plan your day, people watch, take in the history, the trees are lovely. Enjoy your time in this great city that is fairly unknown to USA tourists. Maybe that's why I love it.

Jardin Escultorico Edward James

The sculpture park Las Pozas, located in Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, was created by Edward James, an eccentric English poet and artist, also a great patron of the Surrealist movement. Nestled in the Huasteca Potosina, Edward James found the perfect setting to create the work of his life. Between natural and artificial pools and waterfalls that prepare the mind to enter into a dreamy world, a surrealistic labyrinth unfolds. Buildings that evoke nonsense, doors that open up to nothing, stairs that lead to the sky, and concrete flowers that grow at the same time as the natural ones. The design of Las Pozas is inspired both in orchids and the greenery of the Huasteca Potosina, it combines ideas and concepts taken from the Surrealist movement in which Edward James was immersed. A Shangri-la, a fusion between organic and artificial things, between the jungle and concrete, thus managing to merge two worlds in just one. The origin of Las Pozas goes back to 1947, when Edward James (who lived in some kind of exile in the United States), purchased a coffee plantation near Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, and registered it in the name of Plutarco Gastelum, his close friend, together they created Las Pozas. During the first years, Edward James kept the Las Pozas as a display of his fabulous orchid collection, and as home for his many exotic pets. In 1962, after an unprecedented frost that destroyed a huge part of Edward James' plantation, he concentrated on constructing the sculptural garden we know today. The sculptural set of Xilitla is located inside a piece of land situated in a place called La Conchita, township of Xilitla, San Luis Potosí. It takes up an area of almost nine hectares. Between 1964 and 1967, the renowned painter, Leonora Carrington, visited the park, leaving an al fresco painted mural in El Castillo, Plutarco Gastelum's house, also Edward James' home during his visits. The image of the painting corresponds to a figure with human feminine traits and a zoomorph head. In 2007, the Fundación Pedro y Elena Hernández, A.C, acquired Las Pozas with the purpose of preserving the sculptures and protecting the flora of its surroundings. The Fundación Pedro y Elena Hernández, A. C., besides being in charge of receiving more than 80 thousand visitors each year, also works on: - The preservation and restoration of the structure - The preservation and restoration of the garden - The preservation and restoration of the areas of woods that belong to the property

Picture yourself being transported to your wildest dream, to a land of creatures of the nature and out of this world scenery. You have to get a guide, you could hire someone at the entrace and they will tell you about the tales, the construction and the story of the creator and his friends. Our guide told us so many people visit, it is deteriorating very quickly. They have talked about closing it permanently to the public so go before its too late!
