Xilitla is the town that is located nearest an unusual concrete wonderland in the rainforest of Mexico in the state of San Luis Potosi. The actual sculpture garden is located just outside of town and is called Las Pozas. It has been referred to as a “surrealist Xanadu” but we found it to be somewhat … More Xilitla and the concrete vision of Edward James
Near the town of Rio Verde in the desert of San Luis Potosi, Mexico there is a strange phenomenon.

After a great time exploring the abandoned mining area and the wonderful pueblo of Mineral de Pozos, we were ready for a change. We left the high desert and headed up into the mountains. The Sierra Alvarez area has some great opportunities for boondocking (off grid camping). No services, no fees, no hassles. We found … More In the cool mountains of Mexico

Narrow streets, tight curves and low hanging tree branches set the tone for a colonial city to unfold before our eyes. The first … More We stumbled upon a music festival!
Mazatlan is probably viewed by most people as a resort town, a tourist destination and a cruise ship stopover. But we managed to experience Mazatlan very differently.

This location was about 8 miles from hotel row, down an obscure dirt … More A different look at Mazatlan (electrifying)
