Exploring the Surreal Gardens of Edward James in Xilitla

Hidden deep in the jungle of the Huasteca Potosina, the Pozas of Sir Edward James, also known as Las Pozas, are one of the most unique and surreal places in Mexico. Located just outside the town of Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, this extraordinary site blends tropical forest, natural pools, waterfalls, and towering concrete sculptures into a dreamlike landscape unlike anywhere else.

Created by the British poet and patron of the Surrealist movement Sir Edward James, Las Pozas feels less like a garden and more like stepping into an unfinished dream.
