    Allow me to introduce, Huasteca Potosina.<\/span><\/h2>\n

    “La Huasteca” as it is known in Mexico, is a geographical and cultural area located along the Gulf of Mexico, starting at the State of Monterrey and ending in Veracruz. It is the region in which the indigenous Huastec people lived when their ancient civilization was at its peak.<\/p>\n

    To this day the Huastec people still celebrate their cultural traditions passed down from their ancestors. This includes their unique style of song and dance, along with religious festivals such as Xantolo aka “Day of the Dead”.<\/p>\n

    Below I have listed my 3 favorite destinations in Huasteca Potosina, they may not be as popular as your typical Mexican beach town, but trust me, they are wonderful.<\/p>\n

    The Surrealist Garden of Edward James <\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Also known as “Las Pozas”. It’s creator Edward James was born in 1907. James was a British poet known for his patronage of the surrealist<\/a> art movement. Las Pozas garden includes more than 80 acres of natural waterfalls and lush jungle interlaced with towering Surrealist concrete sculptures. The goal was to create the Garden of Eden and James spent more than $5 million on its construction. To fund his creation, he sold his Surrealist art collection at an auction.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Tamul Waterfall<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      This waterfall is the highest in the State of San Luis Potosi towering 344 ft above the Tampa\u00f3n River. The Gallinas river plunges into the Santa Maria river forming the Tampa\u00f3n river. As you paddle up, seeing the intense colors and hearing the noise this water creates is truly a remarkable experience.<\/p>\n
