* Xilitla, Magical Town
-Located southeast of the Potosina Huasteca, Xilitla is a coffee-growing town that got a tourist boom since the Edward James Garden opened to the public. Surrounded by impressive vegetation, waterfalls and mountains, it is definitely a place that you must visit in the state of San Luis Potosi.

* The Surreal Garden of Edward James
- The English poet Edward James, chose Xilitla to build a Surreal Garden in which he could capture the capricious forms that his imagination showed him through dreams and at the same time living with nature. In its best times, the garden was filled with exotic plants and animals of all kinds, however after the death of Edward James, the garden deteriorated and it was until a foundation saved it from oblivion, which was open to the public so that We can all walk through the dreams of the poet.

* Walk through a dream.
-"Would you dare to walk through someone else's dream?" Well this is what happens in Xilitla, you gradually enter the Surrealist Garden and this dream becomes yours, your senses are exalted with the beauty around you and your logic is confused by the unprecedented shapes you will see, It is something inexplicable that you must live to tell.

* What to eat in Xilitla.
-If you visit the Edward James Garden, eat in the garden restaurant, it has a great seasoning and also the desserts are delicious.

-We also recommend that in the village you look for the restaurant "La Cabañita" that offers some delicious enchiladas, the richest we have tasted in life, and also one of the most abundant and cheap dishes you can try in Xilitla.

* The house of Edward James, the castle
-You can also see The Castle of Edward James, which was his home during the years he visited Xilitla, is an impressive place, which seems to have come from some drawing of Escher.

* The Waterfalls Los Comales
- Another legacy of Sir Edward James, an impressive entrance to the path leading to a beautiful waterfall where you can also swim and rappel. It's one of the things you should not miss when you visit Xilitla.

* The Sunday Huapangueada
-It's a party that faces the main church of the town of Xilitla. All the people of the town meet as visitors to dance Huapangos right in the place where the famous Querreque was born.

That is just a taste of everything you can do in Xilitla, it is a town that has a lot of potential and there is still much to discover in it. #Viajefest recommends it.
