The Surrealist Garden of Edward James is a nonsense paradise in the middle of mexican jungle and nowadays a well-known #must when going to Xilitla.
You can get lost for couple of hours or so, just climbing up & down.

Edward James was a Scottish poet and sculptor. In 1944, James arrives in Mexico with the idea of "putting a Garden of Eden" in that country. Accompanied by Roland McKenzie and Plutarco Gastelum, choose a field on the edge of the Santa Maria River in Xilitla, on top of the Sierra Huasteca northeastern Mexico. He settled there and, with the help of huastecos workers, built a surreal garden.

James received in Xilitla other Surrealist artists such as Leonora Carrington.
