In my Opinion, Mexico is the best country in the world that can offer the best of best in many categories. There you can find a great diversity of flora, fauna and ecosystems. Also The ancient civilizations and their advance understanding of the universe is jaw dropping. Their food is without a doubt one of the most popular and respected culinaries in the world. Their cities, especially the colonial ones, rival many european cities without a doubt. Finally, the people are quite diverse too.

@angelitomelodia He didn't do any harm at all. If fact his ideas and thoughts have been handed down and the people that live in that area near there are mostly Eco friendly . 1,000 times more Eco friendly then the kooks in my old neighborhood in Florida. And as for Mexico lagging in protecting these types of places, Well you obviously have never been there or if you were you didn't leave the cruise ship or resort. That statement has no merit at all...

que bonito lugar

[angelitomelodia]

It's a beautiful place!! I just hope that this English man didn't cause too much harm to the ecology of Las Pozas by adding his whimsical and bizarre structures. Unfortunately Mexico lags behind in implementing laws to protect its environment. These type of art belongs in someone's private garden and not in a place like Las Pozas which is beautiful in its own right and does not need external help to make it more beautiful!!!
