Las Pozas

Also known as the House of the Englishman, it was built by a Edward James. He was a contemporary of Dali, and employed 40 artisans for years building these fantastic concrete structures in the jungle. Its just outside Xilitla, and well worth the trip. It seems that the only gringo tourists that know about it are cavers and hippies. Since his death, the place hasn't really been kept up, so some of the buildings are deteriorating. But, this being Mexico, if you want to risk your stupid gringo neck trying to climb a wobbily concrete pillar, go right ahead.
