Jardín Escultórico de Edward James
Discover San Luis Potosí: the gateway to surrealism, jungle, and wonder.
San Luis Potosí is not just visited—it’s felt. Here, in the heart of the Huasteca Potosina, art and nature embrace like old friends. In Xilitla, one of its Pueblos Mágicos, lies a place that seems pulled straight from a dream: the Edward James Surrealist Garden, also known as Las Pozas, declared a National Artistic Monument. It is Mexico’s most surreal corner, where the sculptures don’t just inhabit the landscape—they interpret it.
This garden was no accident. It was passionately sculpted by Edward James, an eccentric British poet and lover of surrealism, who chose this living jungle to create his dreamlike universe. Here, there are no rules: staircases rise to the sky, doors lead nowhere, and concrete flowers grow alongside real ones, amid crystal-clear pools and waterfalls that seem to whisper secrets.
Walking through Las Pozas is to forget logic and surrender to wonder. San Luis Potosí invites you to see with new eyes, to pause, to breathe differently. And this is just the beginning of your journey. Get ready to explore a state where every corner holds a story, a flavor, a rhythm… and a reason to return.
