  • A meadow with flowers at the top of the mountain next to the pyramid. Everywhere one looked there was a kaleidoscope of flora.
  • Overlooking Tepoztlan. The air is thin at this altitude making it difficult to breathe. Let's see 1700 meters plus 2500 meters...gasp!
  • A couple of the locals & keepers of the hill.
  • Prehispanic hieroglyphics on the pyramid dedicated to a Agave species which produces an alkaloid rich drink "aqua miel" which later self ferments into "pulque" an alcoholic beverage (the fermentation destroys the alkaloids so drinking it straight from the plant is important for an eye opening experience... so I'm told ;)
