It's just a neat, neat place to visit.

wuicholes previous amount and still use the peyote for ceremonies as something sacred means to them,


Real de Catorce has started in the viceroyalty by the year 1770 and stopped working when silver lost money in the market, all investors began to change their operations in real gold and almost disappeared, after having had up to 16,000 people working There is now served a population of 2000 inhabitants.

Real de Catorce is a mystical place where you walk through wet cobblestone streets passing through the tunnel Ogarrio feel that you move to the past where everything was calm and old, feel the fresh air and the smell of vegetation such as oregano, quality people you trust, where you are greeted with a smile and a good morning, we explored all around Real de Catorce finding worthy of translating beautiful places in our minds and still cameras,

We climbed over 3000 meters. asl and found out small populations living on what they sow and sell in real fourteen ...
