    Mexico is so amazing! I remember as a child visiting my grand parents driving behind in the bed of an OLD pick just like that. Viva Mexico, Jerez, Zacatecas!

    Once again, amazing video. There’s not very many like this I can find. You should have so much more followers. I want you to make money so you can make more trips, and work with people to conserve endangered species. I try to talk to everyone I know about cacti/succulents and I just bore them and they think I’m a weirdo. But whatever! Did a wonderful job putting this together! Mad respect and ❤️

    More people really need to check these videos out. Outstanding one! This remote area of Mexico is so beautiful with it's totally spectacular rock formations and plants. As Jeremey Spath has pointed out, some areas of Mexico that would be national parks in the US are open land or some one's ranch property. So many undiscovered plants are out there in Mexico. Keep exploring for us Manuel.

    • @RareCactus
      @RareCactus  Před rokem

      Thanks for coming along! I think it’s best these areas are wild or private in Mexico because unfortunately the last Lophophora locality in the United States inside a national park was extirpated (from a national park). So it seems the only thing that can save these beauties is lack of access. 😅
