REAL DE MINAS DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA LIMPIA CONCEPCION DE GUADALUPE DE LOS ALAMOS DE CATORCE ALTIPLANO
Real de Catorce (or "Villa Real de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción de Guadalupe de los Alamos de los Catorce," to give the town its full title) is located 284km from San Luis Potosí off federal Highway 57. At 2,756m, the air is crisp and the Sierra Madre majestic.
Real de Catorce blends in to the rocky crags of the high canyon in which it sleeps.
You approach by road through the 2.3km-long Ogarrio tunnel, which connects the town with the other side of the Sierra. It's only wide enough for one vehicle at a time, with a passing place in the middle; men stationed at each end control the 'traffic'. Some larger buses cannot get through, so you may have to hop on a minibus at the tunnel entrance. As you enter the tunnel, mine-shafts lead off into the mountain on either side; close to one there is a little shrine where a lone candle seems always to be burning.
Once out the other side, and your eyes adjust to the brilliant light, you feel as if you had just taken a journey back in time: the uneven stony streets are lined with derelict, shuttered, roofless mansions and, further out, crumbling foundations and broken stretches of wall. There are no modern shops, no supermarket, and until the recent shooting of the movie 'The Mexican' (with Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt), the entire town had only one telephone line.

En el pueblo mágico de Real de Catorce, en el estado de San Luis Potosí, lo mágico de este pueblo se esta perdiendo y si sigue así terminara siendo un pueblo mágico solo para los que tengan imaginación o esten bien pasados.
Agradecimientos a San Francisco de Asís.

Lophophora williamsii
El peyote (del náhuatl peyotl, en la nomenclatura científica Lophophora williamsii) es un pequeño cactus sin espinas endémico de la región sudoriental de los Estados Unidos (incluidos los estados de Texas y Nuevo México) y el centro de México.
Contiene numerosos alcaloides, entre ellos la mescalina, que es un poderoso alucinógeno. Todas las especies de Lophophora son de crecimiento extremadamente lento, a menudo tardan más de 30 años en alcanzar la edad de floración (el tamaño de una pelota de golf, sin incluir la raíz). Los especímenes cultivados crecen a mayor velocidad, normalmente tardan entre 6 y 10 años en alcanzar la madurez a partir de plántulas de semillero. Debido a este lento crecimiento y a la sobre recolección a que está sujeto, se le considera en peligro de extinción.
La parte superior del cactus que sobresale del suelo, también llamada corona, consiste en botones en forma de disco que son cortados de la raíz y secados. Estos botones generalmente se mastican o se hierven en agua para elaborar un té psicotrópico. La dosis efectiva de la mescalina es alrededor del 0,3 al 0,5 g (equivalente a 5 g de peyote seco) y la experiencia dura alrededor de 12 horas.
