One of the few night scenes, this mountain was seen while on an over-night bus from Tehuacan to Huautla, in Northern Oaxaca State. Huautla is the home of the "mushroom healers", made famous by the legendary curandera, Maria Sabina, who guided Jimi Hendricks and the Beatles on Psylicibin Mushroom experiences during the Sixties. Now deceased, Maria Sabina is remembered by tourists who arrive by bus to tour her house.
