The tule tree in Oaxaca is quite impressive. I had my doubts about going to visit it, but I'm glad I saw this colossal tree that is over 2000 years old and has a trunk diameter of 15 m! When I asked what the entry fee of 10 pesos was for, they said it was to contribute towards the 14 kilos of water they need to feed it each day! Here's a tree-selfie, some of the people on the left can give you an idea of the size of the tree.
I would expect such a huge tree to be in the jungle, but less than 10 meters away, its neighbour is none other than this pretty church (the leaves on the top left corner of the picture belong to the tule tree).
