Synopsis

Isabella Tree takes us on a unique journey into the hidden heart of Mexico, travelling among five completely different, very colourful cultures. Taking part in Shamanic rituals in war-torn Chiapas; revelling with the transvestites and matriarchs of Juchitan; awaiting the arrival of the spirits in an ancient graveyard on Lake Patzcuaro for the Night of the Dead; taking the hallucinogenic peyote cactus with the Huichol Indians in the desert and spending Easter with some fervent, self-flagellatingpenitents: this is a unique account of old and new Mexico by one of our finest young travel writers.
