I believe that the Zapata Chamber of Commerce, while perhaps understandably reluctant to fund hang gliding, might consider shifting the focus of its local development efforts towards pharmacological tourism. Imagine the bounty to be reaped from well-healed continental tourists bringing sacks of Euros to expand their consciousness in idyllic Zapata. Its culinary attractions and sleek women too would render their visit a complete and fulfilling experience.

Now, the Mexican government and the Indian community that uses peyote in sacred ceremonies are warning that peyote is under threat.

Peyote is the attraction for many of the foreigners who flock to Real de Catorce, a former silver-mining town high in the mountains in the state of San Luis Potosi in northern Mexico. In the central square, rings, necklaces, broaches and bracelets for sale at a jewelry market seem to feature one central design: the peyote cactus.
