Huichol

The Huichol are descendants of the Aztecs. They live in the mountainous region of north-central Mexico. Together with them, we embark on a journey into the ‘Hunting Grounds of the Peyote.’ The peyote cactus allows the Huichol access to the world of spirits and a perspective on their position in the universe.
