Wirikuta

Wirikuta is a sacred desert region in Mexico, considered the spiritual homeland of the Wixarika (Huichol) people. It holds deep cultural and religious significance, as it is the site of important rituals, ceremonies, and the collection of peyote, a sacred cactus used in their spiritual practices. The area is valued for its natural beauty and as a symbol of indigenous identity and heritage. Recently, Wirikuta has faced threats from mining and land development, prompting efforts to protect it as a protected cultural and natural site for future generations.
