That looks like it would be an awsome place to visit. It seems much more lush than I would have expected. Maybe these pictures were taken after they rainy season? Thanks for posting the link.

I love how it looks so much like California chaparral but with columnar cacti and clusters of bromeliads...and forests of Jubaeas!

From what I gather, La Campana is basically the same climate as Southern California, and in my humble opinion, the botanical features put California's to shame.
