El Árbol del Tule in Santa María del Tule in the Mexican state of Oaxaca,
Beautiful places to travel to game : 100
El Árbol del Tule (Spanish for The Tree of Tule) is a tree located in the church grounds in the town center of Santa María del Tule in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, approximately 9 km (6 mi) east of the city of Oaxaca on the road to Mitla. It is a Montezuma cypress (Taxodium mucronatum), or ahuehuete (meaning old man of the water in Nahuatl). It has the stoutest trunk of any tree in the world. In 2001 it was placDimensions and age[edit]
In 2005, its trunk had a circumference of 42.0 m (137.8 ft), equating to a diameter of 14.05 m (46.1 ft),[2] a slight increase from a measurement of 11.42 m (37.5 ft) m in 1982.[3] However, the trunk is heavily buttressed, giving a higher diameter reading than the true cross-sectional of the trunk represents; when this is taken into account, the diameter of the 'smoothed out' trunk is 9.38 m (30.8 ft).[2] This is still slightly larger than the next most stout tree known, a Giant Sequoia with a 8.98 m (29.5 ft) diameter.[4]
The height is difficult to measure due to the very broad crown; the 2005 measurement, made by laser, is 35.4 m (116 ft),[2] shorter than previous measurements of 41–43 m (135–141 ft).[3] According to the signboard by the tree (see gallery, below), it has a total volume of 816.829 m3 and a weight of 636.107 t (701.188 short tons); these figures are however not independently verified, and given the same signboard's claim of a girth of 58 m (190 ft), must be treated with suspicion.
It is so large that it was originally thought to be multiple trees, but DNA tests have proven that it is only one tree.[5] This does not rule out another hypothesis, which states that it comprises multiple trunks from a single individual.[6]
The age is unknown, with estimates ranging between 1,200 and 3,000 years, and even one claim of 6,000 years;[6][7] the best scientific estimate based on growth rates is 1,433-1,600 years.[8] Local Zapotec legend holds that it was planted about 1,400 years ago by Pecocha, a priest of Ehecatl, the Aztec wind god, in broad agreement with the scientific estimate; its location on a sacred site (later taken over by the Roman Catholic Church) would also support this.[6][7]
The tree is occasionally nicknamed the Tree of Life from the images of animals that are reputedly visible in the tree's gnarled trunk. As part of an official project local schoolchildren give tourists a tour of the tree and point out shapes of creatures on the trunk, including jaguars and elephants.[citation needed]
Slowly dying[edit]
In 1990, it was reported that the tree is slowly dying because its roots have been damaged by water ed on a UNESCO tentative list of World Heritage Sites.[1]

Tule Tree | The Worlds Widest Tree | Santa Maria del Tule | Oaxaca | English | Subtitles | Mexico
In this video I am visiting the town of Santa Maria del Tule, to see the widest tree in the world - the Tue Tree. This is a great additional to any trips to Mexico you may have planned.
This tree is amazing. Before seeing the tree I decided to explore the town, which was super pretty and well maintained. You can tell this is a tourist place.
If you are looking for a unique place to visit during your Mexico holiday, why not check out one of the biggest trees in the world. It may not be the tallest tree in the world, but it is one of the oldest, and the widest tree in the world.
Who would have thought one of the largest trees was found in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Please note, this video is in English, not Spanish but I do have subtitles. There are English Subtitles, French Subtitles and Spanish Subtitles.

36 Hours in Oaxaca, Mexico
The state of Oaxaca is one of the most diverse and beautiful in Mexico. It would take a lifetime to fully absorb such a place...so naturally, we decided to try and cram all of it into 36 hours. The capital city sits in the Sierra Madre mountains, at the foot of Cerro del Fortín, and features some of the country's most beautiful colonial architecture and richest indigenous culture.
We managed to stroll along the Zócalo, the city's central plaza, take in the markets and art, throw back a few shots of mezcal, and still make it out of the city for the gorgeous Hierve el Agua rock formations and to visit Santa María del Tule, a small town that's home to one of the oldest trees in the world. Was it enough? Well, no, not even close. But it wasn't too shabby an effort for 36 hours.

Coming Back Home
I´m sharing my most recent audio-slide show about The Day of the Dead tradition en Oaxaca, Mexico. This celebration mixes ancient Pre-Hispanic traditions with the European tradition of the Catholic All Souls Day.
Every year Oaxacans decorate their cemeteries with flowers and candles. They create beautiful altars filled with food and drink, for their loved ones who have passed who return home on this special day for a visit.
I interviewed Jose Hernandez Alaves, a candle maker in the town of Teotitlan del Valle. The music bands are ¨Los Reformistas¨ from Teotitlan del Valle and ¨Oro de Oaxaca¨ from
San Jeronimo Tlacochahuaya. The last song was recorded from a band playing a funeral song during an actual funeral process that I witnessed at the cemetery in Santa Ana Zegache.
This audiovisual also includes the following places: Mitla, San Martin Tilcajete, San Sebastian Abasolo, Santa Maria del Tule and Oaxaca de Juarez.

We are on our way to Oaxaca with Minimal Millennials!! Trinity is running great and the gang is in high spirits. Our first stop is historic settlement of Monte Albán, just eight kilometers west of Oaxaca, which covers an area of some 40 square kilometers and for 2,500 years was an important place of worship. The center of the ruins, rising on a man-made platform 400 meters above the Oaxaca Valley, is possibly Latin America's oldest and most impressive Pre-Columbian site. Then, a short drive east of Oaxaca is the small village of Santa María del Tule, famous for the ancient Tree of Tule (Arbol del Tule). This massive cypress tree, 40 meters wide and 42 meters tall, stands in front of a charming little church and is estimated to be 2,000 years old.

Meksyk 13 - KANION SUMIDERO
Tuxtla Gutierez to stolica i największe miasto meksykańskiego stanu Chiapas. Jest mniej więcej wielkości naszego Wrocławia. W samym mieście nie ma nic specjalnego do oglądania - jednakże stanowi ono punkt wypadowy na kolejny przepiękny cud natury Meksyku - Kanion Sumidero. kanion można oglądać od dołu i od góry. Od dołu tylko w zasadzie w zorganizowanych grupach - na szybkich łodziach. Od góry - z dwóch punktów widokowych, do których można jednakże dotrzeć tylko wynajętym samochodem.
Cena za 2-godzinną wycieczkę łodzią motorową - ok. 50 zł/os - w zależności od firmy oferujących przejażdżkę , których jest tam kilka.
Jedna również uwaga - podczas przejażdżki błędnie przetłumaczyłem, że na jednej ze skał kanionu widać pająka. W rzeczywistości chodziło o widoczne tam czepiaki - rodzaj małp szerokonosych. Błąd wynikał z faktu, iż w języku hiszpańskim czepiak to dosłownie małpa pająk (mono arańa). Wyraz mono umknął mi jakoś...:)

OUR FIRST TRIP TO OAXACA SUMMER OF 2017
Fattest Tree in the World
Allegedly the largest tree in the world based on circumference. Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico. Thanks to the tree, the entire town prospers and has a fine public garden and new roads. Moral of the story: Don't cut down all your trees!
