Finding the most elusive cactus in habitat: Aztekium valdezii
Join us on a wild adventure searching for the most difficult cactus to see in habitat in all of Mexico! Aztekium valdezii has an extremely limited range in a dangerous area of Nuevo León, but we’re taking on the challenge to find it! This will turn out to be our most challenging expedition yet.

So nice of you, thanks a lot for watching and joining our adventures 🌵 I think the more people fall in love with them, the less likely they’ll be to remove them from the desert 💚
Thanks for commenting on my video because it led me to yours. Your excitement is palpable and thanks for sharing this amazing moment.

Mexico is so amazing! I remember as a child visiting my grand parents driving behind in the bed of an OLD pick just like that. Viva Mexico, Jerez, Zacatecas!

What an incredible, amazing, difficult journey to find this beautiful plant. ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your expedition. You are totally badass. 🌵 I enjoy your excitement and enthusiasm.
Awesome video Manuel and what a trip. To see these plants in habitat must be all inspiring. It inspires me to buy more cacti and expand my collection. Greetings from Thailand.

Once again, amazing video. There’s not very many like this I can find. You should have so much more followers. I want you to make money so you can make more trips, and work with people to conserve endangered species. I try to talk to everyone I know about cacti/succulents and I just bore them and they think I’m a weirdo. But whatever! Did a wonderful job putting this together! Mad respect and ❤️

More people really need to check these videos out. Outstanding one! This remote area of Mexico is so beautiful with it's totally spectacular rock formations and plants. As Jeremey Spath has pointed out, some areas of Mexico that would be national parks in the US are open land or some one's ranch property. So many undiscovered plants are out there in Mexico. Keep exploring for us Manuel.

Thanks for coming along! I think it’s best these areas are wild or private in Mexico because unfortunately the last Lophophora locality in the United States inside a national park was extirpated (from a national park). So it seems the only thing that can save these beauties is lack of access. 😅
It is really worth watching! Thanks for sharing! And your full of emotions video makes us feel life! Thanks again!
