Here are my pictures of El Tule. I reference the full quote below (or in November archives) so I won't retype the whole thing again.
It's actually in a village. The book makes it sound like its off in the middle of nowhere. You go up the narrow village street that's crammed with shops and food stalls and then you pop into this plaza that dead ends the road. It's a gorgeous little park, with lots to see. I'll post more pictures later.
The guidebook says the tree type is ahuehuete, or a type of cypress. The name El Tule, is kind of a joke as el tule is water-reeds in Spanish. Oaxacans have a Python-esque sense of humor.
