Árbol del Tule & Santa María del Tule.

Tule Tree at Santa María del Tule Oaxaca
"Arbol del Tule" 42 meters wide.

Tule Tree is at the atrium of Santa Maria´s Church.
 Near Oaxaca city, at Santa María del Tule you will find one of the biggest trees in the world, know as "Arbol del Tule", it has 42 meters wide, 40 meters high. It is more than 2000 years old, so it is a true witness of mexican history.

Once, a rich man tried to buy it from the people of Santa Maria so he could cut it down and sell the wood, fortunately they didn't accept and the tree is still with us.
