Maple forest in Jalisco
I was enjoying the sound of stepping on dry leaves when the guide told us to pay attention to a particular tree; I looked at it curiously and noted that it was very different from any other I have seen. The guide stared at us, then told us that it was a maple tree (national symbol of Canada), the funny thing is that it was a long time before anyone realized that our country has a maple forest.
