Ernesto has traveled to the Baja California Peninsula over 15 times.  As a photographer, this is one of his favorite lectures because he’s amassed a visually enticing collection of photographs from one of his favorite deserts.  Boojum, elephant trees, agave, and dudleya are featured along with succulents such as Pedilanthus macropcarus.  This particular region of the Sonoran Desert features visually stunning landscapes such as the Cataviña boulder field along with a few fog belts where Tillandsia recurvata can be seen growing on succulents. He hopes you’ll be inspired to visit what is probably the most lush desert in the world.
