hikuli
Through the peyote peregrination the Huichol Indians repeat their ancestors experiences: their
journey from the Pacific Ocean to the Wirikuta desert, which is located in the state of San Lus
Potos. The participants in this peregrination wear special clothing and are
called peyoteros (hikuritamete). In the Wirikuta desert, they recollect the peyote (Lophophora
Williamsii) which is a psychotropic cactus called by the Huicol people hikuli.
