Get Lost in These 5 Spellbinding Secret Gardens Around the World

British poet and surrealist Edward Frank Willis James was the mastermind behind this garden intertwining the natural and modern world in the depths of Mexico's Sierra Madre mountains.

Las Pozas requires some effort to reach but is more than worth the journey to leave the tourist track in the dust. Between 1949 and 1984, James spent millions on the creation of the garden's emblematic concrete structures, which are now deeply rooted in the dense rainforest surrounding Xilitla. Today, visitors to this garden and art museum can cross a bridge and pass a rushing river before entering the eccentric world of the writer — all 80 acres of its pristine wilderness, moss-covered sculptures, and whimsical structures with names like The House of Three Floors That Will In Fact Have Five or Four or Six.
