WOW! That was as impressive as is a giant redwood tree. I hope somebody suffered for that mal deed, besides the public! There used to be an old
timer (cactus) like this one (not as large) along Paseo de Pescador just before you reach La Madera. It disappeared when the remodel of the paseo happened. I didn't think it was sick. PROGRESS!

There was a large one right at the very beginning of the beach where the old path used to be uphill back before the walkway was built. And another very large one where Xihuacán condos are that "accidentally" got knocked over by a front-end loader when they were clearing the land.

Or is this the one you're referring to?

Rob...are there any other "majestic" giants of this type around here, that you know of? Awesome is my adjective for your picture of it.
Thank you

I'm sure there are. I can see a pretty big one near the top of the hill directly behind downtown, above Colonia Vicente Guerrero - Parte Alta. But I don't know where specific old cactus are. I recall seeing several on the drive between Zihuatanejo and Acapulco.

Guerrero's health officials report they currently register 26 active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 5 in La Unión, 1 in Petatlán, 2 in Técpan, 171 in Acapulco, and 969 in the entire state.

Yesterday’s rains made for cool sleeping weather Saturday night. And once again at first light Playa Principal was full of tourists, many with their towels on the beach and splashing about in the water.

Quite a crowd at Zihuatanejo’s beaches today as well as along the waterfront during the early evening. Restaurants had clients and everyone looked like they were having fun. That’s what Zihuatanejo’s all about!

This majestic cactus used to adorn the hill called Cerro de los Brujos at La Chole, and every year people from the region would go there on the equinoxes. But a landowner dispute led someone to poison it and kill it, so after hundreds of years it’s no longer there.
