About this trap
El Vigilante is a bronze guardian about 25 meters tall on a 6-meter base, standing at the Ecatepec and Tlalnepantla border beside the Mexico-Pachuca highway. The base was designed as a viewing deck, but visitor access has been limited for years, so do not plan a walk up to it. Shoot it from a passing bus or car with a telephoto, and never stop on the highway shoulder. Sculptor Jorge Marin shaped it as a crouching reading of Ehecatl, the wind god.
