Agave Plants were scattered about the terrain near the Honanki ruins. These plants can live to be quite old. Agaves are considered to be succulents and at least 300 species have been discovered.As we hiked to the ruins, our guide pointed out several Agave plants along the way. He said that at the end of their life, these plants shoot up a stalk of flowers.
They're useful for a few reasons: The Blue Agave plant is used to make tequila. Also, these plants were used by Native Americans for fiber and to produce a fermented beverage called pulque.
