Kaktus Hotel

In the Southwestern US, an imposing figure rises into the sky. Unmissable - and at first sight devoid of life. But if you look closely, the icon of the Sonoran Desert is full of life. For centuries, a large saguaro cactus has attracted a multitude of wild guests. From the roots in the basement up to the rooftop bar, this somewhat different nature documentary tells exciting stories about a really old "cactus hotel".
