👉 Mesquitas, a term that is often used in Latin America and other parts of South American countries, refers to a type of tree known as the "musketeer" or "tropical pine". These trees are characterized by their thick bark, which gives them a distinctive orange-red color, and their elongated leaves with a heart-shaped shape. Mesquitas are found in many regions throughout Latin America, from Brazil to Peru, and are often used for its medicinal properties.
