Hiking


Yesterday we joined a local hiking group on their climb of the hills near Lo de Marcos.  We left at 8:00 hoping to beat the heat - didn’t work!



We were even joined by a local caballero!



The climb was interesting and very hard on the legs and lungs.  The grade was steep and continual, with very little flat land.  It took us 2.5 hours to get up and down.  The views at the top were awesome, but not as spectacular as Tetakawi.  

We were in dire need of fluids when we got down,  so when in Mexico do as everyone does....have a cerveza!!




Next Friday we have a four hour hike planned, but this one is not going to be straight up and straight down.

Wow....what a great hike. View looks amazing, but as you say...not as amazing as Tetakawi!
That Caballero didn't look too happy having his photo taken!
