Taking A Hike In Mexico

This hike was actually a two day adventure.  Judy had read about some petroglyphs in the area and Dennis and I set out to find them.

We first met Dennis and Helene on that beach in San Blas and visited them at their home in Quebec on our way back from our trip in Eastern Canada a year ago.

Part of this coast is volcanic rock with offshore islands that I have explored in my kayak.

Here is a volcanic crater with banana trees on the far side.

We have seen many of these in Mexico, as well as many other kinds of fruit.

Our second day of searching led us to this almost dry river canyon.

Here is where we found a hundred or so beautiful petroglyphs.

Here is also where we saw our first Coatamundi, a ring tail animal that we occasionally see in Mexico.

The articles seen above and the coins below are religious tokens left by local indigenous people that still keep old traditions alive all over remote Mexico.

We came upon this small village which had two very small but nice churches.

This is only a three day ride from the U.S. border.

The view toward the coast was beautiful.
