Days 125 & 126: Palenque to Ciudad del Carmen
On Saturday morning, we left Palenque and rode about five hours through another bumpy road to Ciudad del Carmen. Despite the less-than-ideal road conditions, the ride was more pleasant than the one that got us to Palenque. We did get stopped at a checkpoint with the federal police; however, the encounter was a painless […]
Day 124: The Cascading Waterfalls of Agua Azul
On Friday morning, we rode a little over an hour from Palenque to the Cascadas de Agua Azul – a series of waterfalls famous for its turquoise-blue waters found on the Xanil River. The water has a high content of calcium carbonate and various other minerals so all the rocks and trees that the water […]
Day 123: San Cristóbal de las Casas to Palenque
On Thursday morning, we left San Cristóbal de las Casas and headed towards Palenque. It was a long day on the road with close to five hours of riding on what was the worst road we have encountered in Mexico and a lunch stop in Ocosingo. The road from San Cristóbal de las Casas to […]
Days 121 & 122: Tuxtla Gutiérrez to San Cristóbal de las Casas and a Gastronomic Delight
We stayed in and worked for our entire Tuesday in Tuxtla Gutiérrez and then on Wednesday, we did a short ride of a little over an hour to San Cristóbal de las Casas. This city was chosen as a stop for one night because it shortened our ride to Palenque, our next stop where […]
Day 120: Cruising Through the Sumidero Canyon
On Monday, November 20, we went to explore the Sumidero Canyon, which is located just North of Tuxtla Gutiérrez and was about a 20-minute ride from our accommodation. The creation of the canyon began around the same time as the Grand Canyon by a crack in the area’s crust and subsequent erosion by the Grijalva River […]
Days 118 & 119: Oaxaca to Salina Cruz to Tuxtla Gutiérrez
On Saturday morning, we left Oaxaca and headed towards Salina Cruz, our stop for the night on the way to Tuxtla Gutiérrez where the Sumidero Canyon was located. It was a hot 4.5 hour ride and the route did not have much in the way of conveniences because our lunch options were restricted to potato […]
