Ah, Manuelito:
It´s good to know someone misses Dawg who has been suffering from a defective keyboard among other things. Off to the Soconusco with planned visits to the area around Motozintla and a drive into the outer edges of the Reserva de La Biosfera El Triunfo, a stay in a fancy old German coffee finca along the Ruta del Cafe, a drive in the environs of Volcan Tacaná on the border with Guatemala, a visit to Tapachula (Chiapas´second city as you doubtless know) and up the coast to Tonalá, Puerta Arista and Boca del Cielo and, finally, if time and road conditions allow, back to San Cristóbal via the drive from Tonalá through the Reserva de La Biosfera La Sepultura and Tuxtla Gutierrez. This will be our first exploration of the Soconusco and we are really looking forward to it. This drive takes one from the Chiapas Highlands around San Cristóbal through the Central Chiapas Depression and back up into the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and then to the hot low country along the sparsely populated and somewhat primitive Soconusco coast. I know you may be familiar with some of the region we are crossing. Any input on highlights of this area?
Maybe we´ll settle in some tiny, two-bit beach town south of Puerta Arista - say El Manguito at the end of the dirt road from Cabeza de Toro and subsist in a palapa on beer and the catch of the day. But then, maybe not.
