El Apompal
Miguel Hidalgo, Catemaco, Veracruz
El Ampopal, named for a lake inside the ejido Miguel Hidalgo sits on the slopes of extinct volcano El Bastonal, on
the northwest edge of the Sierra Santa Marta, about 15 miles from Catemaco.

This communal ecotouristic venture has its roots in a project of the Proyecto Sierra Santa Marta begun in 1997,
and at present primarily entertains eco-tourists bused in from Mexico City by an associated tour operator
(RECT).

Access is via a paved road from Catemaco to Tebanca, via Coyame, then a few miles an a terrible dirt road to
anthe turnoff at Escaceba, then uphill 5 miles passing several hidden gorgeous waterfalls. About 15 miles from
Catemaco

A lodge with 4 dormitory style bedrooms and a kitchen has been built for tour groups. Even without a group,
local women can be convinced to prepare dishes of local culinary treats.
