| Unfortunately there were not enough horses for us all, but never mind, each horse was accompanied by its owner on foot. So, those on foot, arrived at the ruins before us, after happily twisting their ankles and catching pinolillos. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, even the horses enjoyed the wonderful grass. The "ruins" turned out to be a lot less wonderful but still worth the venture. If it had not been for our pedestrian companions we would have loved to proceed into the high lands beyond the "ruins". |
| So we returned to the pueblo, found its eco lodge, parked our horses and awaited our scrumptious dinner. We had forgotten the birthday cake for one of our companions and had to send a "lancha" through the heavy swell to recover it. We all drooled over the wonderful meal prepared by those proficient cooks of Las Margaritas, sang "Las Mañanitas" to our birthday companion and decided to return home. The waves in the laguna were just too rough to do a night time search for crocodiles. Note: The boat we rented has left Catemaco. |

| It is not only monkey behinds you can visit on Laguna Catemaco. You can create your own adventure if you can share the cost with some friends. We left Catemaco on a beautiful sunny morning, and then some waves started kicking. Upon arriving at the Tepeyaga peninsula our on boat guide informed us the most popular stone glyph was submerged and the others were not really worthwhile to dunk into the churning waters to explore. So we headed around the point, which also is alleged to have some stone carvings, and entered the Rio Margaritas. At its entrance, our lancheros awaited us, transferred us to their row boats, and moved us to the Rio Margarita shore to meet our horses. |
