A Saunter to Playa Vanados

Image
Starting at the plaza in Lo de Marcos, step onto Calle Francisco Madero on the west side of the plaza. Head south for two blocks. You will arrive at a street where horses and trees abound. The trees here have branches devoid of leaves that have been eaten by the inhabitants. As the sun rises and begins to warm the air, look carefully for iguanas basking on the bare branches - these elusive creatures are often high up in the trees.                              Continue down the lane and, at the intersection, turn right. Follow this road until you reach Calle Minitas, where you'll turn right. A short distance to the right, you'll find a lagoon teeming with life; turtles and egrets can be seen feeding, along with the occasional crocodile. Now return south, and you  will find some ponds filled with water lilies and dragonflies. Jus...

This is a seven kilometer hike up and back, with many up and down hills. Just south of the entrance to the town of Monteon is a dirt road that heads East. You'll know it's the right road when you pass the high Tower on the left,(west), before you get to the Monteon entrance with the arch, also on the west side of the highway.  Take this road until you get to the underpass of the autopista.

This is a strenuous uphill hike to breathtaking views of Lo de Marcos. Starting at the Lo de Marcos Plaza, We head East On the principal street called Louise Echeverria. Then we turn left onto Calle Colima. Passing a fruit stand, you might want to get a liquido (friut smoothie), if you're thirsty. Then turn right on Benito Juarez to the next corner where you turn left onto Calle Vicente Guerrero. And then right on Calle Francisco Madero, which will take you in front of our local middle and high school. At the next corner, Calle Miguel Hildago, turn left and head towards the river. This is not the straight route through town, but it's the fun route. After you cross the river, the road will veer to the left, heading down the river towards the ocean.

The farmers rotate their crops, one year, growing corn, another year corn, sometime...
