Ciudad Guzman

We asked Warmshowers host Santiago in Ciudad Guzman if we could stay with him for the night, but he wasn't home, so he hooked us up to stay with his friend Gerardo, what a champ! Gerardo met us at city hall after a mountain bike ride with a friend and toured us back to his place where we met his girlfriend Gina and their one and half year old son Matias. We were pretty pooped from the climbing so were glad to eat a late lunch with them and then relax for the evening, chatting about biking, hiking and climbing adventures. Gerardo guides people up the Nevado de Colima, a dormant volcano beside the Colima Volcano, and is really excited about mountain adventures. He and Gina really like living in Ciudad Guzman because of the great access to the outdoors. They hope to take an adventure road trip with Matias when he is a bit older through North and South America, and we hope they'll plan to come to Whitehorse during their travels. We joined Gerardo, Gina and Matias for a waffle breakfast in the morning, then we all hopped on our bikes (ours loaded for the road ahead, and Gina's with Matias in a seat in front of her) and toured the city, making sure to stop for frozen yogurt at Gina's family's ice cream shop before we headed back out on the road again.Читать далее
