Ejutla de Crespo

After our experience in Oaxaca, we changed our plans. Originally, we were going to see some tourist attractions around Oaxaca. But after we saw how many tourists were in the city, we decided to skip it and just go on. I have seen the places 13 years ago and neither of us enjoys sightseeing with a crowd of 1000+ people. The second change is concerning the route. We were going to go North from Oaxaca through the Sierra Norte to head into the state of Veracruz. But we talked to some people and they strongly advised us to take the Southern route through Chiapas in order to get to Palenque. So we are now on our way South towards the Pacific again. Along the highway 175, there are also some cabins, so we should fine a nice mountain retreat for Christmas. Today started well with a nice and easy ride through a high valley. Unfortunately, I had eaten something bad, so we had to stop in Ejutla after only 61km, as I couldn't go on. After some rest in a nice and clean hotel, I feel better again, so tomorrow I should be back on the bike.Read more
