After years of living here in Huatulco, we sometimes take this place for granted. Even though there is plenty of fun and adventure to be found, we often let the weekends and holidays float away, reading or binge watching some tv series.
Isaac helped get the Easter Week vacation off to an active start this year by arranging a trip to the Magic Waterfalls with a tour service. It's a place I haven't been to since arriving here to live but it is well worth the trip and long overdue.
Huatulco is such a small place. There's Luis Antonio, from UMAR, working with a tour group on his vacation. Seriously, not a bad job at all.
Every tour takes a side trip to sell you something. This is where we stopped. Other tours have arrangements with other stores selling mezcal and chocolate. I waited outside on a bench and read my novel.
It wasn't too long before we were off to our main destination.
Our destination was Copalatilla, a series of waterfalls and lagoons. The water was bracing, exactly what everyone wanted after a long hot drive up the mountain. The other option is Llano Grande, a much bigger waterfall, but there really is only enough time to enjoy one or the other.
This was our first stop. We stayed here long enough for other tour groups to clear the way. It's very well organized. The trails don't have enough space for every tour at once so one group moves ahead only after the previous one has moved on.
This is where it gets interesting but I had to leave the camera behind at that bamboo railing in the background because there was no way to keep anything dry Next time, I'll bring a waterproof camera and try and do justice to the caves with gushing water we climbed through with ropes
Here's the place all the tour groups end up for an all-you-can-eat meal (included with the tour) before heading home. After our swimming, we were seriously hungry.
Isaac, the man who made it happen.
Time to go home.
