055 Cycle Touring Mexico

(Leana) #1

(^46) Villahermosa – Teapa - 70km

The way north headed inland along flat banana-covered plains
towards the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and en route to the Pacific
Coast. Cycling onto Teapa, the weather was hot and humid, typical of
what one would expect in the tropics. The plan was to stay next to
the river but sadly the place we had in mind was closed, and we
returned to the town centre.
The following morning, rain came bucketing down, and it was easy to
stay put and explore the nearby caves instead. The caves were
fascinating, featuring eight chambers and an underground stream.
Stalagmites and stalactites, beautifully lit, covered the walls; the best
part was being the sole visitor.
