(^24) Tambor – Montezuma - 21 kilometres
The following morning, the route remained narrow and near-vertical in places.
Barely twelve kilometres down the drag, a sign pointed to Montezuma Beach. Being
curious about what was at the end of this potholed dirt track, we turned off to
investigate. Seven kilometres further, the tiny beach village of Montezuma
appeared. Hidden amongst dense forests, Montezuma was a true paradise and
home to surfers and hippies alike. So laid-back was it that the place became known
as Montefumar (‘fumar’ is Spanish for smoke). It was an excellent place to follow
suit and swing in a hammock while puffing away for a few days.
We read books, swam in the ocean, and eventually trundled to a nearby waterfall.
Doing little made the days fly by, and soon it came time to continue our journey.
