Not a walk in the park but a great walk none the less.

Published on Apr, 2024

This is a great hike and a great way to see a piece of Mexico's west coast. Be advised that the hike is challenging. Some areas are steep and the surface of the trail is often littered with rocks, trip hazards, and washed out surfaces. If you have ever done the west coast trail on Vancouver Island you would be familiar with what this trail is like. It's short, under 5 km one way and the beaches are spectacular. The restaurants at Playa Las Animas had delicious food. I walked this in a pair of water shoes that have a fairly robust soul. Gear I took along, was a towel, bug spray and water. Take a few extra pesos for 70 peso coconut drink at a stand on Playa Caballo. Have fun and say hi to Roco for me.

Incredible hiking at Boca the Tomatlan

Published on Apr, 2024

This hike has spectacular views of the local hiden quite beaches. The color blue and green clear water is impressive. I saw a variety of birds, it’s a real hike for the ones who love hiking! Abraham, the guide is biologist, knows everything about nature and wild animals and insect. He is very interesting and adapts to your level. I loved this incredible hike at Boca!

Incredible hike at Boca the Tomatlan

Published on Apr, 2024

I had an incredible hike at Boca the Tomatlan visiting 4 magnificent beaches. I went alone and had my private guide Abraham, a passionated botanical that shared everything he knew about nature. We saw a lot of birds. If you love nature, hiking and want to experience a local tour not too touristic and crowded, I recommend this day tour! The guide Abraham adapts to your level, is positive and so sociable. I was impressed by that place!
