Traveling the road from Jalpan


Traveling in central Mexico can take you into some beautiful mountains. My wife and I spent many days wondering around these wonderful places in search of small towns and historic locations. On this day we were returning from spending a few days in the mountain town of Jalpan.  I stopped to make a photo of the rugged terrain and noticed a road running up through the mountains. It can be seen in the upper right side of the above photograph. We found the road and went to a beautiful mountain town called San Joaquin.  It is a long and winding road that takes you to the top of the mountain where the town is located, and that is where the road ends. We found San Joaquin to be a delightful town and have made several return trips. We have a friend that lived full time in his RV in Mexico for many years and wrote a wonder blog of his adventures. I had read on one his blog post of his adventures of traveling up and down the mountain to visit the town of San Joaquin. After making the trip in a car I am amazed he ventured out to a high mountain area with his rig.  Reading his blog of traveling in Mexico in an RV gave us the desire to make the trip. Those days we some of the best in our travels. Many thanks to George the "Vagabond Supreme" and his blog.
