Early Thursday morning we got a heavy rain but after breakfast it got sunny and was a cooler day in the high 70\u2019s.<\/p>\n

I rode my bike to town to find a water man to bring me 25 gal of water to fill my freshwater tank. Cost was about $7. We don\u2019t use piped water in our tanks as it is not suitable to drink unless treated and filtered. We buy 5 gal bottles of purified water. We feel the cost to just buy good water is not that expensive.<\/p>\n

Since the bike was out I thought I would get some exercise before eating our big dinner tonight. I looked on Google Earth and figured I could ride along the canal that comes from Lake Catemaco and find the road to Eylpantle Falls. This almost 200\u2019 high falls was a scene in the movie Apocalypto, where the warrior jumped off.<\/p>\n

The three mile long canal is a fairly flat scenic trail which ends at the power dam. If you go down the hill along the dam and take the first left turn onto a dirt road after a couple miles you come upon a little town and the road is paved to the town of Comoapan.<\/p>\n

Then turn left and follow the road to Eylpantle Falls. Total one way is 8 mi. Some hills but not a bad ride.<\/p>\n

The town is one big tourist stop with T-shirt stands and refreshment stands by the dozen.<\/p>\n

You can view the falls from an overlook above the falls and\/or you can walk down 250 steps to the river and look up at the falls. Here are my pictures of Eylpantle Falls:<\/p>\n

Even though it was not super hot I was very hot when I returned in time for a quick shower and then our big Thanksgiving dinner supplied by our campground owners Gaby & Gene.Peggy ready for dinner and my big plate of food.<\/p>\n

A great dinner with our camper friends at Tepetapan RV Park & Casitas.<\/p>\n
