\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When you walk along the Malecon in Catemaco you will see dozens of launches and boat captains trying to sell you a ride to see the monkeys on the small island in the lake. I had paddled my kayak there before, so we passed on a boat ride, We checked out the shops and restaurants instead.<\/p>\n

I found this artist rendering of the Catemaco-Tuxtla area, I loved the detail and it gave me the idea to take a bike ride along the canal that comes out of the lake right past our campground.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ride was good idea after the big turkey dinner last night. Most everyone one in camp and in the Casitas attended, so there was lots to eat.<\/p>\n

The road down to the canal is a little bumpy but the path is not too steep. Peggy was able to peddle back up it\u00a0 without a problem. The path along the canal has several dips and Vados but was a nice ride with some good views looking back toward San Andres. \"\"<\/a>\u00a0After about 2-1\/2 mi the canal ends in a small lake where the water then plunges through a huge pipe to the power station below. We started down the hill but realized that it goes down a long way and we were not going to take that long a ride in this hot weather. So, we turned around and peddled back to camp to have a nice lunch. It would be a nice walk for those that don\u2019t have bikes along.<\/p>\n
