El Peñón Blanco Trail, on the Pajapan Coast
Discover the Olmec region!
The day begins at Pajapan’s main park, where we’ll meet up before heading to the municipal market to enjoy a delicious breakfast featuring traditional regional cuisine. Afterward, we’ll travel to the coast, where we’ll leave our vehicles and get ready to start the hike. The first leg of the hike takes us to Peñón Blanco along a rugged trail offering breathtaking scenery, with stops to hydrate and take photos. At the summit, we’ll enjoy the panoramic view of the Los Tuxtlas coast, take photos and videos, and have a light snack before continuing on to Peña La Tortuga. Walking along the beach, we begin the ascent to the tip of the rock; weather permitting, we’ll do some light rock climbing and visit the natural hot spring. Finally, after enjoying this spot, we return to the starting point, get back in our vehicles, and wrap up the adventure at Pajapan’s main park.
