We eventually come to pavement, the first we have seen in several days. El Fuerte is also steeped in history. We check into a lovely hotel with a swimming pool. We spend one night here and make plans to visit the coast in the morning. We eat lunch at a palapa-covered beach front restaurant.
Swimming is available as the water is generally warm and clean.
We swing into town and visit this oceanfront town. We return to our hotel in El Fuerte and head out to a fishing lodge on the Lago de Huites. By traveling through river valleys we arrive back at our lodge in Cerocahui by dusk. Past our hotel, we head inland to the ferryboat docking that will take us across Lago de Huites. From here it begins to look like Lake Powell, Arizona.
