Travelling in Mexico with Ush! Part 2

Here are some photos of our wonderful time in the mountains outside of Oaxaca city, we went on a three day hike and horseride between towns and then made our way to the beach down the south of Mexico.....very relaxing!
The mountains around Oaxaca where there are ecotourism iniatives with cabins, tour guides and walks between the eight joining towns...so spectacular!




Outside of our cabin in Amatlan...
The gorgeous cooks, so little!!
A quick email session home high up in the mountains...before heading off for a few days!

All set and ready!! And great weather for it...

The exquisite "Camino de los Fantasmos", the ghostly way!! This Spanish moss hangs down and waves in the breeze, reminding the locals of The day of the Dead!!!






So incredibly magical!!


Loving nature!!!









Arriving in the first town....Latuvi...2400metres...
The gorgeous man who came out of his house to welcome us and ask some questions...he was very proud of his chicken! And had lived in this tiny town hos whole life....

 Our luxurious cabin....


The gorgeous view and crisp moutain air...great to hang in a hammock after our 14 km walk....



A hot chocolate!!!


And a good book...pretty much my definition of paradise...



 A very small fireplace! Not much heat but a great atmosphere...




Next day the same route by horseback....





Ush's horse was very lazy!!!

Arriving by horseback into the town...






 The view from our new cabins!!








A new scene...the beach!
