In the last 9 days several rivers have been explored in the states of Puebla/Hidalgo:
Rio Ajajalpan (starting at Tepatlan 400 m; 80 km; class III-IV to start, then getting easier); 80 km
Rio San Marcos-Cazones (starting at Pahuatlan 800 m; 82 km; class IV to start, then progressively easier; one section with some V)
Rio Necaxa (starting at second power plant 500 m; 10 km; great fun)
Rio Apulco (upper part; 1700 m ~7 km; class II; amazing gorges like Rio Mezquital)
Rio Pantepec (starting by San Bartolo Tutuotepec 900 m; 53 km to Mecapalapa; class IV with some V; then III to II)
Many more rivers will be explored in the coming month. Please let me know if you're interested in joining me. This is a project to produce a new updated and comprehensive guidebook to the Sierra Madre Oriental.
