Mexico: A Hiker's Guide to Mexico's Natural History

I found Jim Conrad's book very informative & it inspired me to hike the jungle trail behind the Palenque ruins in Chiapas. The discription of first part of the hike was very accurate. However, once my husband & I reached the second part of the hike, it became apparent that Mr. Conrad never actually finished the hike himself. The descriptions faded out & we ended up hiking at least 5 miles farther than the book describes. I just wanted to warn anyone else hiking the Palenque trail that hiking the full circle is much farther than the book indicates. When you get to the river & over the hanging bridge (well worth it), you might want to turn around & head back the way you came, through the jungle & back to the ruins. The rest of the way is a gravel farm road(estimated 5-7 miles)to the road main road leading back to Palenque city.

The writer is the man which we can absolutly beleving to him without deform. I am glad that I knowed man like he is. I am met him in my travel in Mexico. He is absolutly tie together with nature like nobady else.
