We had a long drive planned from
Hautulco to Chiapas de Corzo. I was really looking forward to
spending some time in Chiapas, so didn't mind the preparation for the
long drive even though we both woke up hungover from the kraken the
night before. This trip would be a very short trip for us, as Eric
picked up an extra shift for someone this week giving us only 4 total
days of travel. That meant that we would spend one night in Hautulco,
two nights in Chiapas de Corzo, and fly out of Tuxtla the next
morning. We both knew this trip would seem way too fast, so we agreed
to take it easy and plan less than we normally would. So, we were
heading to Chiapas de Corzo which was said to be a quaint town
outside of busy Tuxtla, the state's capital, to see Canon Sumidero.
We booked two nights before leaving Hautulco at a reasonably priced
hotel as booking.com promised there were only one room left, and we
didn't want to be stuck driving around aimlessly at night looking for
a hotel.
To be honest the drive was pretty dull
aside from a few scares we had along the way. Our first scare was our
GPS dying leaving us to guide ourselves with freeway signs and
directions. We we able to get ourselves the way we needed to go until
our GPS charged back, so for this we were thankful. Though while driving through
an open field between mountains we hit very large gusts of winds,
well known to the area with the amount of wind turbines, and were
thrown back and forth along the road. My first thought of course was
that we were going to be thrown off the road completely, but I
reassured myself thinking Eric is a good rider and he knows what we
is doing. Later that night, we discussed the winds and Eric admitted
he was very nervous the whole time too and the road was exhausting.
It's conversations like these that make me wonder my it is I decided
to put my life in the hands of someone else? Oh boy.
We arrived in Chiapas de Corzo and
agreed it was a small, cute town. When checking into our hotel we
noticed there wasn't another soul in sight. I told the reception guy
I had a reservation and he looked down at his one piece of paper and
said it was right there. Apparently we were the only ones staying in
the hotel that night. Booking.com, you lie! After settling down we
walked the town and strolled around for dinner. The town is very
small with not much going on. The main reason to visit this town is
for Canon Sumidero and a couple of small ruins they have nearby.
After searching for a place to eat, we found only one taco stand
style restaurant and settled in since we had no other choices. No
matter, they were pretty good and decently cheap. There was really no
point in walking the town again for the second time so we went back
to our hotel room early, blogged, and called it an early night.
Nice park across the street from our hotel
