Weekend in Las Tuxtlas

Hi all!
This weekend our BCA group took a trip to the volcanic mountain range- las tuxlas. www.tuxlas.org We visited a rural community but our sleeping location was up in the jungle/forest run by a community organization in order to support the community by creating opportunities to share natures beauty. It was truly beautiful and we took many nature hikes: one to a lake in a crater (then the rain chased us back to our cabins) and the other to a gorgeous waterfall where we swam. We ate handmade tortillas and enjoyed our time. It was great to get out of the city and to experience the different parts of Mexico. The scenery from the busride was incredible. If any of you have seen the movie, Apocolypse(sp?) we were in the area where it was shot.
Soon I will post a few short videos both of Xalapa and of the trip!
hasta luego!
