Cycle Touring Mexico | Alaska to Argentina
Our final days of cycle touring Mexico were amazing and a perfect way to continue our Alaska to Argentina bicycle tour. After exploring the beautiful cities of Puebla and Cholula we were at it again, cycling Mexico. Once we leave the urban area, the roads become quiet and we find ourselves on a dirt and gravel roads as we climb over our final mountain. The descent down from Mexico's central highlands does not go as planned. It's cold, foggy, and the mountain road, with all of its switchbacks is slow going. We eventually go from dry and brown landscape of the central highlands to the low land jungle. Cycling our way to the historic city and archaeological site of Palenque takes a few days, but the ride is easy going and the change of scenery is pleasant. In Palenque, we hike around in the national park looking for ruins and visit the main archaeological complex to view and explore historic pyramids. We also manage to take a very relaxing down day and visit Cascada de Roberto Barrios, a place off the beaten path where you can swim and relax in one of the many natural swimming pools. Our original route and plans change in Palenque due to some civil unrest, so we decide to head to Guatemala's border which is less than a 2 day.
