- Continental Turtle Island Rainbow gathering. Los Tuxtlas region in
southern Vera Cruz Look for directions sometime in late
Februrary. Further info can be found at www.catemaco.org . This page is
currently being translated to english so be patient. However you may
enter that rainbow message
board scroll down to the arcoiris/rainbow postings.
DIRECTIONS: From Catemaco take a local bus(they are a pick up truck and locally
called piratas) to Sontecomapan(they leave every 15 minutes from
Catemaco and it is aboput a 20 minute ride). On the way tell the bus
driver to drop you off at the road that goes to the town of
Coxcoapan. It is about 3km down that road to the entrance and you can
either wait there and take another local bus that goes to Coxcoapan
twice a day or you may walk or hitch a ride from a farmer or
local. The entrance is on the right hand side of the road and it will
be well marked(if you are driving the parking is across from the
entrance on the left hand side of the road) and you walk from there
about 15 minutes to WELCOME HOME!!!
NOTE--- The ranch is owned by Eduardo. When you pass a gate that is
closed, open it and close again behind you, if it is already open then
leave it open. It is tick season and so it is best to avoid the tall
grass areas of the site. The ticks are harmless except that they are
small and they itch like hell and you need to check your body often to
remove them.
