    It is a small town located on the upper watershed of the Antigua River. It is surrounded by beautiful mountain views and lush greenery. Many of the locals farm sweet mangos, mamey, banana and lime.Tourist know the area is for its eco-sports.

    The local resturants are known for its fresh trout, acamaya (giant river shrimp) and crucetas (a soft cactus). We will enjoy a good lunch beside the river before we set off into nature.

     Our walk will begin on a small dirt road that passes thru the jungle with views of the vally. This road is used by local excursion companies, farmers on donkies and other hikers.  As we enter the forest we will turn onto a foot trail. This trail will bring us under the canopy of mango and rainforst trees. We will cross a small river and then hike up a dry river bed of boulder. At times we may need to use our hands and feet to manouver up the river bed. Surrounded by giant trees and cliffs you will forget Xalapa even existed. Our excursion destination is a number of fresh water pools. The water holes where created by a once large system of small water falls. The water no longer has its strong force and is now a series of water holes and a brook. Hikers can jump in the water from a rope swing, dip their toes in, relax, explore and enjoy the scenery.

    poza jalcomulco 9The hike is approximatly 1 hour in each direction. We will take a rest before heading up the river bed. This will allow the group to to feel comfortable and enjoy the forest. Hikers can stop and take a few photos as we walk.

    We will meet at Los Sauces bus stop on December 05 at 10 am and take a 20 minute bus to Coatepec.

    Volcancillo Off ISA Excursion November 28

    El Volcancillo (small volcano)     

    volcancillo 4

    Is located 45 minutes outside of Xalapa. It has a cooler climate than Xalapa and is very comfortable for an uphill hike.

     We will start on foot walking thru the small misty farm town of Toxtlacoaya. Entering the base of the once active volcano we will have a pleasant walk thru the forest. There is a wide variety of flora and fauna amongst the lava rocks. As we ascend we will see the changes in the vegetation and the formation of caves. The ascending hike will take approximately 45 minutes. The hike is uphill and will get your blood flowing. The hike can be done by practically all levels of hikers/walkers. It is a moderate level of exercise but done at a leisurely pace. Hikers can take a few photos and enjoy the view. We will take 2 short breaks during the walk up so everyone is in good form. When we reach the top of the crater we will have time to sit, relax and explore. This will allow us to soak in the beautiful surroundings, enjoy a packed lunch, take photos and explore. There are a couple of small caves that can be investigated at the responsibility of the individual. Cave exploration is not a part of the tour but can be done during our resting time on the top of the crater.  Our descending path is a bit shorter and easier than the ascending path with a different perspective of the surrounding.

    Meeting point:

    We will meet on Saturday, November 28th inside the Caxa bus station at 1030 a.m.volcancillo 3

    I suggest using the bathroom facilities at the bus station being they will be the last “indoor” facility during our trip. The bus ride will take about 45 minutes including stops. We will take the same bus root back to the Caxa bus station. You can call your host family to pick you up (from Caxa) or you can take a taxi or bus to your home or downtown. Taxis from Caxa can be prepaid and shared with a fellow hiker. We will be arriving back at Caxa anywhere between 5 and 7 pm.

       

    What do I bring?

    The climate can be cool in Volacancillo. Wear layers to stay comfortable.

    T-shirt with long pants and a sweatshirt seems to work best. You must wear comfortable sneakers or hiking boots. The lava rock can be sharp and not safe for sandals or slip on shoes. Be sure to eat a good breakfast before we meet. Bring toilet tissue, a bottle of water and a packed lunch. The last place you can buy drinks and snacks are at the bus station. If you desire to buy items at the bus station; please do so before the group meeting time. Bring a flashlight if you would like to look inside the caves. Bring a backpack or some type of bag to carry your personal items. Every individual will be required to carry their own belongings. 

     The total cost of this tour is $200. Pesos. This includes the bus fare from Caxa to the volcano and back to Caxa. You are responsible for transportation cost to and from your home from the bus station. We are more than willing to help you with directions and transportation information to and from Caxa.

    Feel free to invite friends and family 🙂 The price is the same for all participants. All those who participate are required to be 18 years of age and sign a release form.  Please email Sundari or write on the ISA office signup sheet a contact number and the names of all attendants in advance.

    Mis apuestas para el PT Austin

    Decks que creo van a aparecer como los decks a vencer

    de la platica con Jesus Solano y Ernesto Malpica El jueves 15 de octubre

    Hypergensis con progenitus (esta insano) y sin serum powder

    Dark deeps vampire combo UB o GB le voy mas al GB

    Bridge from the Below (Memo´s time)

    en resumen los decks de combo estan que arden.

    en los agro?

    Zoo con Gaddock teeg (no canonista)

    bichos a investigar

    Goblin guide en zoo la neta si me late.

    Land fall bichines

    Steppe lynx con las feth lands te pega 4 en turno 2 ta regueno

    Plated Geopede es como el lince pero con first strike un turno despues ta reloco.

    y el cangrejito del edro que te hace tirar cartas esta muy insano para el bridge y el vampiro inortal tambien el bloodghast

    creo firmemente que bridge es una muy buena opcion.

    Control?

    de plano nada

    no me laten los decks estan muy nuevos como para saber como controlarlos pero me imagino que cosas blancas con path ira y baneslayer angel

    otros a checar el caballero del relicario esta muy duro y junto con el tamagochi es posible que un deck BG  agro control logre romperle la maraca a todos

    todo esto me hace pensar que un deck bien estudiado de goblins si puede ser una buena opcion.

    Fernando Dominguez dice que GB Death clouth es la neta.

    la verdad no se que se llevo al final es buen jugador pero creo que el deck es mala eleccion

    todo el formato esta muy rapido el lighting bolt esta de regreso y eso quiere decir que todos te ganan un turno antes

    quizas un deck mono rojo super agro con las crichos land fall se ponga loco

    que tal boros???

    All in red seria mi opcion ahora con chalice main

    Doran sin toughtseize
