Town Of Yelapa

Here’s some pictures of the town.  The story is a few posts “back”

The town's main dock where the small ferry boat comes from Puerto Vallarta. This is basically the only way to get here other than by horseback or boat.

The town goes straight up the mountain, so very steep. Here's a view down into the bay (Charisma is in the left rear of the photo)

This is as wide as the streets get since they have no cars.

But they do have horses that they use to carry stuff through town.

Very colorful!

Another view of the town back from the bay and along the river

And finally, the happy dogs of the town.

To The Yelapa Waterfall

One last trip with our boat buddies.  These are the pictures from our Yelapa adventure detailed below

All good adventures should start with lunch on the beach

The local dogs know where to hang out. This little puppy was learning early

Heading up the trail looking for the waterfall. Very tropical.

Some of the "huts" were very well designed...

...some looked a little rickety

 

No cars here, so the horses do the work

Wildlife along the trail

 

Lush, partly jungle along the trail

There were multiple river crossings along the way

We missed this "sign" the first day. Can you see the word; "waterfall"?

We found it the second day. Here's Dave "claiming" it for Camanoe. (The water looks dirty because of the sandy bottom, but it's really very clear)

Fun With Friends

We’ve had some good times with a lot of friends that we’ve met along the way so far.  Camanoe and Dos Leos are two boats who have now left.  Camonoe has gone South and Dos Leos has gone North.  We of course, are soon to be heading West.
