I took a bus straight to Tlapacoyan, one of the coolest towns I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been in the middle of the jungle of Veracruz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-MeMtHi5g-pE\/UK0ZtU3eX6I\/AAAAAAAADrc\/lMgeBx3_y7c\/s1600\/church.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-MeMtHi5g-pE\/UK0ZtU3eX6I\/AAAAAAAADrc\/lMgeBx3_y7c\/s640\/church.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"325\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Tlapacoyan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s church<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-yPlgv-n5rvI\/UK0ZyC1WdjI\/AAAAAAAADrs\/_vgH_VvKIxE\/s1600\/sunset.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-yPlgv-n5rvI\/UK0ZyC1WdjI\/AAAAAAAADrs\/_vgH_VvKIxE\/s640\/sunset.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"328\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>\n<p>Sunrise from Aventurec\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s terrace<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>\n<p>Even though I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have my boat for the first week I was lucky enough to borrow from friends and go kayaking everyday. We were staying in Aventurec, a super nice resort in the middle of paradise. Great food, orange trees everywhere, tidy gardens and super nice people make Aventurec the perfect place to stay. So everyday we would go paddle one of the many great runs that Alseseca and the Jalacingo have to offer. We started running the second half of Big Banana from Silencio as the drive, shuttle and hike in were a lot easier, and I think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s become the classic run now. Super nice start with Silencio, and then plenty of other cool rapids down to Tomata bridge. Short run, so you can lap it no problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-qYhW8UcR7Zs\/UK0eLHKnKTI\/AAAAAAAADsc\/e5rP5awT_BE\/s1600\/20112012-silen.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-qYhW8UcR7Zs\/UK0eLHKnKTI\/AAAAAAAADsc\/e5rP5awT_BE\/s640\/20112012-silen.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Qo5khrPFj4w\/UK0cLNyI_jI\/AAAAAAAADsE\/aDRq-KlcHwY\/s1600\/silence+22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Qo5khrPFj4w\/UK0cLNyI_jI\/AAAAAAAADsE\/aDRq-KlcHwY\/s1600\/silence+22.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Silencio<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<div>\n<p>The Tomatas, one and two are just downstream of the take out, so you can keep on going, ran both of them and then paddled the Tomnata gorge aka the Seven Sisters\/Siete Hermanas; as the name says, seven consecutive different style drops.
