UPDATES
We have revisited many of the sites in the book. Some are still about the same, some now lie buried under garbage, and one turned out even more "pristine" than ever! In many cases the directions for finding the place have been changed. We've also added GPS coordinates, which supposedly correspond to the UTM numbers you'll find on the margins of Mexico's topo maps.

A footpath through the lush woods inside the crater brings you to the foot of The Plug, a mighty monolith rising to a height of 2986 meters...but climbable! |
|
 |
The curious cylindrical rock formations on the way to the River of Souls are still accessible...but don't wait too long! |
|
 |
(LA ATARJEA TAPADA) A cool hike to a tasty spring in the beautiful Primavera Forest. |

Are these monoliths a "Mexican Stonehenge?" Whatever the archeologists say, these rock-covered hills above Cuautla are as fascinating as ever. |
|
 |
The lake is gone and some of the petroglyphs too. But we found a fabulous hot spring and a new cave with a "charm all its own." |
|
 |
The favorite spot for Guadalajara's rock climbers and a great place for hiking among impressive monoliths. |
|
 |
Dancing Down the Mountain The mountain is even more beautiful in the wet season. The Virgen is as elusive as ever. Now you can get there without driving through Amatitán or crawling under fences! |

33. LOS POZOS GEOTERMICOS DE LA PRIMAVERA The Silent Geysers of the Primavera Forest The "Ghost Park" is still the greatest place in Jalisco for skateboarding and ideal for camping under the stars...but it was recently declared "off limits" for visitors.
