A day's drive inland North from Lazero Cardenas up highway Mex 37 (a nice toll road with just a few four-footed pedestrians along the edges),found us at elevation 5200 feet, in the city of Uruapan. Maneuvering through the city to our destination Hotel Pie de la Sierra, was a bit difficult, but well worth the challenge! The hotel provided us with a grassy spot to park, water and electricity, use of the pool and internet access, hot showers and a great restaurant with a spectacular view.......five-star accommodations! My kind of resort living! This hotel has not yet been discovered by many gringos and has a narrow access road.....SO, most patrons are local families who use it as a weekend retreat. It was a welcome change from the Ixtapa sand lot.......Friday morning after breakfast in the restaurant, we took a taxi into centro and walked around town, ending up at a national park where springs flow out of the ground.
It was a magical green space...(plants on steroids!).....with walking paths paved with black stones that follow the flow of the water. The rest of the afternoon was spent back at Pie de la Sierra by the pool. I had a nice swim.
