Mexico Update!

Mr. Karp, the on-campus Winterim coordinator, received a message today from Jerry Wooding. The Rafting in Mexico trip is having a blast! They've been swimming, rafting, and relaxing in hot springs. For more info about their planned activities, check out Tyus's blog post.

Rafting In Mexico - An update on Their Activites

Yesterday the group traveled to Jalcomulco, which is a whitewater boater's dream to go down. It finishes at a hot spring resort that lets you relax in a perfect 90 degrees of naturally heated water.

Today they plan to raft the Rio Pescados River that is known for its constant rapids. When there are small breaks in the rapids, it overlooks the beautiful mango forest. Then later today they will take a mountain hike to Poza Azul.

Tomorrow's plans are something unique because of the river that they are rafting. The Rio Actopan river gets all of its flow from a pristine mega spring gushing of natural ferned wall. The headwaters are continuous and after the first couple of rapids, the difficulty eases for a unforgettable and enjoyable experience.
