What to eat?

Eating out in Mexico is the norm as it costs very
little, and gets you out of cooking, which after a
long day on the river will be the last thing you
want to do. Mexican food can be delicious but
take care and choose wisely when selecting a
place to eat. Typical Mexican cuisine usually
includes some kind of meat, refried beans,
usually onions in some form, rice and corn
tortillas. Corn tortillas are a staple and served
with every meal, if you are not a big fan of
tortillas, Mexico might not be the place for you.
There are options to eat more of a range of food
from all over the world, but the local food is
really good. Most food seems to be fried, or
grilled and is fairly greasy. Vegetarians who eat
fish will have a lot of options, but those who
don’t may have to look around more carefully
for veggie options. A big variety of fresh fruit and

alk up some of the steepest hills

ine, good tyres and a high clearance. If the selection is
st ensure your boats all fit on top and be prepared to

out high fuel costs of an American style,
e as petrol is around 50p per litre.
