Tehuantepec – Stopover in a little town

DEC 26, 2015 (2) – Due to limited bus connections, I decided to spend an afternoon in Tehuantepec and take a night bus from there. The city was not touristy, but still pretty tidy and colorful. There was a tourist office, but it was a joke – they had only one brochure available and any person in the street could probably have told me more about the city than the office clerk. I left my bag at a hotel and strolled through the market and the little fairground that had been set up. There were also some nice churches, although the oldest one was closed. Apparently I could have gone hiking in the area, but I had already booked my onward journey. Later that night, I took a bus to Tuxtla GutiĆ©rrez, and then on to San Cristobal de las Casas, where I arrived around 6 am.
