Re Batopilas: "We hunted but could not find a margarita anywhere"
As we were told, alcohol is not sold or served in commerial establishments. However. If you stay at a hotel and you'd like dinner that evening, you
should make that known, and you will be scheduled to eat at a local residence. Very likely they will have beer, but not much else. Likewise, a
couple blocks from the town square (coming into town on the river side), there is a large residence with a large backyard with a river view, which is
known to serve alcohol (I had a beer, not sure what else they have). So you could ask around for where alcohol is served. If you really want a
margarita, take your own ingredients, and possibly have them mixed at the local residence type dinner or maybe your hotel manager can accommodate you.
And on the availability of dinner, if you find a restaurant, make a point to ask if they'll be serving dinner and tell them you'll be coming back to
be sure they'll still be open.
Another note: there are private vans to take you to Batopilas (pretty expensive - per van - not per person), but the local bus that goes every day,
is a fraction of the cost - about $20 USD. This is a bargain for all that adventure!
5:00 a.m. return time - LOL - si, we waited in the rain! |
