Hidalgo Huasteca


This past weekend I visited several early convents in the mountains and Huasteca region of Hidalgo. The first is the late 17th century church of Metzquitlan.

Sierra Weather


In Huejutla, which is a part of the Huasteca, the temps were in the upper 80s. Metzquitlan, which is in a gorge that cuts through the Sierra, was also warm. In the mountains it was pleasant, although at the higher elevations around Tachinol and just before descending down to Huejutla, we encountered very heavy fog. Hwy 105 is a very scenic mountain hiway, but is not the best road to be driving when there is heavy fog. Molango was very pleasant-temperate.
