Cataviña
is a very scenic, memorable location. Marked by
granite boulder fields, it may be like nothing
you've ever encountered before. This desert
locale is a favorite with many. Fresh water in
the canyons provides for the palms and other vegetation
growing in the region. Hotel La Pinta, on the
Southbound side of the highway is a good place
to take a break and refresh. Across the way from
the hotel, is a very good place to eat and is less expensive.
If you do stop at the Hotel La Pinta, take a look
at their decorative garden behind the restaurant
area...very nice.
There is a store on the Northbound side of highway
for refreshments. Near the more Northernmost arroyo
is where some Indian paintings can be found. Inquire
in town. During the hot times of the year be especially
watchful for rattlesnakes, as they abound in this area.
Hiking and exploring should be done during the
cooler months of the year as it can get extremely hot
in the summer. The Pemex station is not in operation,
but gasoline is sold there by private vendors. |
