We love to hike, so we were happy to learn of a two-mile trail along
the coast from Boca de Tomatlán to Las Animas. Most tourists
go by water taxi (panga) to Las Animas, Quimixto and
Yelapa, coastal villages west of Boca. We asked about the trail in town and were told that it
goes beyond Las Animas to Quimixto, over four miles (measured on Google Earth). We
planned to start early, stop for lunch along the way and return to Boca by
water taxi in the afternoon. We packed light, took several liters of water and
snacks, wore sturdy trail shoes and started before the sun was over the hills
behind Boca.
