I loved taking a day to travel to Catemaco and do this tour. The greens that you see in the jungle are unlike anything else I have seen. There are old statues everywhere (I think otemec) Overall I loved the experience.

Catemaco is features in one of my books ("Love Waits" by Judah Knight), and I can't think of a more enchanting place in the region. This lake is so beautiful and memorable. I was disappointed that the weather prevented me from taking the boat tour.
