Rio Colotepec

Rio Colotepec is a large river that flows through the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It starts in the highlands of San Francisco and passes through towns located in the middle of the Sierra Madre mountain range before ending at the resort town of Zicatela on the Pacific coast. It is a great place to go for a peaceful kayak or canoeing excursion. It is popular among the local inhabitants, who love to take shallow canoe trips up the river and picnic next to the shore. You can also see barefoot water sports-lovers skipping and jumping their way through the usually still waters. Also, throughout the year you'll find people fishing for tilapia, trout, and other species native to the river. It is a unique way to experience the region's amazing lush landscapes and culture.
