Langford Hot Springs — Local services in Manuel Benavides

A nice hike! Mostly sandy, flat & short. We had a couple beers while bathing in a nice warm/hot spring. While the river is mostly blocked off with some bricks/concrete.

Running at night injures way more people than the mountain lions do. 🦁 If the hand made trinkets are out, it's a long time tradition that allows our neighbors across the Rio, to make extra money to survive, since the...
