Troncones

5 of us would like to go to Troncones for the day. I remember a post of someone with a van. Can anyone refresh my memory, Por Favor?

Have my older sister (81) and her daughter staying with us for a week. Also have a 2 day overlap with my son , his wife and 2 young boys (4 and 7) . Would like to keep them all happy and entertained for an afternoon next week outside of Zihua and Ixtapa . Was thinking of Barra , Troncones and Isla Ixtapa ......Comments , alternatives or suggestions please

Barra de Potosi would be my choice. Good restaurants offering plenty of shade, water the kids can play in and boat tours are available for the lagoon. Take a camera and beach towels.

Isla Ixtapa has our vote. Just took my 80 year old brother and his 80 year old wife there, and we all had a ball. Take extra crackers to feed the fish in ankle deep water on Playa Coral.

We fish on the way to Isla Ixtapa and have the folks at El Indio cook some of our catch while we snorkel at Playa Coral. No need to bring crackers; there are plenty of tortillas left to feed to the fish. We fish with Guillermo Arciniega Cell: 044-755-108-9380. He calls El Indio and they'll meet you at the pier.

I agree!! Barra is a wonderful. It's relaxing, yet there are lots of things to do. AND the food is great and well priced.
