How did you arrange for rental. Did,you just show up or is there an email, phone number, website to book in advance. We don’t want a guide
Thank you

Just show up.

Would you have a contact phone number?
We would like to explore the area without taking a tour.
Thanks!

No, I don't have Bulfrano's number. Not even sure there's phone or cell service in that area. I don't recommend going into the sierra region without a local guide.

So far the most current thing I can find is 2016, other than this article which makes it sound like it's not currently happening. https://suracapulco.mx/impreso/5/piden-a-sectur-reactivar-en-zihuatanejo-a-la-comunidad-ecoturistica-mesas-de-bravo/

But it is currently happening, and family relative Bulfrano Bravo was recently in town making that point. Too bad most of our local media seems to cover only highway accidents and the mayor smiling as he pours more of his own company's cement.

Now's an excellent time to go while there's still plenty of fresh water flowing in its numerous waterfalls and natural pools and everything is still green and lush.

Our paddle buddy is coming down next week for her annual birthday visit. This year, aside from paddling and swimming every morning, we are planning to do things.

A kayak trip at Barra was on the list. So is a visit to the ruins. (our other visit 10 years ago sucked big) We are looking for two more things to do, then we will be totally exhausted.

Suggestions on where to eat at Barra and near/around the ruins? We have no clues. Also looking for something fun to do other than things like Isla Ixtapa or Las Gatas. Totally not going fishing!!!

Go to see the cascadas at Mesas de Bravo! They will serve you lunch as part of the tour.
