Alamos is a picturesque town, a labyrinth of streets and Andalusian-styled houses, linking to a colonial past… as frequently happens in Latin America, their inhabitants take advantage of the beautifulness of the place (which was a mining center) to host travellers in their own apartments or, as they are called, “casas particulares”. After a short stay in Alamos, our nomadic travel started again following more or less chance stages. We went along the coast as far as Los Mochis, where we waited for the train to Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre), but we definitely lost it. Finally we decided to take a bus to Mazatlan, where we are still now. It is a port city with a sandy beach, nothing unforgettable. The Tropic of Cancer line is a few kilometers north from us: from now on, we’ll travel in the tropical region!
