Long-distance hiker Cam Honan says that in December of this year he will attempt to walk, cycle or kayak to the three major types of volcanoes, all of which lie within a 50-kilometer range of Guadalajara.
“This is one of the few places in the world,” says the Australian, “where you can find a stratovolcano, a caldera volcano and a scoria cone lying practically side by side. I hope to use a bicycle and a kayak as well as my hiking boots to cover a 100-kilometer route between San Isidro Mazatepec and Tequila – and I hope to do it all in one go.”
The hiker plans to do the triple-volcano tour upon his return from a far more grueling challenge he is now undertaking: a 640-kilometer full-length traverse of Mexico’s Copper Canyon, which the public can follow by checking his website, www.thehikinglife.com. Honan expects to end his Copper Canyon adventure in mid-December and to embark on his visit to the three Jalisco volcanoes “hopefully on Wednesday, December 18.”
