Both my parents are from Plan de Capulin and this is a very nice picture. I try to make it out there every year with them...the volcano makes for a beautiful site, whether at night or by day.

It's a very dry region, as it lies in Orizaba's rain-shadow, and it's got that distinctly Mexican, high-plateau feel to it. What makes it truly unique and adds a bit of interest is the climbing community that's grown up around several of the families in town. If you have enough time to devote an afternoon to the area, you could learn a lot from stopping in at the Reyes family's "lodge" and talking to the family and local guides, catching a ride up to the "base camp" lodge in one of their old lorries, or just poking around the town. If you've got a bit more time on your hands, there are some spectacular crater lakes to be seen just outside of another pueblo called Seco, maybe 15-20K to the south. Sorry to morph into a travel agent there. Don't want to push a place on anyone, but it's a beautiful region of México... hope someone can make use of the info.
