We encountered Santa María Huatulco shortly after takeoff


The new highway from Santa Maria Huatulco to Pluma Hidalgo can be seen running along the ridge in the background.


A closer look at the highway


The highway runs along the top of a ridge


The highway enters Pluma Hidalgo in the background from the west (left) and continues eastward to communities higher in the Sierra Madres. Pluma Hidalgo sits at an elevation of 4265' (1300 meters) GPS 15°55'N 96°25'W. It is a coffee-growing region.

We were flying close to the ridges in order to gain lift from the sea breeze. My passengers took some interest in this navigational radio at this point. We took a less direct route back to Tampico and needed only 10,000 feet to clear the Sierra Madres this time.


View of Pluma Hidalgo from the west shows the highway to Santa Maria Huatulco in the lower part of the photo.
