I have never been camping before, it was a really pleasant experience. A few weeks ago my friends and
I took a camping adventure to Acaxochitlán, in Hidalgo, which is located near Mexico City, we drove to
Tulancingo and then took the Huachinango highway. Once we were there, we had the chance to stand
the camping tents and took a glance to know all the activities we could do there. Miguel found a stream
where there were a lot of fish. Maria found a place where people could pick up some blueberries and
strawberries at a low cost. Local people at this place sold their handmade products such as jewelry,
leather bags, wool hats, and jackets. You could also find a place where you can take showers with hot
water, due to the cold and windy weather.
