Highway 175 curves its way from Puerto Ángel [1] north, rising from the coast, continuing past a scattering of villages set in luxuriant forests, and finally climbing to cool, pine-tufted heights, where on a clear day the shining blue Pacific far below seems half a world away.
Travelers who hurry along this route find little; many of those who linger discover pleasant surprises along the way.
