Slow and Steady

010 Tepic (MMEP) - Zapopan (MMZP).

  1. After taking off we flew a tight turn to the north and began our climb to 7,000ft. As we did so, the Volcán de Sangangüey came into view. Quite majestic!

  2. The highlands are looking beautiful! This shot was taken halfway between San Leonel and La Galinda.

  3. Further east we passed the Volcan Ceboruco near Coapan.

  4. A benefit of our higher-than-usual altitude - as soon as we cross valleys we can have some nice top-down shots as seen here above Ixtlán del Rio.

  5. After entering the State of Jalisco we kept following Highway 15D, passing La Quemada on the way. in the background you can spot the Volcán de Tequila.

  6. We’re getting closer! On our way towards the volcano we stumbled across the town of Magdalena.

  7. One of the Top 10 favourite cities of party people - TEQUILA! Sadly I couldn’t get both the city and the volcano into the same shot, but the valley beyond is a nice background, too.

  8. Almost in Guadalajara! This was taken near La Primavera. If you look closely you can see some really high mountains rising out of the fog in the far distance!
