The slums of Pachuca
In today's posts of my Pan-American Trek we travel about 400 km south on Mexico Highway 85 through Matlapa, Jacala, Actopan, and ending in Pachuca in the state of Hildago, Mexico. This is my first exposure to the vast slums in central American cities, which tend to be hillside communities where power, water, and roads are not as abundant as they are in the valley. I was deeply moved by the poverty. I was also shocked to find that few pictures exist of these slums online. These are places and times that need to be documented.
PS Someone wrote a story about my Trek.
