The Saltillo Semi-desert

There is no volcanic belt here. The water drops down faults to the Earth's own heat and comes out in the desert. San Joaquín is the night: a hotel and water from 40 to 42 °C. Arteaga is the next day's visit, cooler, and the last stretch is no longer all pavement.

• Arteaga has no hotel of its own. The route sleeps at San Joaquín.
