    After Divisadero you get to San Rafael, where the paved road ends (Thankfully ....) so we got on to do what I like best, rolling and jumping around in beat up trails .... The Mighty ChePe, going down to the coast. On our way to Cerocahui.

    On the way to Divisadero, you are actually driving on a narrow ridge most of the way. On one side its the famous divisadero ..... But on the other its a very nice canyon on its own right, not as breathtaking but with a small beach on the bottom that just begs to make a camp on.
