Las termas de noche, con el letrero de Bienvenidos entre toda esa vegetación, es la parada que más se me quedó, y eso que el post está lleno de letreros. Se nota que fuiste parando pueblo por pueblo y no de paso. Gracias por traer la Ruta Lenca aquí! Vas a subir el resto en una serie para poder seguirla?

Causa, en mi pueblo hay unas letras gigantes igualitas y todos nos paramos ahí a la foto. Me da risa que en Otoro hagan lo mismo.

Fíjate que en la parada de Santa Rosa pusiste juntas dos cosas, el clima fresco y el café, y en el fondo son la misma. A esa altura el grano madura lento y de ahí sale lo que después se toma. Acá con la uva es al revés, uno anda rezando por calor toda la temporada. Las termas de noche sí que me dieron envidia.

Me llamó la atención que casi cada parada del recorrido tiene sus letras gigantes con el nombre del pueblo y un corazón: Otoro, Santa Rosa, Dulce Nombre. Todos eligieron decir lo mismo de la misma manera. El de Dulce Nombre se sale un poco, porque le pusieron una abeja encima y ahí ya te están contando de qué vive la gente.
