Native Fish Study: Aros and Tutuaca Rivers
This year we will be sampling the lower Tutuaca and Upper
Aros to the Northern Jaguar Projects' (NJP) Rancho Los Pavos
Click on the Jaguar to
access the NJP's website and click on the Tutuaca's Yaqui Trout to access A
project summary from the first sampling.
Directions to the TMS: Yepachi, Chihuahua
We are located in the middle of nowhere
so we have made a map and have a couple of travel tips that will help you
find us and make your trip here more enjoyable. From Basaseachi, Chihuahua
(Hwy 16) continue to Yepachi. From Yepachi-take the dirt road on the West
side of town that heads N (cross the Yepachi River) for 4.5 miles. Here take the
Rt fork (the road-less-traveled) for 9.5 more miles. Plan on 1.5 hours for
this journey. We recommend staying with Lucy in the hotel in Yepachi if
you arrive in town late. Beware-Yepachi has no sign--it is a small town 45
minutes W of Basaseachi and 50 minutes E of Maycoba, Sonora.
