The Mule Pack Train
Darío Higuera Meza, a 70-year-old saddle maker in Baja California, traveled 200 miles in 20 days by muleback, herding a pack train of donkeys all the way to La Paz. Overcoming health issues, rattlesnakes, and hot days on dusty, forgotten trails, he and his family carried a load of goat cheese, dates, sugarcane candy, and wine. They made this journey to honor the memory of los arrieros de las recuas, the muleteers of Baja’s donkey pack trains.
