Mexico's First Cross-County Hiking Trail

I love walking in the fresh open air. One day I want to go hiking in Mexico! Last month, Mexico opened their first cross-county hiking trail. 有一天，我想要去墨西哥，因為上個月，他們開放了第一條越野步道。 The trail has many things to see. It starts in Merida. That's a hot city. The walk goes on for more than one hundred kilometers! 步道的起點在梅里達，全程要走超過一百多公里！ The trail then goes into the jungle. The forest there is wet, and there are huge plants all around. They have some beautiful birds. I've heard they have toucan birds! Their faces are red, yellow, and green. So colorful! 從步道進入叢林以後，裡面濕搭搭，還有很多大型植物跟鳥兒。我聽說還可以看到多彩的大嘴鳥！ The trail goes past many small towns, where local people live. These people are called the Mayan people. 這條步道經過許多小村莊，村民是馬雅人。 They welcome the new trail, because it brings tourists like me! Not just hikers, but cyclists too! 村民很喜歡這個步道，因為它帶來很多健行的旅客，以及騎腳踏車的人！ They also have restaurants to serve their traditional food. Mmmm! I bet it tastes good! 村裡還有賣傳統美食的餐廳。 Mexico's new hiking trail takes five days to finish, so I'll need to train hard! 因為全程走完要花五天，所以我要認真練習了！ That's a long hike! ________________________________ Vocabulary 墨西哥這條步道有夠長，還有豐富的景觀。 1. hike 走步道，健行 Let's go hiking this weekend. 我們這周末去走步道吧。 Hiking?
