In the 1950s, Marlon Brando and Hollywood came to these border towns and made a film titled VIVA ZAPATA!. At the time, the towns still used dirt roads, horses for transportation, etc. It wasn't unti, I believe, the late 70s when ROMA (one of the towns) got its streets paved.

rstrstx,
Yea, that's one town I never made it to...it's always a bit too far once you've traveled almost a whole day to get to Roma and Zapata. There's always one last town that time forgot the further out you go. Truly, I don't know what other town is so isolated as San Ygnacio.

These shots are fantastic. My favorite is the sunset view in the plain. And anything with palm trees makes any pic so much better.
