This is a very humbling place. I was angry and happy at the same time. Such courage, determination and will to fight for the right thing. Freedom AND equality - still a long road to take, and each of us can play a vital part to achieve, and each should, starting with me.
The surroundings of Death Railway are amazing. You can take the train which is 5x more expensive for foreigners than for locals or just hike around. You'll get through the villages and see rural life, everyday tasks and total simplicity. Beautiful nature and river.
I grew up right here by the monument and it is by far one of my favorite places! The top of montezumas pass is a beautiful place to sit and watch the sun set, because you can see for miles! Absolutely love this place!
Nicely preserved earthen fort. Really liked the river battery with the view up the river. Finished at the hotel in town where the surrender happened. Great historical place.
