Kuti ayendere mapanga a Cacahuamilpa, Landesio ndi mnzake adachita khama lomwe linapereka ntchito kuchokera ku likulu kupita ku Cuernavaca ndipo kuchokera kumeneko adapitabe pahatchi: "Tinadutsa pakhomo la San Antonio abad ndikulowera njira ya Tlalpan, tidadutsa kutsogolo kwa tawuni yaying'ono a Nativitas ndi a Hacienda de los Portales; Pambuyo pa mtsinje wa Churubusco, womwe tidapeza kuti wawuma, tidadutsa matauni a dzina ili. Kenako timasiya njira yolunjika, ndikulowera kumanzere, timadutsa kutsogolo kwa madera a San Antonio ndi Coapa. Kenako, tidakwera mlatho wotsika kwambiri, tidadutsa mtsinje wa Tlalpan, ndipo posakhalitsa tinafika ku Tepepan, komwe tidasintha mahatchi athu ndikudya chakudya cham'mawa ".
M'mapanga a Cacahuamilpa, maupangiriwo "adakwera uku ndi uko, m'mbali mwamakoma amakomawo ngati akangaude, akuthyola ndi kusungika pamakona, kuti atigulitse ife titachoka ... Zochepa zomwe ndayenda ndizosangalatsa, pokhala ma stalactites omwe amapachikidwa pazipindazo amapanga akangaude okongola amitundu yosiyanasiyana komanso yopanda tanthauzo; ena, akukweza makoma ndi zojambula zokongola, amapereka malingaliro a mitengo ikuluikulu ndi mizu, yomwe nthawi zina imakumana kuti apange thupi limodzi ndi stalagmites. M'gawo lina, ma stalagmite akulu amabwera kutsanzira nsanja, ndi mapiramidi ndi ma cones, onse opangidwa ndi mabulosi oyera; nsalu zina zomwe zimakweza pansi; kutsanzira mwa ena mitengo ikuluikulu ya mitengo ndi zitsamba; mwa ena, amatipatsa zitsanzo za zoyikapo nyali "
"Kenako mumafika ku Hall of the Dead, komwe dzina lake lidaperekedwa chifukwa mtembo wa munthu wamaliseche adapezeka pamenepo, ndi galu wake pafupi naye; ndipo akutsimikizira kuti atadya kale nkhwangwa zake zonse, adawotcha zovala zake kuti ziunikire ndikutuluka m'phangamo; koma sizinali zokwanira.

Nthawi zosiyanasiyana, sulfure yochokera ku chigwa cha Popocatépetl yakhala ikugwiritsidwa ntchito popanga utsi ndi zina zogwiritsa ntchito m'mafakitale. Pomwe Landesio anali komweko, ogula anzawo omwe tingawatche migodi anali abale a Corchados.

Pakukwera kwa okwera mapiri, sizinali zonse zamasewera. "Ndinaiwala kunena kuti: monga pafupifupi aliyense amene wakwera phirilo auza ndikutsimikizira kuti zakumwa zoledzeretsa kwambiri zitha kumwa pamenepo chimodzimodzi ndi madzi, motero tonse tidapatsidwa botolo la burande.
