Re: Mazatlan
I am with you Tequila it was a beautiful drive,we took the libre Jan 2 last year,the rosa morada trees were in full bloom on the hillsides all the way through,the road is good.There were a few robberies on the Mazatlan end,tourists coming from Mazatlan visiting a pueblo magico town on the other end. We did follow your directions to get on the libre but we did get lost in Culiacan for awhile,hopefully we will do better this year290Views0likes0CommentsRe: Crossing at nogales this morning
Glad to hear!Did you do your TIP on line,if so are there any changes there or is the same and received by fedex promptly?If not anyone else out there can comment on the TIP process? I have read that the FMM can also be done online,anyone know about that ? Thank you Heather177Views0likes0CommentsRe: Renting a place to stay instead of camping?
We drive our truck down,have bins filled with household goods we deem necessary to be comfortable in a Mexican bungalow.We stay at an old Mexican bungalow in Manzanillo @ 9800 pesos per month.There is a pool and nice garden area,block from the beach,walking distance to the little town,and bus out front.It is old and not fancy but suits us.Very few gringos come and go but with airbnb he has increased his gringo traffic,hoping price doesn't go up to much.There are other such places here. We then go to Lo De Marcos which is 45 minutes north of PV,there are many Mexican places to stay there for reasonable peso monthly rate. The couple next to us said they had always gone to PV but was finding it to expensive to be able to stay for the winter as did another couple when we were in Manzanillo.So depending on what you can afford and what you can live with but you need to come and look is what I think.This works for us.185Views0likes0CommentsRe: North to Sonoyta/Lukeville
Turning in Tip and Visa at Pitiquito,I just read this on the tomzap melaque forum "I like to return via Lukeville/Sonoyta. The road from Santa Ana is good. The Pitiquito office is about at KM 229. Hard to miss. Looks like a spaceship landed in the desert. There is a little booth around the back for the TIP. They can also do the visa there, just ask. It's a different office. At the border we've never seen a line longer than 6 cars. Five minute crossing. At Nogales we've waited hours." We are crossing March 15,going to try this,would be nice to do both in one place381Views0likes0Comments
