Mexico Highway Maps, Driving from Nogales to Uruapan
HI, MY SELF AND MY FAMILY ARE TRAVELING TO MEXICO IN A FEW WEEKS. WE ARE ENTERING THROUGH NOGALES AND TRAVELING TO URUAPAN, MICHOACAN. I HAVE BEEN TRYING (UNSUCCESFULLY) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO FIND A MAP OF MEXICO THAT HAS THE NEW HIGHWAYS (CUOTAS?) SHOWN. I KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE THAT THE SMALLER HIGHWAYS ARE JUST TO NERVE WRECKING. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WHERE THAT I COULD GET MY HANDS ON THIS TYPE OF MAP. DOES THE GOVERNMENT EVEN PRODUCE ONE? I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

We will be driving (yes, my brother insists upon driving instead of riding the bus) from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara next week, and return. It would be nice to take the fastest route in one direction and the most interesting or scenic route in the other direction. Would someone please give me the directions, and anything else you'd tell us? read more

We will be traveling from Louisiana to Puerta Vallarta next week and are unable to find a good road map. Can anyone give us a good route? We are pretty much open to suggestions even as to location of border crossings. Any help that can be offered will be much appreciated.

Headin' South: Cuernavaca to Oaxaca
January 22nd … Adios Cuernavaca…Hola Oaxaca. Not sure how long it would take us to get to Oaxaca, we took off about 7 AM north out of Cuernavaca on Hwy 95D towards Mexico City and shortly thereafter turned south on Hwy 115D (which became 160 at Cuatla) towards Cuatla and Izucar de Matamoros. Although it looked longer on the map than continuing south from Izucar, the plan was to get as soon as possible to the Autopista for Puebla and then go south to Oaxaca on toll roads all the way. Although expensive, toll roads are the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

January 21st….After getting a couple more hours of cardio-vascular workout hiking the streets of Taxco this A.M. trying to find just the right silver trinket as a gift for my son's novia we took off for Cuernavaca about noon. No rush, as it is only about forty miles from Taxco to Cuernavaca using the Acapulco to Mexico DF toll road, Highway 95. Arriving before 1pm, poorer by $71 pesos for the three tolls charged on even this short stretch of road, we got off the Cuota and cruised Cuernavaca from south to north on the old free highway 95 looking for a hotel.
