Mexico RV Road Map Travel Itineraries
Over 40 Free Mexico Highway itineraries. We hope that you enjoy traveling in Mexico and that these guides help you enjoy Mexico highways. We recommend in most
cases that you use the Mexican toll highways, although in some cases the secondary Mexican roads, while slower, often have better scenery and most local Mexico flavor. Driving
your RV or car in Mexico need not be dangerous or even stressful. When entering major cities, inquire what is the best route. Due to language barriers, purchase a map and ask for
directions to the highway on the far side of the city. Mexicans, like anyone, know the ring roads and bypasses needed to avoid the city centers. With map in hand, and the word "autopista" pronouced "auto-pee-STA",
some friendly Mexican will understand that you want highway directions. Most Mexican cities have excellect freeway systems.

Entering 'downtown' Troncones This area includes several small restaurants and several tiendas (convenience stores). Drive slowly, watching out for children and animals on the road. Also, watch out for the tope (speed bump) near the building supplies depot on the north side of the street.

Playa Tenacatita! Next up is the turn off to the villages of El Rebalsito and Tenacatita on a newly blacktopped road 6 miles to the northern tip of Bahia De Tenacatita. You can pick up snacks and drinks in El Rebalsito or just eat at one of the 10+ palapa restaurants on the beach at Tenacatita. This beach is protected to the West so the waves are ideal for beginner/intermediate boogie boarders. This is my personal favorite place to relax and ride the waves. Just as you enter Tenacatita stay to the right and head up over the hill to the best snorkeling in all of Tenacatita Bay at Playa Mora! This beach faces inward to the bay while on the other side of the isthmus is wild and wooley Playa la Boca, with ankle deep chocolate sand, for the strong at heart. There are two hotels on the beach to the East if you decide to overnight. Beware though, the bugs are deadly right at sunset due to a lagoon running parallel with the beach right behind the village. Definitely worth the jaunt off of Hwy. 200. Just do it!!

Ihuatzio Another impresive archeological site.

Hilly Section with Views The drive from Majahua to Hwy 200 is mostly treed (providing shade) and winding through hills. There are some nice views of the grazing and farming valleys through to the Pacific Ocean.

Playa La Manzanilla! Next stop is home away from home for me, the quaint fishing village of La Manzanilla, Mexico on the bottom of the horseshoe-shaped Bay of Tenacatita! Just 2 miles off the main highway, this working fishing ejido of 1500 locals also has a high tide, Caiman-filled lagoon adjacent to the village. Several mom & pop palapa roofed, sand floored restaurants dot the beach. The surf is mellow and the isolated beach stretches unabated to the north for 3+ miles to Boca de Iguana campground. There are a few budget hotels in town and several vacation, ocean view villas above the village. It's Real Mexico with nothing to do but, fish, swim, snorkel, beach hike, kayak, horeseback ride, boat, or just plain relax in this sleepy village that time has forgotten. I highly recommend spending several days here soaking up the sun and cultural ambiance of this sleepy village on the pristine Bay of Tenacatita!
