Begin Highway 200 - Petatlan, Guerrero to La Mira, Michoacan
Petatlan is the county (municipio) capital. It is noted for its gold jewelery market and Catholic church. Tourist information kiosks are at the north and south ends of town.
The first 20 km. of this drive go through rolling hills. The highway then becomes more flat.
Watch for topes (speed bumps) at every settlement. Some are well-marked while others are unmarked. Particularly difficult to see are the ones that are hidden by shadows.
Topes are favourite places for passing as the lead vehicle slows for the tope, vehicles in the rear overtake the lead vehicle. This is particularly true if the lead vehicle is a large truck or bus.

Legacy Highway Guides - pre-2009 Mex. Hwy 200 traverses through the tropical deciduous forests and mountains of the Nayarit State capital of Tepic, past the palm tree lined zocalos of the tourist mecca of Puerto Vallarta on the Bay of Banderas in Jalisco State, southward hugging the Pacific ocean on its way past farmland, thorn forests and sprawling savannas to the resort city of Manzanillo in the State of Colima. It serves as the gateway to the "Costa Alegre" (Happy Coast) of southwestern, coastal Mexico! (Page process time: 0.0022 seconds) |
