Driving to Gto from US

[Doyle Phillips]

Speaking personally--many will disagree--but i would stay away from Mexican highways as long as possible.


So you could drive from Phoenix to Laredo, TX all in the U.S. Michelin Route Planner says 18 hours.
Nuevo Laredo to Guanajuato Michelin says 13 hours and for your first time driving that might be accurate.

Nuevo Laredo to GTO: always use the many toll roads for speed and safety.
Phoenix-Laredo-Gto 31 hours total


Alternatively, Michelin says Phoenix to Guanajuato, almost all driving on Mexican roads: 30 hours total

Especially for your first driving trip into Mexico, take the 31 hours route. --dp
