Fastest way to drive from Zihuatanejo to Mazatlan
Holy Mole is right. It can be done in a day, but it's brutal, and what's the point? We are on vacation!
We go up the mountain to Patzcuaro and spend a night because we like it. Then to Tepic, for the same reason. Then a very short jump to Mazatlan.
We've done Zihuatanejo to Guadalajara, them to Maz, and that works too, but we like Patzcuaro and Tepic.
Obviously run the toll roads, including the new one near Patzcuaro that skips Morelia completely. Should save at least an hour, and some wear and tear.
Just remember, when you get tired, you make mistakes and don't enjoy yourselves.
