Took 9 hrs on return today from La Manzanilla, a little longer then anticipated.The only real issue was the non existant signage for Hwy 200 on the return through Manzanillo and Tecopan. Very little traffic except for the odd Road Warriers who think the center line is for them to drive along the line. The last time was 15 years ago with a 30 foot RV and I dont think much has changed except the new cuota road from Armeria to Manzanillo. Surprized how much cooler up there than here in Zihua

What, exactly, is the “state up north?”

Obviously, the problems in Sinaloa.

To the poster who described the coast road up to Manzanillo as "a little windy".....that's an understatement. We've done it, both ways, a number of times, both since it was paved a couple of years ago, and the pot-holed old road. It's certainly worth it for the scenery along the Michoacan coast, and if Manzanillo is the destination, going any other way from Zihua, except along the coast, is much longer.

We would like to spend a day or two in Manzanillo, would you mind updating after your drive on Monday. The current state up north prompted me to ask here.

Drove Zihua to Manzanillo last week on 200 and no problems. Going to go back to Zihua on Monday and hope the latest issue up north doesnt present any issues. The road may be a little windy and slow in places but the rods good shape

if you have nerves of steel, Guadalajara is an interesting place to creep thru in a vehicle.

Friends did it last month. Take the toll roads, they are in quite good shape. Be sure to take all the bypass roads. If you do, you won't even see Morelia or Guadalajara. It's a gift.

I was hoping to get some insight if anyone has driven from Zihuatanejo to Puerto Vallarta recently. A stop over in Manzanillo is our preferred route. I'm hoping to get some insight on road conditions as well as safety of the drive Hoping to make the drive this month. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
