By Road and By Zih

These convoys/caravans are not formally organized. Just fit in with a group of vehicles heading down. Lots of highway construction around Patzquero right now with one way controlled traffic so groups of cars are automatic.
We were told by a local who makes the drive often to gas up at Patzquero and don’t stop anywhere on the way down - makes it difficult for banditos to scope you out.
The biggest hazard of the drive are vehicles passing vehicles. Double lines, blind curves or hills mean nothing on that highway. We have seen as many as four cars abreast trying to pass at once. You will get the gist of it pretty fast. Just stay alert.
