Z DF to Z Drive!

Thank you again. That is the advice I needed. Taxco to the coast and up to Zihua it is!

Truth be told, tens of thousands of folks live in that part of the state and travel to and fro daily without any incidents, but I hesitate to recommend the region as a scenic drive for foreigners who may not quite blend in or speak fluent Spanish. The area between Taxco and Coyuca de Catalán is mostly Tierra Caliente, a beautiful but often rugged region, and though there are some foreigners working in several mining operations throughout the region they are still a novelty and sometimes, like anyone who appears slightly prosperous, they appear like easy targets for bums who make a living from the fruits of other people's labors. Though the great majority of the region's residents will go out of their way to be helpful and polite to visitors.

We have a new more professional police force operating throughout the state, but they are still finding their footing and learning the territory. I'm hopeful that soon I will be able to wholeheartedly recommend the scenic backroads of Guerrero, that is if the government will also keep them properly maintained, another huge problem in our state.
