Description
We took road no 23 from Ruiz to Durango and it was just spectacular! Canyons, beautiful mountains, nice views, pine forests, only some indigenous villages, no traffic. No Oxxos, no petrol between Ruiz and Mezquital (370 km), not even roadside taquerias, only nature and friendly people in colorful traditional clothes.
All road paved but some stretches with potholes. Occasionally landslides that may get pretty narrow (see picture). Be aware of loose animals (donkies, horses, cows).
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
One of the most beautiful roads in Mexico. But on a bicycle heading inland from Ruiz to Durango also one of the most strenuous! 300km took me 6 days!
