Day 38: The Historic Beauty of Morelia

After breakfast on our first morning, we stayed in our room to do some work. We have been doing that quite a lot recently, since we both had quit our full-time salaried jobs before hitting the road and would like to dip into our savings as little as possible. That’s why we have come up […]

Day 37: Guadalajara to Morelia

We had a later departure than usual from Guadalajara since we didn’t have a very long road ahead of us for the day. After breakfast at Starbucks and a three-hour ride, we arrived in Morelia.   We stayed at the Hotel Casa José María, which set us back 650 pesos (~45 CAD). The hotel was clean, […]

Days 33 & 34: Aguascalientes to Guadalajara

After a short 2.5-hour ride from Aguascalientes, we arrived in Guadalajara in the early afternoon. We stayed at the Expo Inn, which cost us 530 pesos (~37 CAD) for what was one of the cleanest rooms we have had so far. The room had all the amenities we could hope for, WiFi that was good […]

Day 32: Durango to Aguascalientes

After two days in Durango, we headed towards Aguascalientes on Thursday morning. The ride was a bit longer than usual at 4.5 hours and our arrival into the city was a rainy one. We stayed at the Hotel Real Plaza, which cost us 720 pesos (~50 CAD) for a room on the 10th floor. Another […]

Days 30 & 31: Hidalgo del Parral to Durango

Our ride from Hidalgo del Parral to Durango was close to five hours long. We left in the morning at our usual time, had a quick lunch break in the middle, and then arrived at our destination in the afternoon. We stayed at a Best Western PLUS again, but much cheaper than Creel at 840 […]

Day 29: Guachochi to Hidalgo del Parral

We left Guachochi a bit earlier than our usual 9:30 AM because the bike being parked right outside our room made loading everything a total breeze. We stopped at an Oxxo for a quick breakfast and then were on our way to Hidalgo del Parral – our first city since Hermosillo.   The trip was […]

Day 28: Creel to Guachochi

We left Creel after breakfast on Sunday morning and rode for about four hours before we got to Guachochi. The day was beautiful – sunny without being too hot – so the ride was pleasant. The place itself reminded us quite a bit of Yécora upon initial impression, but somehow a bit better. I guess […]

Day 27: Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon)

We left for the Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon) after breakfast and arrived at the location in about an hour. We paid 20 pesos (~1.45 CAD) per person for the initial entry and then took a dirt road to where we could ride the gondola. There was some rain along the way so, unsurprisingly, the road […]

Day 26: Exploring Creel

We had planned to visit the Copper Canyon on our first morning in Creel; however, after seeing rain in the forecast, we decided to post-pone the trip to the following day. Instead, after breakfast, we decided to explore Creel since it seemed like a charming little town. Perhaps this is due to the fact that […]
