Bus Tufesa, ADO, Tica: Salt Lake City To Panama City
If you want to see many of the parks, cities,
beaches, and ruin sites along the way, bus
service is ideal.  
The following series of articles will detail the
long haul, first class bus service that makes a
luxury run through the US, Mexico, and
Central
America possible.

Tufesa buses leave from 16 locations in
California and four in Arizona as well as Salt
Lake City and Las Vegas.  They make the
border crossing and reach south to
Guadalajara with
many stops along the
Pacific coast.  Once in Mexico you will find
that Mexico's Bus systems are a great way to
see the country. They use dozens of hub cities
to reach even the most distant ruin Site and
colonial city for about 1.5-2 peso per mile. (.
10-15 cents USD) The roads are a
combination of modern high-speed toll roads
(quota) and secondary roads.

Mexico second class bus lines are based in
every city.  They use secondary roads.  The
first class buses avoid the steep mountain
roads wherever possible; the mountains are
so steep that people get motion sickness on
the twisting mountain roads

Mexico's first Class buses have plush seat for
sleeping, leg rests, air conditioning, (bring a
sweater) lavatories, seat belts, deeply
reclining seats, and video movies. (Bring ear
plugs for the back to back Cantinflas
retrospectives.)

Mexico first class bus travel will reveal one of
the best bus systems in the world.  Mexico’s
long-haul Flecha Amarilla, ADO, OCC,  
Chihuahuenses, Tap, Omnibus, and other
lines reach all of Mexico in luxury.  Several
bus line cross the border.  Tufesa is one that
serves Utah,
Las Vegas, Nevada, and
California with cross border buses.

You can take a Tufesa bus from
Tucson
Arizona to Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Tufesa buses run from Salt Lake City,
Utah to Guadalajara, Mexico. They come in
from Phoenix several times a day.  The buses
come in three a day and leave for Nogales
and cross the border bound for Guadalajara.

For those interested in touring all the way to
Central America by bus, you could go from
Guadalajara on a Primera Plus bus to Mexico
City’s Terminal Norte, and then an ADO bus
to
Tapachula, Chiapas and then a Tica
Bus to Panama City, Panama.
