night. The thousands of candles light up the tombs
and the faces of the people as they sit by the graves.
This might sound grim to some but the luxury Tufesa
bus is a high tech rolling hotel made for sleeping.
Once darkness descends (7:00 PM) you can sleep
and the miles will speed by.

Mazatlan
From Tucson and Nogales farmland reaches all the
way south for 600 miles but at Mazatlan the
mountains below Durango start to pinch in and the
farms turn to citrus and tropical fruits.
At Mazatlan you cross the Tropic of Cancer and
enter the true tropics.
If you are making a slow trip you might want to see
some sights along the way
See "Alta Vista Ruin Site on the Tropic of Cancer"
To reach the ruin site; go to Zacatecas either from
Durango City or from Zacatecas City. Alta Vista is
near Sombrerete in the small town of
Chalchuhuites. It is a little-known site except for
those that follow the solstice and the Zenith days.
The site is located directly on the Tropic of Cancer.
Tip: Estimate the Miles and Time Between Stations
You can plan a long bus trip through Mexico with
rest or sightseeing stops by using the maps offered
by Guia Roji, a book of 42 maps that fits in the
daypack. It is important on a long bus trip to
estimate your miles between cities and bus
stations, more importantly, your time between
stops. Plan on doing 50 miles an hour and plan
your departure so that you arrive in your destination
terminal early in the morning so that you have
daylight to explore the city, beach, or ruin site.
An example is the trip from Tucson to Mazatlan; it
is 800 miles distant, which computes to a 16-hour
trip from Tucson. Therefore, if you leave Tucson
around noon or early afternoon, you will arrive in
Mazatlan at 5-6 am and you will have time and
daylight to explore the beaches.
Mountain travel will be much slower than 50 mph. A
trip from Oaxaca City to the Pacific Coast beaches
of Puerto Escondido or Zipolite for example will
cover only 125 miles but take 7-8 hours. You can
ask the ticket sellers at the station the trip duration
but they are not always informed.
If you do head inland to Durango from Mazatlan,
pick up some motion sickness medication. The
mountain road to Durango is as steep and twisting
as any you will ever see and bound to make you
queasy.
Bus travel is not always about saving Money: the
trip might actually cost more than air travel when
you consider the expense for hotels, food, and
sightseeing.
Bus travel in Mexico can be about comfort,
adventure, flexibility, and a boots on the ground tour
through the city, ruin site, or village.
You will be free to detour, stop, speed through, or
lounge for a few days. It is comfort and lack of
anxiety that many people like.
These tips might help you see more and see it
comfortably. Saving money (not likely) if it happens
at all, will be a plus
