Ruinas Uxmal Travel Forum

I'm planning on driving from Palenque to Santa Elena, the map seems fairly straight forward in terms of taking route 186 to 261, its all the small unmarked roads that have me concerned. Same with all the small unmarked roads from Uxmal to route 180 D. My question is are these roads hard to navigate? Even though they are unmarked, according to the map there aren't very many roads so I figure it would be just a matter of turning on the road on my left or right if I'm following the map. If anyone has driven these roads from 261 to Uxmal, or the roads from Uxmal heading East to 180D, not via Merida, any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

We did some of your route - we left a motel near Uxmal and went via the unmarked roads to Celestun. It was a bit of an adventure. We were never 100% sure we were on the correct road.

At one point, our map said that our road crossed a highway, but when we reached the highway, it ended -- like a T. We had only two choices - right or left, so we went right for about three kilometres, then turned around and backtracked. About a kilo to the left, we found our road continuing on. The map we had never bothered to include the jog.

So as long as you leave some time for navigating, I'd go for it. I wouldn't try it at night though.
