Estado de Chihuahua Travel Forum

Hello Friends,
I wish to travel on the EL Chepe train to Chihuahua,my main interest would be the waterfalls (Basaseachich and Piedra Volada Falls).
Can someone help me please,as I do not have any idea on how to get to the Piedra
Volada Falls, I will probably get off at Creel, how far is this place from Creel
And also how to get there?
Any tips would be more than apreciated.
Thanks again

How do I get from Monterrey to Chihuahua? I come from Greece and it's my first visit to Mexico. My plane lands in Monterrey and I have no idea how to get to Chihuahua ( the city I am going to live in). If you know anything concerning this matter please contact me!

what is the number of the hotel to reserve a room for friday may 16,2008

I'm flying to Chihuahua from Mexico (Aug 2008)and travelling by train until the coast. I'm planning to book 1-2 nights in Chihuahua..what about the other destinations? is it better to book or is it easy to find something without problems? Pls consider I cannot walk for long distances. thank you to everybody

Does anyone have a number to the central caminera or the address to it? I will be traveling south by bus, but someone is dropping me off and we don't know how to get there... The Hotel is roughly around Abraham Lincoln ave. right off the bridge. Also, i tried that web page for Omnibus de Mexico and it doesn't work for some reason. i'll try it again later. There is a list of selling posts or agencies, but I'm not sure that's where the bus central is... thanks

We are wanting to travel from Chihuahua by bus but unfortunately our date of travel is Sunday 23rd March, which is Easter Sunday. Would that be a problem, are buses likely to be operating? I realise Omnibus de Mexico do this trip, but the timetable for March is not on the website. Also for other months there are many options, does anyone know the easiest and most direct timings? If we have to stay a night in Chihuahua any suggestions of clean safe and not too expensive hotels.
Many thanks Margaret UK

Hi everyone

Just wondering if you have any tips on the following proposed journey

Day 1 - Fly from Merida to Mexico City then on to Chihuahua (seems you have to go via Mexico City to get to Chihuahua). We'd arrive around 10pm and would need to be at the train station at either 6am (1st class) or 7am (2nd class) the next morning to get the Chepe.

Does anyone know what hotel would be our best bet given such a late arrival and early start? I've searched in vain on the net for a map of Chihuahua city to get an idea of how far the airport, city hotels and train station are apart.

We then get the Chepe the next day, stop off in Divisadero for a while to look around (time is limited) then get train back to Creel that afternoon.

Third day to be spent in Creel, maybe get a guided trip around the area. Then we fly back to Mexico City on the fourth day.

We're not sure how practical some of this is but particularly the late arrival in Chihuahua and early start the following morning, and don't want to find ourselves lost late at night not knowing the area.

Thanks!

Hi Folks!
I live north of Juarez in southern New Mexico and usually drive to Puerto Penasco or San Carlos on vacation. We have been thinking about trying something different, perhaps driving to Los Mochis/Topolobambo through Cd. Chihuahua if it's not too difficult.
We have never seen that part of Mexico, Copper Canyon,etc., and would like to visit there and then spend a few days on the beach.
Can someone advise on the best roads to take,time/mileage etc?
Thanks!

Is there an ejecutivo bus from Ciudad Chihuahua to Guadalajara?

does an american need a passport to go to mexico

I wonder if anyone can help me decide how best to get to Phoenix, Arizona, after my CHEPE train ride ends in Chihuahua. Should I take the bus to Ciudad Juarez or Nogales? Any Mexican bus to Tucson or Phoenix besides Greyhound?

I'm trying for the most economical and safe way to get to Phoenix from Chihuahua.
Thanks.

Can you walk across the border? Is there a way to get around once you are over there. We will be in the Big Bend area in November and thought about swinging down to Presidio and checking out Ojinaga.

I'll be in Juarez for a few days in early March for a little vacation and to do some research for school. I've heard that the area around Ave. 16 de Septiembre east of the Palacio Municpial is one of the nicer parts of the city. I'm looking for an area that is kind of trendy, with sidewalk cafes, restuarants, and maybe a few drinking holes.

Any suggestions at all? Thank you,

We are heading from Ciudad Juarez to Leon and Guanajuato for Corona Rally Mexico, and are trying to get bus information. I've taken the bus from CJ to DF before (after missing the train... fun!), but I can't find a schedule anywhere on buses to Guanajuato from CJ. Estrella Blanca and Omnibus de Mexico appear to offer this route, but their website horarios/destinos pages are not functional, and I'm just not sure. CJ's Camionera Central doesn't seem to have a phone number...

Any suggestions? (Any tips on great restaurants/cafes/art-stuff in Gto or Leon would also be greatly appreciated, too)

Thank you!

Is the road between Creel and Botapilas paved or dirt? Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Is anyone familiar with Ojinaga, Chihuahua Mexico and have suggestions on good nightlife, restaurants, areas to avoid, etc...?

Thanks,

Marc

Howdy,

Has anyone been down federal Hwy. 16 from Ojinaga to Chihuahua? Is this a good road, and is there gasoline along the way? I will be travelling to Chihuahua by motorcycle, so I'll need gas about every 120 miles. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc

Hello!
Anyone know how much it costs and how long it takes to take the train from Batopilas to Creel? (The cheapest way possible? :o)

Hi,
We are leaving for the mainland of Mexico the end of this month -- with a small travel trailer. One of our destinations will be Creel and if possible, we would like to leave our trailer there and drive down to Batopilas.

Has anyone done this drive recently and if so, how was the road etc. ? Any advice will be appreciated.

Can anyone give me any information on Palomas? I plan on going there through Columbus, NM; but I can't find any information on banks, restaurants, shopping, or bus stations. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Has anyone travelled south from Cd. Juarez by bus? I am interested in recommendations for getting from C.J. down to Zacatecas or Guanajuato, breaking the trip into two or three days. Does anyone know how long it takes to get all the way to Zacatecas, or where would be a good place to break the trip in half overnight? I am also concerned to travel only during daylight, so if I am going to stop in a town, I want to be sure it has a bus leaving during the day! Thanks,

I know that JUne is not the peak tiem to dive in La Paz or the Sea of cortez...can anyone give me some infor based on personal experience as to what to expect (water temps, visibility, etc)?

I am interested in taking the trip from Chihuahua to Los Mochis in December.

Are there recommendations for hotels
Is there reliable travel agent who can help with arrangements in Mexico
What weather should be expected on the trip during December
What are the key sights to see
