Bring bicycles on ferry from La Paz???


Does anyone know if it's possible to bring our bicycles on the ferry between La Paz and Topolobampo (Los Mochis)? And how much it costs? If it costs a fortune to bring it along we just won't head down that way... The web site for the ferry doesn't seem to work at all.

all that u need here


NOTE: The information below may be outdated. Please make sure you obtain the latest information from the ferry operators themselves.


Addresses and Phone Numbers

There is now a central reservations number in Mexico:

91-800-696-96

It is likely that only Spanish is spoken. Also, I believe the toll-free
nature of the "800" number applies only to calls from within Mexico.

Calls made from the US should be preceded by:

011-52

La Paz, BCS

Cargo Information

Most of the boats are loaded "in the front and out the back" (or the reverse). This makes it easy to load the larger vehicles. A few of the boats have a loading platform only at the back of the boat - this requires that vehicles be backed off the boat.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Docks

Santa Rosalia: The ferry dock is located in the city.

La Paz: The ferry docks are located at Pichilingue, about 10 miles north of the city.

Guaymas: The ferry docks are located just south of the city center.

Topolobampo: The ferry dock is located just west of the small town of Topolobampo. The major city nearby is Los Mochis.
