Here's some ABC info to get you started. Good luck.

I'll stop by the bus station later today and ask schedule and price.

What war, Dennis?

The Arizona threads that were piled up all around Estrella's question at the time. They're slowly drifting off.

Thanks, Dennis.

Here ya' go, Estrella...

Loreto to Mulege:
$182 Pesos one-way

12 noon
2 pm
3 pm
7 pm
10 pm
Should take about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

However, the bus often stops at the Pemex station just south of town for a good half-hour for a food break (good food at Cafe La Professora, btw, love the mango sauce!). Anyway, you can call someone to come and get you there or wait and go another 5 miles where the bus will stop at the front entrance to Mulege at The Governor's Golden Arches (you'll see).

There's a couple of hotels and casa huespedes within walking of the bus station.


Mulege to Loreto:
Same price, $182 Pesos one-way.

8 am
9 am
11 am
1:25 pm
4:25 pm
9 pm
11 pm

Just so you know the buses run approximately on time, which means they routinely run about a half-hour late (recommend you be on time).

Have a sweater with you-- the buses of Baja are always cold!

Thank you very much Mulegena. Sure is nice when people help each other out.

Don't know how old you are, but with an INAPAM (formerly INSEN) card, there's a 50% reduction in bus fares.

Mulegena - 4-29-2010 at 07:49 PM

You're absolutely welcome, Estrella. Algo mas?

INAPAM... I'd forgotton about that. Could you tell us how to get one? I know there's been a thread or two, but... ?

However, the very only time I ever traveled by bus, was from La Paz to Loreto and they refused to honor the Insen card.:no:
This was quite a few years ago though.
And heard the same for ferry travel.:?:

you can get an INAPAM card at the DIF office in Loreto, but the last time I checked (fall 2009), you could only get it two months a year, December and January.
you need three passport size photographs, your FM2/3, your passport, proof of residence such as electricity or water bill or lease.
