Driving from LP to Loreto this week. Does anyone have a recent road condition? How much time should I allow?

Allow about 4.5 to 5 hours depending on the speed you choose to drive and how backed up the military checkpoints are.

4 hours at 60 to 65mph. No checkpoints. Watch coming through Constitucion. Make sure you stop at every stop sign and watch for ones you wouldn't
expect.willyAirstream - 10-16-2011 at 05:55 AM
2 days ago - roads are fine with no major construction. The usual cows and burros.tiotomasbcs - 10-16-2011 at 01:57 PM
Same as above but last week I encountered some heavy Fog! Especially thick in Insurgentes. New road finished down the Escarpment and into Puerto
Escondido!! Smooth. Just watch your speed. TioSparetimewanted - 10-16-2011 at 08:54 PM
Muchas gracias for the report! Can't wait to get down there.Sparetimewanted - 10-30-2011 at 07:25 PM
As reported, road conditions were great. No checkpoint stops either, and no hassles in Constitucion. Road to Lopez Mateos is in horrible shape but
they are working on it. Also took a side trip to Agua Verde. 20 mile dirt road. Gnarly at times. Was glad I was in a rental with high ground
clearance. Beautiful scenery.David K - 10-31-2011 at 09:29 AM
Photos would be awesome!Phil S - 11-1-2011 at 07:05 AM
If you haven't been to Aque Verde yet, and have screamed by that junction. You have missed the opportunity of a lifetime to experience something
unbelievable. The views are worth the trip to the beach. I still rememberr our first trip "in". And the first view of the coastline & valley.
It's breath taking.
And there is a little restaurant down in the village. The food was good. And they could use our business!! They don't get many visitors. Brother
sold his used travel trailer to a fellow from Point Reyes Cal. I think it was. He had a dog he would talk to in french. Quite a character. forget
his name. He usually was bare ass naked when we'd drive up to his lot. Alas. He is now gone back to the states. Was losing his eye sight.

The view from the Agua Verde Road, before dropping 1,000 feet to the coast.

Anyone know if there is any food and some sort of lodgin in agua verde?Sparetimewanted - 11-22-2011 at 10:03 PM
No lodging other than camping on the beach. There was a very small store. The drive was exhilerating! Spectacular views. Wouldn't want to do it
during a rain shower. But i recommend it if you have extra time.varon - 11-23-2011 at 03:26 PM
You can also arrange for meals at Rancho San Cosme at the bottom of the grade where the road runs parallel to the sea.BajaBlanca - 11-23-2011 at 07:50 PM
sounds like such an exquisite place to go to .... it is the camping thing that gets me .... I am so over camping ..... I think ...
