San Juanico to SM Commundu to Loreto Roads

How are the roads from San Juanico to San Miguel Commundu to Loreto?
we are traveling in a smaller S U V with less clearance than a truck - I am told the road from Insurgentes to San Juanico is really good now but not sure about taking that back road into Loreto?

Thanks for any info

Here is the most recent report (that I know of).

I have not driven those roads for a year, but had no real problems then in a Kia Sportage with moderately oversize tires.

Edit; I have the older model Sportage. It is a 2dr, with rear wheel drive and a transfer case with low range. I don't know how the crossover type SUVs do.

North from Insurgentes to San Juanico only has a short couple of pot hole sections in the paving (at the ComondĂș junction and on the Las Barrancas road for a couple miles) last August.

The paved road into ComondĂș is good.

ComondĂș to San Javier and Loreto has a few miles of 4WD recommended grades up and down the mesa east of El Horno to Palo Chino, unless some major grading was done since last spring.

That's all paved highway, yes. Just some potholes in the two places I mentioned. Remember to turn left for Las Barrancas to access the new San Juanico highway.
