Give yourself 90 minutes. Las Planes is faster, but the last time through, the road was pretty bad.

Beautiful drive. Remember check out local fruit stands and restaurants. Drive careful thru the windy road sections. Have fun. Tomas;)

Suppose it depends on what you consider "La Paz". The outskirts seem to go on forever.

stop in el triumfo and visit the café - if you are lucky they will have some of their homemade pastries!




Come visit La Bocana

If you stay on HW 1 it will take at least 11/2 hours, but it's a pretty drive.
If you take the Los Planes way you bypass a lot of winding road.
Been a few years, so I have no idea of road conditions.




I think my photographic memory ran out of film

Pitahayas (pitayas) (ripe in the Fall) are sold along the highway, near EL TRIUNFO. These are worth a taste. Mangos are the main produce in SAN BARTOLO, along the way to LOS BARRILES.

EL TRIUNFO and SAN ANTONIO were once big silver producing sites, lots of history!
