travel time
I should know the answer but I never pay attention.
Travel time from the SY border to San Ignacio? I'm pulling a small boat.
Also where is a good cheap place to stay in Ignacio?
Thanks
Derek

You have it backwards, to get to San Ignacio you time travel.

Without boat I make it around 9 hours. Food/ drink in the car, bano at the gas stations. Figure 10 hours or so. I've stayed a few times at the Rice
and Beans when I get in late. Think it was like $40 or so. Ask for one of the newer rooms next to the restaurant.

hi Derek - we think you should do it in 2 days ... I imagine it would take you 12 hours with a boat !!! minimum .....
Rice and beans is good and the restaurant is reasonable.
have a great trip !!!

I remember us time traveling all together, on time, in time to see St. Ignacio in the all together.  The Emperor, altogether defrocked, standing in the all together in San Ignacio Plaza was shocked as he witnessed the
formation of The Jesuit Order.
Some said, as he climbed atop a building there, sin ropa, that "he was on a Mission". 
The history books say that was a long time ago, but it seems like only yesterday.

Adding a towed boat will add a couple hours to play it safe... at least 12 hours for the 533 mile drive from the border... with stops for fuel,
military inspection, etc.

The trip can take quite a bit longer with a boat, more stops.

especially when you get thrown into jail for trolling for jail-bait.
I recall a 70 old man from Arlington, WA that spent months in the slammer for photographs of young girls...that his son took!

if you are looking for real cheap in San Ignacio...we always stay at La Posada for 300 pesos...2 beds, hot water, not fancy but just fine and very
quiet as it is in the back of town...go straight past the Mission and turn left at the first street and go a couple blocks...hotel is on the right
side and the owner shows up when you pull in...it used to have internet too so ask about that if ya want it.
Also, the taco stand at the entrance to the square is excellent in the evenings...have a safe trip amigo.

Ditto: La Posada. It's cheap, clean and it has hot water. There is a place off of the square that has cheap rooms with no hot water, I've never
stayed there though.

we have stayed at La Posada towing our Whaler...the parking lot is small but people are accomodating...another option is Hotel Olivia across from the
Pemex in Vizcaino...gets ya a bit further down the road...huge parking lot and cheap, really nice rooms.

How wide is the boat, on the trailer at the widest? Remember that this is a very narrow road...if it is a wide load it will be a slow, scary
drive...but doable...just bring a spare set of underwear
