Mexico RV Caravan Tours

Note: We may add some optional additional beach time.

This is a 31 day tour crossing at Nogales, AZ and returning through Lukevile or Nogales, AZ. We will first head for San Carlos where we will take a tour of historic Guyamas, visit a Pearl Farm, then an aquarium to see a show the lawyers would never allow in the US.

We will then visit historic, Alamos and spend an evening wandering with minstrels around the back streets, accompanied by a donkey to carry our wine. Following that, we head to the nearby beach at Huatabampito.

Next we will head to the historic town of El Fuerte, the birthplace of the real Zorro, and the original capital of Arizona (Link). We will enjoy an entertaining dinner show, at the very impressive, historic Hotel Posada del Hildago. This hotel reputedly contains the original house of the  real Zorro. Do not miss exploring the hotel before you have your meal. By the way, if you notice a resemblance to our tour guide, Don Garcia de la Vega (nickname, Miguel), it is pure coincidence.  Some claim Zorro was a legend, but he was actually based upon a real character.

In the morning, we will catch the spectacular first class train. This is one of the worlds great train journeys. The first hour is a bit less interesting, so you have time to wear off your hangover from the Zorro festivities the previous evening before you enter the really scenic sections. We do feed you on the train, by the way. We are continually asked about taking your RV on the train. They ceased to do this several years ago, concerned about liability. You would ride in your RV on a flatdeck railcar. They worried about people tossing back the Margaritas, venturing out of their RV, and diving into the canyon. 

At Copper Canyon, we will spend 3 nights in Hotels. See the section after the pictures below for details. The new cable car is included and weather conditions permitting, the more adventurous can experience one of the 2 zip lines that cross the canyon. We had one 75 year old customer do that. Her bucket list.

Upon our return to El Fuerte, we will take an early morning nature trip up a river, for some bird watching and to view ancient petroglyphs. We will then return to the hotel Posado del Hildago for a fantastic brunch. Believe me, it's worth starving yourself during the river trip. Try and get by with a granola bar.  After brunch, we will visit a Mayo native village and a medicine man, sample some local cuisine and observe native dances, including the famous deer dance of the Mayo & Yaqui Indians.

Next we move on to Las Glorias, half way Mazatlan, for a relaxing beach stay. A couple of tours are included. Follwing that, a couple of nights stop at Celestino, another beach.

There are some nights of dry camping on this trip. Power is available in El Fuerte but at an extra cost of 150 pesos a night (imposed by the owner). It is not enough for Air, but you can use a generator for the nights you are there. It is enough to keep fridges running while you are gone to copper Canyon. There is a sani dump available. .
