Best way to go trough mexico?

[garrobito]

I'm going to panama next year but I'm not sure about mexico.
I'm thinking come by Nogales and go down until guadalajara.
I don't want to pass or enter at DF (periferico restriction, too much traffic) and I want to head as fast as possible to guatemala border.
What is best way from guadalajara and not pass by DF?
Thanks you in advance!

I've just come down through Nogales, along Hwy 15 to as far south as it goes (forget the town), then all the way along the coast on Hwy 200 - very twisty, mountainous roads, but good fun. Not too much traffic. I crossed at Tecum Uman. Watch out for the ripoff "helpers" here, though!

Thanks you beemerbird! That's exactly kind of information I'm looking for!

Best regard

To rephrase Lonerider's question - do you have any map at all?
Why, if you really looking for the fastest route to the Guatemala border then on to Panama , are you even going into Guadalajara ?
Mex 15 from Nogales turns inland to Guadalajara just south of Tepic and the simple route to the GT border would be to just carry on along the coast on Mex 200, so avoiding all of the Bajio and any of the scenic mountain highways back down to the coast and to Mex 200 which you eventually will wind taking anyway. Why the big rush. Slow down, enjoy Mexico
