Parral to Campech Best route?

[brianb]

Does anyone know the fastest route from Parral or Durango to Campeche. I have to get to the Yucatan. I would prefer not to go thru Mexico City but am open to suggestions. Is there a good direct road alone the gulf coast and where cn I pick it up?

From Parral, go to Jimenez
Then to Torreon-Gomez Palacio-Cd Lerdo (same place)
Then to Cuencamé
By Road 49 straight to Zacatecas
Then San Luis Potosi
Queretaro
Go around Mexico city Thru Texcoco
Then Puebla and Orizaba
Minatitlan
Villahermosa, etc.

If you do not have a good map try (in a major city) the Guía Roji Mexican Atlas de Carreteras, it is the choice.
You can get it in any Sanborn´s restaurant, Gigante Stores and in some drugstores like the Farmacia Guadalajara.

Toll roads are the fastest and straighter but cost.

Try to get info when you get close to Veracruz state cause the rains have done damage to roads and some bridges, I guess by the time you are there they will be fixed, but better ask.

Have fun, good trip.
