The
Sea of Cortez to the Wild Pacific
Highway 2 cuts across the US and Mexican border just north of the Sea of
Cortez and meets Highway 15 almost 250 kms south of Tucson Arizona. The
Highway 2
continues to jump along the border from joining the towns and cities
of Agua Prieta, Janos and Ciudad Juarez.

to the state of Chiapas just before the Guatemalan Border. Mexico's
Pacific Coast - On The Road In experiences towns and cities,
campgrounds, RV Parks and golf spots along the Pacific as Highway 15
and then Highway 200 snake their way southward.
Follow Highway 15 directly south from Santa Anna through Hermosillo and onward to
the twin coastal communities of San Carlos and Guaymas. From here the

Guadalajara.
