Many destinations in Caborca are easily reached on foot or within driving distance. However, if
you'd prefer not to drive, there are other transportation options for getting around - taxis, and
the public transportation vans - "La Ruta."
Taxi Service
You can find a taxi stop in front of any place where people congregate, such as the bus station,
grocery stores, and the plaza. Taxi drivers are very courteous and professional, and although
you probably won't find one that speaks English, if you know the name of the location where
you're going that should be sufficient.
If you don't want to walk to a taxi stop, you can call for a taxi:
Taxis Sitio Central
Quiroz y Mora at Calle 3
(637) 372-3505
Taxis typically charge 20-30 pesos (around $1.80 - $2.70, depending on the currency
conversion rate) each way.

La Ruta
There are various routes that travel to different parts of Caborca, with the main plaza being the
start/end point for the routes. A ride on the ruta costs 8 pesos (about 75 cents).
If you have a specific destination, taking a taxi is probably your best bet. But, if you don't have
a specific destination in mind, would like to see different parts of Caborca and don't mind riding
in the back of a possibly cramped van (a popular local mode of transportation, they tend to be
filled with people) you might find that it's fun to take a ride and see the sights from the Ruta.
They all travel in circuitous routes, so you'll eventually end up at the same place where you
started. And, if you get off to walk around or visit a store, another will be coming along soon
(just don't ask for a transfer, you'll need to pay every time you ride).
Bus Service
The two main bus stations are on the Carretera Internacional (highway 2) - Davila's (adjacent to
the Motel Los Arcos and Bar La Cava), and across the street, Transportes Pacifico (TAP).
There is a direct bus to Nogales that leaves every day at 5:30 a.m. from Davila's.
There's also an Albratros bus station on 8th street, a couple blocks north of the carretera.
