From Tucson/Nogales, Arizona
From Lukeville, Arizona
After crossing the border from Lukeville into Sonoyta, continue on route 2 until you
reach Caborca (it's about a 2-hour drive).This is a free trade zone, so no vehicle
permit is required, but if you plan to stay in Mexico longer than three days you'll need a
tourist form (commonly known as an FMT), which you can obtain at the 21km customs
station.
From Hermosillo, Sonora
If you happen to be coming from Hermosillo or southern Sonora, just take route 15
north to Santa Ana, and take a left turn at route 2 (shortly after passing the topes
(speed bumps) the road curves to the right - stay in the left lane and take your first
left). Route 2 will take you directly to Caborca, after passing a toll booth and the
pueblos of Altar and Pitiquito.
