Well that's an interesting question.....we rode Albatross bus at 12:30 am Monday to Hermosillo. We got there at 7:00, had breakfast and waited around for a while. Our airplane lifted off at at 11:30 and flew to Mexico City, lay over for 45 whole minutes and took off from DF and landed in Los Mochis at 6:30. Stayed the night in Los Mochis and the rest of my group caught up with us on Tuesday morning and we bused to El Fuerte, then we did the canyon for 4 nights and then went to the Mennonite community in Chihuahua and onto Chihuahua city stayed the night then next day flew to Hermosillo for another 6 hour bus ride home. I will have to calculate the miles but the travel day on each end were a grueling 18 hours or so.....It was worth it totally, so much so we already have a group developing for April 2015.
