Parras Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Only 2nd-class buses serve Parras, but most have 1st-class comfort. There are nine daily to and from Saltillo (M$85, 2½ hours) and five daily to and from Torreón (M$105, three hours). If you want to head to Cuatro Ciénegas without backtracking to Saltillo, you can catch a bus to San Pedro Las Colonias (M$75, 1½ hours, four daily) and then a bus from there to Cuatro Ciénegas (M$119, two hours, nine daily). Parras is easy to reach by car; turn off the highway at La Paila and drive 27km south.
