El Fuerte Getting there & around

Getting there & around

The roads in and out of El Fuerte have seen their share of roadwork in recent years, so if you’re driving, the approach from all directions is paved and safe with the exception of the small road from Álamos – you still need a 4WD from there.

Buses to Los Mochis (M$55, two hours) depart every half-hour between 5am and 7pm from the corner of Juárez and 16 de Septiembre.

The train station is a few kilometers east of town. The departure time for the eastbound primera express is 8:30am, though it never arrives before 9am, with the clase económica trailing about an hour and a half to two hours behind. You can take a taxi to the station for about M$100.
