additional driving instructions below. Please feel free to pick the
directions that you feel will get you to your destination...
From Phoenix
Take I-10 West out of Phoenix to State
Highway 85 South. Follow 85 through Gila Bend, Ajo and Why until you reach the
Mexican Border.
Just over the U.S./Mexican border is the
Mexican town of Sonoita. Stay to the right and there are signs which direct you
through town to Puerto Penasco. Just keep a lookout for them. They will place
you on Mexico Route 8 and an almost straight run to Puerto Penasco, commonly
known as Rocky Point. There are a few sharp turns though so stay alert &
preferably drive only during the daytime.
From Tucson
Valencia Road is the largest major
street in Tucson that then becomes State Highway 86 - heading West. You can also
use Ajo Way or I-19 (Ajo Exit) - both heading West. Once on Highway 86 continue
West through Sells and Quijotoa (these towns are on the Papago Indian
Reservation - Tohono O'Odham) to the town of Why. At Why turn left onto State
Highway 85 South. Follow Highway 85 South to Lukeville, Arizona at the Mexican
Border. For information on the border crossing, see our Customs information

Alternate route from Yuma into Mexico
onto Peñasco
If you're coming from the west and going
through Yuma anyway, you can also cut down from Yuma, cross the border, and take
another route which involves more driving in Mexico. From Yuma, take the 95
south through Somerton to San Luis at the border. Cross into Sonora, hit the 2
and go east until you hit the 8 in Sonoyta, and then continue down to Penasco on
the 8. This route takes you around the north tip of Pinacate and through some
other volcanic/mountain formations. See
this link for a rough overview.
