Punta
Prieta is actually the town a few miles past the
Parador/turnoff, but it is marked this way on many maps.
As noted in the topmost photo, there are parts
of this stretch where the road has steep dropoffs and
it's easy to wander a bit too far and catch that edge;
please use caution. Those towing trailers should
be especially careful. There is no Pemex station
at the turnoff, but as in Cataviña,
gas is sold by private vendors from the backs of pickup
trucks. There are two Pemex stations once you
reach Bahia which is approx. 44 miles from the turnoff. |
