Question: #9: Which is the best route to Guadalajara, Jalisco (Mexico) from Southern California?
I'm planning a trip to Guadalajara and I have two route options. I can cross into Mexico at the Nogales, Arizona border crossing . My other option will be to cross at the El Paso, Texas entry point. If I cross at the El Paso/Cd Juarez entry I will add 3 hours to my trip. I know this is a no brainer and I would just take the shorter route. My wife and two children will be traveling with us. The problem is my wife insists we take the longer route because it's safer and the roads are better maintained. I told her this is nonsence since she hasn't been to Mexico in years. Can anybody guide me in the right direction and give me the facts about crime and road condtions on both routes.
