How to get there

Culiacán is a city where tradition and modernity come together. From its historic center, rich in culture, to its modern entertainment venues, you’ll find places that invite you to explore, enjoy, and be surprised.

Main roads to Culiacán

From the south (Mazatlán, Guadalajara, CDMX, etc.)

Mexico-Nogales Highway (Federal Highway 15D)

This is the most important highway on the Mexican Pacific coast.
It connects México City, Tepic, Mazatlán, Culiacán, Hermosillo, and Nogales (Sonora).
If you’re coming from the central or southern parts of the country, you’ll enter Culiacán via this highway. Free option: Federal Highway 15 (no toll).

From the north (Hermosillo, Nogales, U.S. border).

Federal Highway 15D southbound.

Take the direct route through Sonora: Los Mochis Guamúchil→ Culiacán.

From the east (Durango, Torreón, Zacatecas, Mexico City via the highlands)

Take the Durango-Mazatlán Highway (40D)

It crosses the Sierra Madre Occidental (including the famous Baluarte Bridge).

It connects with Federal 15D and from there, head north to Culiacán

From Chihuahua and the northern highlands

Possible routes:

Chihuahua-Los Mochis Highway (Federal Highway 24, which still has some challenging mountainous sections).

Then take Route 15D south toward Culiacán. Another longer but safer option: go down to Durango → Mazatlán → Culiacán.
