Car rental in Culiacán

Drive on the right, old chap!

Remember, unlike in the UK, Mexico drives on the right side of the road. Roundabouts? Easy, vehicles inside have right of way. Seatbelts are mandatory, headlights must be on in the twilight hours. Be alert, road signs are in Spanish and KM/hr.

Parking in Culiacán

Street parking is possible but do keep an eye out for 'E'-marked spots (Exclusivo) - they're off-limits! There are several multi-storey car parks within the city - quite convenient.

Attractions

• Jardín Botánico: Refresh your senses in the botanical garden, home to various local species.
• Plazuela Álvaro Obregón: Take a stroll around this charming square with its central kiosk, plenty of shops, and places to have a bite.
• Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary: Marvel at this stunning architectural gem.

Driving Routes

Start your road trip by exploring Culiacán's city centre and then head towards the outskirts to enjoy the scenic landscapes. Don't miss the coastal route to Mazatlán - it promises stunning sea views along the way.

Hospitality of the locals

Culiacán locals are widely known for their hospitality. Although Spanish predominates, many people speak English, making communication relatively straightforward for holiday enthusiasts from the UK.

Weather

Culiacán, situated in the tropics, boasts a warm climate year-round. Don't forget to pack your sunhat, sunglasses, and suncream!

For a taste of the local

When it comes to tantalising your taste buds, Culiacán's seafood is a must-try. Don't miss out on “ceviche," a popular local dish made with fresh, raw fish cured in lime juice and spiced with chilli peppers.
