Answer 2

My suggestion is that you stop at El Fuerte, a beautiful colonial town one station away from Mochis. take the river boat tour, spend a night, after that you can take the bus ( train is too slow and is already away from the canyon) to Mochis get  into the ferry go to La Paz Baja California S, an old beach resort from the 50´s that have calm beautiful beaches, stay there a day and then, if you like, travel to Cabo 2 hr away from La Paz.

Answer 3

Mazatlan is only half as far as Puerto Vallarta.By air conditioned bus it is a little over 6 hours and about US$35.

It's a very pleasant and scenic ride.

You might also consider taking the ferry from Topolobampo (a suberb of Los Mochis) to LaPaz in Baja California Sur.La Paz has world class diving and snorkeling,nice beaches and a small, pleasant,friendly and inexpensive Mexican city.

**Getting a ticket on the ferry isn't always easy so try to make reservations as far in advance as possible.

Have a great trip!
