What is the best way to travel from Albuquerque, New Mexico to La Paz, Mexico?
At  first I wanted to drive down to San Diego and then down the Baja  peninsula to La Paz.  Then, a friend of mine mentioned that a better and  shorter way is to drive to Mazatlan and then to take a ferryboat across  to La Paz.  In checking out the Atlas I can see that Mazatlan is quite a  bit south of La Paz and that the ferry boat would be backtracking.  Do  you have some other suggestions for best routes from Albuquerque to La  Paz?

Answer 1 :
Yes  .... the ferry to take leaves from Topolombanpo near Los Mochis and  only takes about 9 hours.  The ferry from Mazatlan takes 18 hours.  The problem with taking the ferry is you need to register your car for  mainland Mexico (money, time and paperwork) and the ferry costs about  $100us for car plus a passenger fare of about $60
