Driving the defiant Guadalupe y Calvo Road

Road to Guadalupe y Calvo (Mexico 24) can be a challenging long drive from Parral Chihuahua to middle of nowhere, well actually Guadalupe y Calvo town, but the road actually continues to middle of nowhere, to a zone under construction down to Sinaloa sate at Badiguarato, home of the world's famous druglord El Chapo.

This area is well know for being dangerous area for drug plantations and frequent gun battles between the cartel and the mexican army. Near here it's the Triangulo Dorado war zone or Golden Triangle in English, tri-zone composed of three mexican states of Chihuahua, Durango and Sinaloa.
Despite being a dangerous zone talking about cartel activity, this road offers extremely beautiful environments, biomes, ponderosa pine trees, some canyons and rock formations, cliff dwellings and long windy road through the mountains of Sierra Madre, another dangers frequent in the area are common snowfalls in winter time (no snowblower), lack of maintenance, some rough segments with potholes and even sleepless drivers after long hours of driving this long segment.
