It's an easy drive The road is good. It should take about 3 hours or less. Just go during the day for safety. Turn your headlights on or you could get pulled over and given an expensive ticket.

Daytime Only! You will probably be stopped at at least one military checkpoint.

This Spanish may help!

¡Me encanta su uniforme y sus ametralladora estan tan limpas!
I love your uniform and your machine guns are very clean!

BUT, if you hear "!Dispren ahora!" or "¡Arreste a los gringos!" I would let panic be my guide.

Seriously-good road, great scenery and a pretty colonial town. Have fun.
