Mexico could be the reason so many North Americans own 4x4 sports utility vehicles. The surveyor uses an old mini-van so any car with reasonable ground clearance should be able to get to all the trailheads. The few exceptions to this rule are mentioned in the hike descriptions. RVs won't be able to get to many of them. Class A's are too big class B's don't have the ground clearance needed because of their undercarriage LPG tanks and class C's have too many water tanks slung underneath. Pickup campers are likely to have some problems because of their size but owners can unload them at RV parks if they have big jackstands and some 2x4 boards to support them. Of course trailers offer the same option. Unhindered pickups will be able to reach all the trailheads included in this website.

Car rentals are expensive in Mexico. Even so they can be cost-effective if you consider your daily living costs because you won't have to spend most of your day waiting for buses. These same considerations arise if you intend to visit some of the more remote archaeological zones.
