Every trip is a different experience. When choosing a vacation destination, there are several things to consider to make sure the experience is as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
From the kind of clothes to pack, depending on the weather, to the itinerary you'll follow based on the attractions available. Choosing the right vehicle is no exception. Spending your vacation in a city, full of highways and paved streets, is very different from heading to the countryside, where you can't always predict the type or condition of the roads.
Key features of a good mountain vehicle
When traveling to mountain areas, it's best to choose the right vehicle so nothing delays or interrupts your vacation. Look for a vehicle with a powerful engine, strong enough to handle the climbs, since gravity slows you down on the way up.
The heavier the load or the steeper the grade, the more you'll need low gears (1st and 2nd) to make it up. Mountain vehicles should also have an excellent braking system, such as anti-lock brakes (ABS), because steep downhill grades make you pick up speed. That calls for skill in choosing the right gear, a great braking system and good braking technique.
Ground clearance is another factor to keep in mind when choosing a mountain vehicle. A taller vehicle is preferable, since it offers more stability and better visibility of the road, and handles dirt roads, muddy stretches, uneven terrain and other unexpected road conditions much better.
That's why it's also important to choose a vehicle with four-wheel drive (4×4). It gives the driver more control on mountainous or slippery terrain and distributes the vehicle's power more effectively.
Finally, space is also important when choosing a mountain vehicle. These trips usually call for more luggage and special gear to protect you from rain and cold, so you'll often need extra room.
Thanks to its geography, Mexico offers beautiful mountain destinations, some even close to the ocean, and some, like Sierra Lago, can be reached in any type of vehicle, from a compact family car to a powerful 4×4. We look forward to welcoming you!
Plan your getaway to Sierra Lago
Before you hit the road, check out how to get to Sierra Lago, about 2 hours from Puerto Vallarta and 2.5 hours from Guadalajara, and look up the weather in Mascota so you pack the right gear. Once you arrive, park the car and enjoy the forest and lake from your luxury cabin.
