To help motorists on major highways, the Mexican
Tourism Ministry operates a fleet of more
than 275 pickup trucks, (13 in Sonora), known as the Angeles
Verdes, or Green Angels. Similar to the AAA in the U.S., these denizens of the desert patrol fixed sections of the major highway routes in Sonora twice daily. The bilingual drivers provide mechanical help, first aid, radio-telephone communication, basic supplies and small parts, towing, tourist information, and protection. Services are free, and spare parts, fuel, and lubricants are provided at cost. To reach the local Green Angels, call their toll-free hot line at tel. 01-800-903-9200. If you do need their service, we suggest a tip; these guys really do care and are definitely Angels. |
