Hotel Los Arcos in Banàmichi
 

Hotel Los Arcos is well know to motorcyclists traveling south of the border. We are mentioned in several ADV ride reports and have been written up in several publications including the BMW Riders News. ( Article here)

We are in the safe and tranquil colonial town of Banàmichi, 140 miles south of Bisbee AZ on the Sonora River Route. This is your gateway to Alamos, San Carlos and the rest of Mexico away from the 4 lane toll road.

Tom and Lynn are both avid motorcyclists and also own and operate Turkey Creek Motorcycle Tours. We live here full time, we know the roads and we know the area so call us if you have Mexico questions

Who knows, you might convince us to go riding with you.

Here is a nice complement from Ajinsan (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...810189&page=10)

"@Tom, Lynn : you have a very nice place in Banamichi and for us, as first timers in Mexico, it was exactly what we needed to get accustomed with the different world. Based on my experience there, I would recommend anyone who wants to try Mexico to give you a shout. And there are so many excellent roads for motorcycling around (as I hope we will see in the next post :P) "

Alex, thanks for the kind words.
