It’s an easy
drive from these US/Mexico border towns to Mata Ortiz (all
paved and pretty much all highway).
Distances to Mata Ortiz from the border:
Columbus, NM/Puerto Palomas, Chihuahua: 135 miles
Douglas, AZ/Agua Prieta, Sonora: 252 miles
El Paso, TX/Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua: 192 miles
I prefer the Columbus, NM route because you stay in the US
for a longer period of time (I would imagine it’s much
easier to get a tow in the US if your car happens to break
down). Roads tend to be narrower in Mexico than in the US.
It is not advisable to drive at night. For a whole lot more
information on traveling to Mata Ortiz, go to the
Mata Ortiz Calendar.
