From Amarillo, Texas you can get to the Mexico border in a hop skip, and a jump.
Ok, maybe not that fast. It will take you 7 hours and 23 minutes to get to the border of Mexico from Amarillo and that is taking the quickest route to Del Rio and crossing to Acuna. From Amarillo to this spot on the border it is 464 miles.
If you take the quickest route, here are a few places to stop on the way.
Post, Texas
Stop at Jackson Brothers Meat and pick up some of their beef jerky. It's pricey but it is the best beef jerky that I have ever had. It's so good.
Snyder, Texas
I love stopping at the Stripes just coming into town for a bathroom break and picking up some churros. While you are there visit their historic downtown.
San Angelo, Texas
Check out Fort Concho. Fort Concho is a historical landmark and was an installation founded in 1867 it was a US Army Installation, but in place to help protect the frontier settlers.
Sonora,Texas
Caverns of Sonora is a cool place to visit. These caves are internationally known as the most beautiful caves in the world. Set up a tour to travel 155 ft below the ground to enjoy the sights.
Whether you're zooming to Mexico for fun or you're on the run, this is the quickest way to get there from Amarillo.
