The two PROJIMO projects are in two villages
about 30 km. apart, an hour or so north of Mazatan,
Sinaloa, Mexico:
PROJIMO Rehabilitation Program,
in the village of Coyotitán, Sinaloa, 66 km north
of the coastal city of Mazatlan, Mexico.
Coordinators: Mari Picos and Conchita Lara
Calle Constitución #105, Col. Las Huertas
Coyotitán, Sinaloa, Mexico CP 82990
E-mail: "PROYECTO PROJIMO" <PROJIMO_AC@hotmail.com>
Telephone: From the USA dial: 011 (52) (6969)-62-01-15
By car. To get to PROJIMO Coyotitan
drive north from Mazatlan toward Culiacan (or south
from Culiacan toward Mazatlan) on the "libre" road (not
the coastal toll-road superhighway) to Km 66 and turn
east at the sign that says Coyotitan and San Ignacio.
Drive about 1 km through the small town until you see
a rehab playground between a few buildings on your left.
There is a small sign that says PROJIMO. Ask for the
coordinators Mari Picos and Conchita Lara.
By bus. You can take a bus from the
Mazatlan bus terminal (Central de Autobuses). Take any
second or third class bus going north toward Culiacan
on the "libre" road, and ask to be let off at the Coyotitan
junction. Often there is a taxi at the junction that
can take you to PROJIMO (El Proyecto de los discapacitados.)
Buses from Mazatlan destined for San Ignacio, San Juan,
or Ajoya take the Coyotitan turn-off and can drop you
right at PROJIMO.
By air. If you are arriving at Mazatlan
by air, you may be able to make arrangements with PROJIMO
(by phone or -mail) to be picked up at the airport.
Or you take a cab or van (cheaper) to the bus station,
and go to Coyotitan by bus.

to the right. Drive 2 km to the small village. On the
