Green Angels (Ángeles Verdes)
We want everybody who travels overland to a destination in Mexico to act as a spokesman, not only for our history, culture, values, beautiful nature, and tourist attractions, but also for our hospitality and the quality of guidance, roadside and tourist assistance services that we provide. "Green Angels".
The Ministry of Tourism’s "Green Angels" patrol an average of 60,000 km per day and over 22 million kilometers every year, providing assistance to road users using a quick dial number 078 and offering the following services:
Guidance and
information about destinations, state and regional tourist attractions and
services.
Mechanical
assistance and emergency radio support.
Assistance in
the case of accidents
Assistance to
the general public in the case of disasters.
Dispatch and Service Control Center

The Green Angels use a modern radio communication system to provide roadside guidance and tourist assistance services. This means that they can respond more effectively to all service users. The Green Angels Dispatch and Service Control Center now uses state-of-the-art technology that not only gives them radio contact with the Green Angels patrol vehicles but also integrates the service with automatic geographic location of vehicles with the option of interconnection with other communication equipment (UHF/VHF) to provide assistance in the case of emergencies. This replaces the amateur radio system that the Green Angels had been using for over 40 years.

We now have 200 radios with geopositioning equipment installed in the new trucks and we will continue until all Green Angels’ radio patrol vehicles are similarly equipped.

The tourist service provided by the Green Angels has brought international acclaim to Mexico since 1960. The tourism guidance, assistance and help is provided free of charge by the Green Angels on behalf of the Ministry of Tourism, benefitting Mexican and foreign tourists travelling by road to the various tourist destinations, with patrols on 262 highways in Mexico.
