Looking for other riders heading south.
Leaving Vermont Saturday the 26th to SW Indiana and then on down to Texas, then into Eastern Mexico on down to Costa Rica. I live there part time in Monteverde. Trip 3-4 weeks stops in Veracruz, Agua Azul, San Cristobal, Guatemala, Nicaragua etc other spots ??? BMW R90/6 with full packed sidecar - plan to stop in Houston or DAllas a day or so to fit up, and then mosey south...easy driver, slow and not pushy.

Jim,
I lived in Chiapas for 3 years. Lovely state! ![]() So you are coming along the east coast. I'm sure you will take a day or two in Veracruz and the beaches. Then take the route that will take you over to Palenque (Mayan center), ![]() then nearby on the same road: Aguas Azules ![]() an amazing mineral water river that creates its own pools and waterfalls by its deposits. Then tool on down the mountain road ![]() ![]() to San Cristolbal de las Casas. ![]() If you are coming that far south, then you are probably heading for one of the 2 Pacific side entrances to Guatemala, so don't miss the Canyon del Sumidero before Tuxtla-Gutierrez From there you can cut over (or directly from San Cristobal) to Comitan, the sub-tropical town and the Mayan ruins of Tenam Puente nearby ![]() I'm sure you know these places as you live part of the time in Costa Rica, but I show the pictures to try to coax riders AWAY from the PANAMERICANA ONLY route where they miss SO MUCH ! ![]() Toby (charapa) Around the Block 2007 | |

I am leaving for Panama on about May 18 (mas o menos) from Natchitoches, Louisiana (I-49 between Shreveport and Alexandria). If nothing else, stop by. I plan on taking about 4 weeks to get to Panama. Email me at terraxpeditions at gmail dot com
PS, Thanks Toby for adding to my must see places.
