Safest route through Mexico
My fiance and I will be leaving in about 1 week to start our overland trip through Central and South America. Of course, we have heard from everyone how "dangerous" Mexico is and we have been doing a lot of research as to how best to get through the northern and central portions of the country.
At this point, it seems the best bet is the crossing at Eagle Pass in Texas, and once in Mexico, taking highway 57 south.
Does anyone have any further information regarding the safety of this route and if so, how long should we stay on the 57 for? We aren't sure about the region between San Luis Potosi and Puebla.
By the way, we are traveling in a Ural sidecar rig.
Any advice with this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
