We are in north central Mexico at the moment, heading south.
With our health insurance we are not covered for areas where our government (UK) advises ‘essential travel only’, therefore we have downloaded the foreign office map and are sticking to the safe areas only.
We crossed in Texas, using the Columbia Bridge and it was easy and safe - we were told to avoid Loredo. We then rode, using the toll road to Monterrey and a pre-booked hotel - Monterrey was great. We are now heading south through the safe, central corridor and will be going up into the mountains tomorrow and it’s safe from there on in.
We have been told that Mexico City is safe but chaotic - if we go it will be on a no car day which I believe are once a week. We’re definitely going to Oaxaca.
BTW people are 3 times more likely to be victims of crime in the US than in Mexico.
Enjoy
