Through Travel
Sorry for the misinformation. The comment about transmigrante not being applicable if you're coming back through Mexico is absolutley right. We only obtained it that way because we were on a one-way trip and sold our bikes in Panama and flew home. We were told it was neccessary if we were leaving form a different border point than we entered from but maybe not.
What I can tell you is that, the language barrier notwithstanding, it was all very professional. Yes, it took a little while but everyone along the way - both coming in and leaving - were very helpfull. And trust me, once you've crossed the borders into and out of any of the Central Amercian countries you'll look back fondly on the Mexico crossing. And I'll NEVER complain again about crossing into the US or back into Canada.
One final note - no matter how frustrating it gets, it's ALL worth it. Mexico and CA is amazing!
