Seasoned travelers will tell you that driving throughout Mexico is a great adventure (and most will argue that its the only way to truly experience Mexico). There aren’t many things that can compare to having the open road ahead of you and plenty of time on your side. As always, we encourage everyone to try new locations and destinations and to experience as much of the local customs and attractions you can fit into your schedule.<\/p>\n

If you happen to discover new places (or have an old favorite) and would like to write an article about it, please let us know. We also encourage you to share your photographs of Mexico with us through our\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>. As an ambassador of goodwill, your vision of Mexico can help others see what a beautiful country lay in their backyard.<\/p>\n

Planning for your road trip to Mexico is key to a successful trip. Whether it is a family vacation, an adventure with friends, a business trip or rediscovering your roots, being prepared for the hours you will be spending on the road is important and will ensure that you have a safe and memorable trip.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, make sure your car is in good working condition. Examine your tires, wiper blades, turn signals, brake lights, high and low beams to make sure they all work. Visit your mechanic and change the oil and filters and make sure that the belts and fluids levels are checked.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\n\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n
