Trip Planning for Mexico
Not everyone needs me to plan a trip or driving route. If you have driven in Mexico before, have a good idea of where you want to go and all you want to do is get from point A to Point B, maybe you just need some maps from me. My maps have mileages, drive times (based on real driving, not some computer-generated guess) and sometimes features like hot springs, hotels, RV parks and elevations.

Even a good GPS map, like the BiciMapas Mexico map I sell, won't help you as much as talking to someone who has driven Mexico and knows where to go and where to avoid.
However, if you would like someone to talk to about what driving routes to take (even if you are just driving Mexico from Point A to B) and general information, I can help. In Mexico, there is seldom only one way to go from A to B. In fact, the driving routes that are the most obvious on maps are not always the ones you want to drive. For instance, I highly recommend avoiding Tampico and taking the obvious highway route down the Gulf Coast. But you would not know why just by looking at a map, even mine. Oh, and driving times? Forget what you see on the Internet. Driving is much different than in the USA.
Driving to Central America?
If you are driving to Central America (Belize, Guatemala or beyond), you at the very least need my Central America FAQ. There is one route most people take, but it is not the only one.
A Few Hours Could Change Your Life
You may not want to dilly-dally or sightsee Mexico. However, it is possible that a half a day's detour could show you one of the most unique attractions in Mexico, if not the world. And, you could stay in a good-enough, but nondescript Holiday Inn without knowing that a hotel with character might be a few blocks away.
Experience Life in a Real Nahuatl Village
My friend Rudy in Tamazunchale will show you nature you would miss if you even stumbled into Tamazunchale. Plus, if you want to meet the real natives of Mexico, he can take you to real villages, not tourist traps.
Where To Choose?
You might be like me when I first started driving Mexico and want to see certain things and areas but not others. But how to choose? Guidebooks extol most areas, because most areas are interesting to someone. If you talk to me, I can tell you flat out that some places are just boring, over-hyped and not for you, based on what you tell me.
If you want to experience the Mexico beyond the tourist traps or expat havens, I can gently guide you to having a better experience.
