Over All Route

Puerto Morelos to Laredo, TX 

Many people ask us about our drive from through Mexico, so I thought I would share the route we take. This is not the shortest route, going straight up the coast through Tampico is about 200 kilometers (120 miles)  shorter, but it is a much more scenic route with much better highways and nicer stops. This will be our 12th return trip (that’s 24 trips up and back for those of you that are bad at math), so I would like to say that we have become experts on the trip, but you never become an expert at driving in Mexico. We have encountered so many shocking “road hazards” in our travels that I couldn’t even begin to write them all down.

So off we go! We are starting our 2,745km (1704 miles) journey, and that’s just to the US border, we will keep you posted and go into more detail about our trip from the road. Be sure to check back here to follow along.
