Does anyone have information about crossing at Los Indios going toward Tampico and Costa Esmerelda? We have been reading that there is a Federale escort each day with at least 100 vehicles in the caravan being escorted at 100 miles per hour to Tampico. Do you think it could be 100 kph. I just don't think our rig would go 100 mph even in the states. We are wondering if it is even worth the trip if we have to be that scared to go? This would be the first year in the last 10 that we haven't made it to Mexico for the winter. Although winter is almost over, we need our Mexico fix. ha ha haWe usually go much further south but would be satisfied to at least make it to Casitas.

That's news to me, I'm heading that way on Mar 3rd in the opposite direction.Seems like all the buses and trucks that go down MX180 have no problem.If you are worried use Laredo, Columbia crossing. Everyone loves it.

This does sound very strange - 100 vehicles??? - 100 KPH??? - A couple years ago there was something about Green Angles escorting groups of RVs who requested it but can't imagine anything like 100 vehicle forming up - or being able to keep up. These rumor mills sure do get carried away at times!!

On that route, even 100 km/hr is FAST for a caravan. Been that route, done that.CLEARLY, no faster than that.

By the way Los Indios is the only crossing into Mexico by transmigrantes. These are the guys that drive totally junk cars through MX to Guatemala to be repaired.I don't think any of of them could go over 80 kph without totally falling apart. :)

I have to say, 100 car caravan at 100 mph (or even kph) has to be one of the most bizarre stories I have heard. I have friends crossing north bound on Tuesday and will have them ask around as they start to get close to Los Indios. I expect it is a story bigger than Texas.
