My suggestion was to take the coastal route not the mountain route which everyone claims is safer. It is 100 mi longer, $100 more tolls and the danger of fog near Orizaba. See my link.
Belize scares me much more than anywhere in MX. They actually flattened my tire there so they could change it for me.
You will probably be searched and x-rayed anywhere you cross the border.
Sounds good Keelhauler. 57 is the mountain route then? That makes the coastal route more attractive to me.
I would expect to be x-rayed and searched at any crossing. That is not a concern. I will have to figure out what to do about US insurance when we cross into the states and it may be interesting since we have Belize plates.
Belize is an interesting country. Dangerous? Yes. Beautiful? Yes.
Most dangerous part is Belize City. Had a stray bullet come through the back window of the van. That was $450Bz to repair, but at least the kids weren't in the van at the time.
So can things happen? Oh, ya.
Thanks,
