It's no joke I find it much less expensive to visit by car, stay in hotels, eat in restaurants. Boondocking in balnearios (spas), and hotel side lots saves time and aggravation. Plus a ton on money.
Yep. Didn't take long for them to figure out the owner of a seventy thousand dollar rig taking a five thousand dollar vacation could "certainly" afford to pay thirty five dollars for a parking space worth a quarter of that.
This is why I made Quicksilver my bus almost totally autonomous. I can park anywhere and I need a feeble 350 watts at most from a rusted receptacle. Really hot areas I start a 5,000 BTU air conditioner alongside my bed.
Stay way way way away from tourist areas is my rule. Tikal and Honduras BONAMPAK are now my two favorite ruins sites. Gracias, Honduras makes a quaint mountain layover. Flores, Guatemala is a bit warm but exotic. I like the south side of Lago Atitlán but check out special travel safety procedure needed.
Wotta Hoot. Once pristine Isla Mujeres, near Can'tcun, now looks like Avalon on California's Catalina Island. You will never again find me east of Sn Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas.
The down the hatch route on 57 then jot over to Morelia, Patzcuaro, down to Zihuatanejo then Puerto Escondido, turn and Tapanatepec up to SCdLC to Lago Atitlan, Guatemala then to Tikal (maybe a side bus adventure to the IXIL TRIANGLE) then Tikal, to Plancencia, is my idea of a trip of a lifetime.
San Cristobal alone has side trips to Zinacantan, Simojovel (to purchase raw amber), then down toward Guatemala - Comitan and Lagos de Montebellos.
