As a Canadian living in Southern Mexico.....cross into Mexico from US in Texas (Reynosa or Brownsville are good) then either follow toll road all the way through the center (Monteray, Mexico, Oaxaca) and through to Guatamala, or follow Gulf Coast road all the way. Pacific coast is twice as long and lots of miles of twists and turns. You'll save many days by sticking to the Gulf Coast. I live on Pacific coast but travel over to Gulf coast when heading north.

Sorry I checked this forum for awhile. We are now in Santos, Brazil where we shipped our campervan back to Galveston, Texas a few weeks ago. It´s due to arrive there this weekend and we fly to Houston from Sao Paulo next week with the dog to pick up the van. We had to hire a customs broker to get the paperwork done for our dog so he can travel on the plane and it cost us $750!!! A complete rip off. We found out it would be about $500 from Chile and only $150 from Peru to fly a dog back. Now that we have just about completed our trip I will be updating our website soon with as much information as possible for everyone. I wish we could start the trip all over again, it has been fantastic. Here´s our website again:

I've never driven down to South America, but we just got back from a trip to Colombia and it was very safe and beautiful.
Very useful information on this web site and I will check out the brightsideoftheroad web site.

Hi Everyone

Great to find a forum with people doing (or have done) a similar trip to our plans. Im planning on visiting family in Canada, buying a vehicle and driving south as far as poss. Ive done mexico to panama by chicken bus but understand driving will be a completly different experience! Being a UK resident I was planning on selling/trading the vehicle at the end of the trip. Does anyone know if this is possible i.e. to leave a vehicle in Mex/Cen/South America as really not wanting to ship vehicle back to UK.?

Thanks
