Guatelmala

Guatemala is a pretty gosh-darn dangerous place to travel. Fortunately, Ticabus has all the answers. Seriously, though. Traveling in a car or even a bus is not recommended in Guatemala, especially not near the border of Mexico and El Salvador which is where we'd be doing most of our traveling.

Mexico trains and buses

Mexico used to have a good train service linking all major cities, using restaurant cars, sleeping-cars and observation cars, many inherited from the USA. Sadly, the Mexican government discontinued almost all long-distance passenger train service just a few years ago, and buses and planes are now the only way to get around Mexico. A couple of very minor service exist in certain areas, including the famous 'Copper Canyon' service from Los Mochis to Chiuaha. For a summary of remaining Mexican train services see www.mexlist.com/pass.htm. For information on the Copper Canyon train service see www.chepe.com.mx/ingles/index.html.

Bummer, huh? I guess we'll be traveling by bus!

I couldn't find anything on buses that travel farther north than Zacatecas or San Luis Potsgi, but I'm sure there are buses that travel up there. So far, here are some links:

My proposed route from Colorado by city:

Pueblo -> Albuquerque -> El Paso -> Chihuahua -> Los Mochis -> Culiacan -> Tepic -> Guadalajara -> Morelia -> Mexico City -> Oaxaca -> Tuztia Gutierrez -> Guatabala
