Mexico Road Safety
Dorothy and Bill Bell have lectured about Mexico Road and RV travel in colleges, RV Shows and private seminars throughout Western Canada and the US. They have travelled to all 31 states over a dozen times and are considered experts on road travel in this amazing country. American and Canadian snow birds are making up their minds on whether or not to drive by car or recreational vehicle to their place in the Mexican sun. However, recent travel warnings by both the Canadian and American governments along with negative media reports has generated a tremendous interest and concern over travel safety issues in Mexico. Response to our first report on Road Safety in Mexico over whelmed us. It generated over a thousand enquiries and requests for more detailed information on road safety in Mexico. The following is our best assessment and contains answers to many of the questions that have been posed to us. To read the entire story click here How to travel throughout this site!

Cholula's Great Pyramid
Can You Read the Signs? by Tara Spears As thousands of seasonal visitors return to the Riviera Nayarit, many arrive by personal vehicle and are often overheard bemoaning the confusion of Mexican road signs. Well, duh, Canadian road signs are confusing if one doesn’t understand English. I am embarrassed to admit that even after years of being a permanent resident in this beautiful country, I couldn’t read the Spanish traffic signs. This fall I determined to educate myself. With notebook and pen on the seat, I set off driving and would pull over to jot down the sign wording to be translated later. For years I had blindly made up translations as I barreled along the Mexican roads, more interested in the sights than the traffic signs- imagine my shock to learn that my imaginary translations were totally wrong. Yikes! Ignorance may be bliss but it is also unsafe when behind the wheel. A crucial sign that most international drivers can recognize because it is the same shape and color as the ubiquitous stop signs is Alto; however, in Mexico it is not typically placed on the right side of the road before the intersection but rather on the far side of the cross street. Another troublesome sign is the left turn indicator: here it is necessary to exit one street from the right lane to make a left turn into another street-heads up to all of you that are zipping into Bucherias’ Mega or Vallarta’s Cosco or Walmart. Forget the rules of the road that you learned in another country regarding yellow lines: in Mexico, the drivers pass on turns or whenever they feel like it, solid lines be damned, expecting the oncoming traffic to make way for them. Obviously, driving defensively and yielding is wise no matter how strongly you feel that you have the right of way. Read the rest of this story by clicking here The Best Road Maps for Mexico

New RV Parks in Mexico New Park in Barra de Navidad Jalisco
Cocodrilo RV. Aticama, Nayarit, Mexico. Hi Bill and Dorothy!
We, Debbie and
Arturo Barrera, Co-Founders of RV Tours Caravans Azteca
and San Juan del Lago RV Resort and Campsites, want to
tell you that y We would also like to give you a cordial invitation to come and visit us and get to know everything that this area has to offer. Once you are here, we will look after you and show you around. We will introduce you to our brand new RV Destination (with 240 sites) in the heart of Mexico. Lake Cuitzeo, in the state of Michoacán, offers beautiful nature sights, a spectacular collection of flora and fauna and a slow pace to relax and unwind from all stress. It has a perfect blend of weather, location, intimacy, tranquility and convenience. In 2006, Cuitzeo was designated a “Magical Town (Pueblo Mágico)”, which means it offers visitors a “magical” experience, by reason of their natural beauty, cultural riches and historical relevance. Located only 15 minutes away is Morelia, the state capital of Michoacán, which offers full amenities, shopping centers (Costco, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, etc.), movie theatres, and diverse restaurants that offer the best in national and international cuisine. In addition, excellent, modern medical facilities are easily accessible. Morelia’s amazing colonial architecture, vibrant historic downtown area (Centro Histórico) and one of the most striking relics – a mile-long limestone aqueduct, are enchanting. Being in the center of the country will give you the opportunity to explore many tourist destinations located within a three-hour drive. If you crave a change from the mainstream, commercialized tourist destinations and desire to explore the rich culture of Mexico, come and stay with us. The only way to know the country is to take your time and slowly savor every moment. This area welcomes the opportunity to serve the RV market, and in particular, those seeking to escape the cold, harsh months of winter. Mexico is an exquisite architectural wonder, rich in history, art and culture. It strikes the perfect balance between culture, progress and nature and provides a beautiful and interesting tourist destination. The mix of modern and traditional, clichéd and surreal, is the key to Mexico’s charm. Come visit us and stay a while… Debbie

Kids and Mexico Bringing kids to Mexico is a fantastic opportunity to have some concerted family time while exploring a different culture. Children of any age are a challenge though so I will be making some recommendations based on 3 kids and nearly two decades coming to Mexico.

Knossos
(alternative spellings Knossus,
Cnossus, Gnossus,
Greek Κνωσός pronounced
[kno̞ˈso̞s]),
also known as the Knossos Palace
is the largest
Bronze Age
archaeological site on
Crete and probably the ceremonial
and political center of the
Minoan civilization and culture. It
is also a tourist destination today, as
it is near the main city of
Heraklion and has been
substantially, if imaginatively
"restored", making the site more
comprehensible to the visitor than a
field of unmarked
ruins.
