Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on the Trans-Americas Journey.

Thanks to our SPOT Satellite Messenger you can see our exact Trans-Americas Journey road trip driving route through Mexico in July 2010.

We’re STILL in Mexico, so no surprises there. We started the month in Campeche then we headed south and toured a series of Chenes and Rio Bec Mayan ruins in central Campeche State before reaching one of the grandest Mayan sites of them all, Calakmul which is practically on the border with Guatemala.

Next we were off to the city of Villahermosa, then down into the state of Chiapas and the lovely little big city of San Cristóbal de las Casas. From there we went down to Comitán, then around the Lacandon Jungle and up to Palenque before driving back through San Cristóbal de las Casas in order to get to the Chiapas State capital of Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

Stay tuned for more about all of these wonderful destinations in upcoming blog posts. For now, check out the map, below.
