  • Our next stop on our RV trip through Mexico is El Sumidero Canyon in Tuxtla Chiapas. This canyon is Chiapa's claim to fame and incredible natural wonder home to monkeys, crocodiles, and birds. We share our experience driving our RV in Mexico to Tuxtla and taking the canyon boat tour and why this tour was our most frustrating experience yet.

    My friends Dennis and Liz, Travelling Mexico it was never easy, but RV ing Mexico is very complicated and laborious , you guys are RV ing the most southern part of Mexico that it was never intended for RV ing Ever . I enjoy a lot all your videos, but seeing you DRIVE around , gives me the chills. Good Luck on your journey .

      We spent 4 months in Mexico back in the year 2000. The lake was beautiful and so were the surrounding areas. We didn't have a deadline and we didn't make one single reservation. We were riding two up on my 1996 Honda ST 1100.👍

    Liz it looks like Dennis needs a vacation from vacationing.... Sorry to see you so stressed out man. A couple days in that hammock on that beach should do the trick. And the canyon was absolutely amazing!! Very Jurassic park like. And the Christmas tree looked absolutely stunning.

    Glad we skipped it. Now that we are in the greater Cancun / Tulum area I must say that I dislike the garbage everywhere more than the Topes... Inside the resorts most people would never know it but all the side street, vacant lots, marshes, etc. are covered in plastic, glass, building debris. We have seen this to a less extent in Nicaragua and Costa Rica as well. But Quintana Roo unfortunately takes the cake for garbage. You will LOVE Puerto Escondido.... after three months + in Mexico, driving, it is by far my favorite.

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  3 роки тому +2

      The boat tour is definitely something once. I'm sad we didn't spend more time in the area surrounding Tuxtla though. The Sumidero miradores look amazing and the city center seems pretty vibrant as well.
      The trash hit us hard while we were in the Riviera Maya as well and is part of the reason we've decided to talk about it more in videos. But, when there is little incentive and even less infrastructure for recycling or general garbage removal I can understand why it's a problem. I just really wish it wasn't a thing. 😞 - Dennis

    • @townswiley4429
      @townswiley4429 3 роки тому +1

      Dennis, I was thinking with all the resorts that they would be taxed for road use, bad roads, and environmental impact, but unfortunately corruption makes it so those funds would never be used as intended. Luckily, there are still many beautiful things and places to visit and hopefully something changes soon.

    The road bumps- they are everywhere. I so dislike them. Can't see how they add to the safety of the roads and they certainly add to the damage of the shock absorbers on cars. That canyon can only be described as incredible. Majestic, awe inspiring. The plastic: Such a sad human legacy. At 6:06 The pelagic shag or cormorant ( dutch: Aalscholver) LOVED it. We have them in the river along our home and in the National Park where I live. I've not seen that many together though. It may not quite have measured up to your expectations, I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw. Thanks for the great share. 🙏 👍 🎥 ❤️ 🌷 ❤️

    The first 2 minutes is why I didn't buy a traditional RV. Watching Dennis thread the traffic and bottom out is why I bought a Ford E350 cutaway van. Not as wide or as low. The canyon tour looked rushed by the outfitters. Nice job of pointing out the trash problem, I see this mentioned on almost all of the UA-cam channels I see visiting Mexico.

    I really like your honest take on my country. Yes, we Mexicans like to be flattered about the good, but we're never going to fix the bad if visitors are not sincere with some good, "tough love" that merits a little "TLC." As for roads? That's a bigger problem obviously, and locals should pressure the FEDERALES about that ALL OVER Mexico, but they need to start by addressing issues affecting their own tourist industry AT HOME if they care about falling tourist revenues in the middle of a world-wide pandemic. (I mean, FLOATING GARBAGE on YOUR scenic river tour, for example? Please. That's a local problem, NOT a federal one, even if locals are not the ones responsible for littering.)

    Very beautiful canyon! Sorry the tour logistics were trouble. I started watching Mexico content through van / RVers and wandered into expat / long term tourists videos. I wonder if a series of apartment rentals isn’t an easier way to see Mexico. Or maybe Baja by RV and mainland by apartment (and rent a car as needed for trips where the buses don’t go). ??? Although with the kitties probably easier to have your own vehicle.

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah we've thought about what future travels to Mexico will look like for us. I would prefer something smaller but since we're full time I just really don't see us packing our lives into anything smaller than what we are in currently. For shorter trips, I agree with you, apartment / B&B hopping with a rental car would be a very nice option. I think traveling with the kitties would be next to impossible without the RV. - Dennis

    I don't know about that comment of the speed bumps and going back to buttery roads for awhile......But how do you want better roads if you don't spend much while RV ing in the country? Spending more would go to the local governments that will spend more in roads or police. Even when you are vlogging "you are working" in Mexico, you are not paying any taxes when you really should because you are working. Let's be honest here you may not like my comment but it's true!

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  3 роки тому

      Only a portion of taxes goes to improving roads We do spend good money there going on tours, tipping, eating at restaurants and food stalls, and sharing the places we visit so others follow suit. This helps the communities and people oftentimes more than tax dollars would. Also, we pay tolls which are supposed to go to maintaining roads. We've paid well over $2,000 in tolls in our travels. Lastly, we don't pay taxes there because we're not residents. We tried to become residents and they denied us. - Liz

    • @fourthdeconstruction
      @fourthdeconstruction 3 роки тому

      @@EatSeeRV I'm sorry, how are the roads paid for in Mexico? Do they just appear out of nowhere? No, they are paid as we pay in America thru taxes. The tolls that you paid most of that money goes to the private companies that finance those roads. In Mexico, these roads are known as concessions. Only a fraction of that money goes to the federal or state governments. That $2,000 dollars that you stated that you paid doesn't help to build more roads or improve any other roads. The tax you paid in Mexico on food and other services are known as indirect taxes that do not help with capital improving projects in Mexico on anywhere else this is why we have income taxes because we pay a lot more on income taxes than on good & service taxes. So your arguments that you help a lot more by just consuming than paying income taxes is very weak to say the least.
      I invite you to learn more about the rules of paying taxes while "vlogging" (working) in another country. Let's suppose that you're foreigner vlogging in the US then let's ask uncle sam if you have to pay taxes since you're only vlogging. Do you think the IRS would say yes no problem please go ahead? Do you?
      In addition, let's be honest you consumed far less than if you'd stay in a hotel everyday, eat every meal in a restaurant or pay for transportation for every ride that you needed. At the end, no one will force you to do the right thing but the very least let's be honest about the situation and not make degrading statements/complains about the roads in Mexico or imply that you know how things work like roads or taxes in Mexico because it's not the case.

    You guys expect Mexico to be like the US but you’re in MEXICO - like what?

      We never said we expected it to be like that we were just sharing the differences and how it can be frustrating driving there at times in a vehicle not made for this country. I suggest watching our other videos on Mexico and I'm sure you'll see we are very aware we're in Mexico and don't expect things to adapt to us or or vehicle.

    My wife's condition has worsened. She is flying back to the USA.
    I will have to drive back alone. I will not give in to thugs and thieves.

    I admire you guys for taking on this adventure but Dennis needs to gain some perspective. Driving an RV is a completely GRINGO concept devised in a country where the personal vehicle takes precedence over anything else and that is precisely why public transportation in the USA generally sucks. You're driving through one of the most rural states in Mexico in towns and cities founded and built maybe a hundred years before the USA even existed. You should be grateful that there are even paved roads. Try driving your RV through the Alps in Europe where the vast majority of people drive subcompacts because as in Mexico the cities are old and the roads are narrow. Yes, I can relate to the stress of navigating an RV in these tiny rural towns in Mexico but you need to recognize that you are attempting to drive an ENORMOUS gringo contraption in a country that is totally alien to the concept. Don't get me wrong...I love RV's and wish I could just retire and live in one and drive all over the USA which has a highway system designed for it but Mexico and most of the rest of the world aren't and I love that. I don't want Mexico to become another mass paved, alienating desert of fast food and truck stops. Really enjoy your vids guys, don't get me wrong.

      Just because we share our frustrations and experiences traveling through the country at times doesn't mean we don't have perspective or appreciation for being here. But for other RVers who want to follow suit, it's helpful to know that the driving fatigue here is real, especially in an RV. We fully understand the road system not being designed for RV's and are thankful to be here. I feel that is emulated in all of our other videos. We literally have 49 other videos that show positive sides of Mexico. Not sure why this is your take away on our perspective of the country? - Liz
