great! is good to show that traveling to central america is not so bad as many people think. I went from California to Guatemala is 2004, wife 2 kids and myself and had a greeeeat time.. I just wanted to know, why Honduras??
@@bluehurricane9974 ummm...... The illusion of freedom and actual freedom are two separate things. The US is still a young country relative to others - a big shopping mall with strict rules devoid of culture and real freedom. Sucks to say, but this is the reality. The US has a cast system essentially - the wealthy vs. the less fortunate. Not saying the US isn't an incredible country, but it has never been the best country, and you don't know what you don't know. Before I went to Mexico, I was also brainwashed by the media, things aren't as bad as you would think. Mexico is closer to Canadian life in a way than to the US that's for sure.
I'm glad y'all posted this trip from Texas down to Honduras. I'll be driving the same route next year 2019 late summer. Give me an idea what to expect.
Juan, as long as you have a flexible attitude and stick to the highways, you should enjoy your trip. We stayed on the toll roads as far as we could because they are much safer. And didn't do any driving at night.
PLEASE, PLEASE Reply To Me.... THANKS,,, How Much IS VISA COST To Visit Mexico-City, Guatemala, ElSalvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, CostaRica, Panama, Columbia, Peru, Brazil, END HERE Then Flying Back To Los-Angeles... Million THANKS, DanPham
I never felt in any danger, though I know that Mexico and Central America can be dangerous. The trip was pretty actually quite easy. As long as you stay flexible and have a good attitude, it makes things more enjoyable. We had no need for oil changes, but there are plenty of mechanics available if you don't know how to do it yourself. If you are picky about your parts, I would recommend bringing your own oil filter and oil.
@@19username thanks for the information and video! I have been thinking of driving from Texas to Costa Rica or the other way around and this video has been helpful
@@19username Yes, we brought all our own parts because at the time Toyota pick up parts were very hard to come by in Mexico. Not sure about now. I think there were a lot of Toyotas in Belize but I don't remember. Thinking about doing the trip again. Enjoying your videos and love your attitude! You are right, it makes a huge difference in your experience when traveling, but really anywhere in life!
hi Joel im planning to move there with my husband. He's originally from Honduras. I wanted to drive there since we have animals. I read that in Mexico you need Mexican Insurance. Do you know anything about that and since we are moving and not coming back, do we have to pay alot more money for the truck. also will I need a visa for each country or just Visa for Honduras and passport for Mexico and Guatamala.
you don't need any visas for mexico or any central american country if you have an american passport. You'll have to get permits for the vehicles I'm not sure about the pets.
otto072 OK well how does the citizenship work? My husband is still Catracho, even if I married him here in the US, could he apply for my citizenship now or should we wait till we move? I know I have alot of questions but I want to plan the right way. I can't wait to get there. we are moving maybe 20 minutes away from San Pedro Sula
Joel, For the life of me I can't seem to message you. I can't find the option, and in usual google fashion, the directions on how to go about it are horrific. So anyway, what route did you take to get through Mexico and Guatemala?..which roads? You seemed like you guys were pros. I want to drive to Panama next year and I'd like to take the most efficient route. Thanks for any help you are able to provide. Maybe you can message my you tube channel???
Thanks. That is my plan to use the toll roads. Is it easy to find hotels as you make your way down to Guatemala in Mexico? How about security of my vehicle when staying in hotels? I have a year before my trip and trying to learn as much as possible and avoid nasty surprises. any suggestions are welcome. I called the Mexico and Guatemalan consulates to get all the details.
We stayed with friends in a gated development and kept the truck in a garage the first night. The second night we stayed in a hotel that we knew from before. We parked the truck inside a locked building. I definitely suggest looking into where you are going to stay ahead of time.
We felt safe the whole way, but I know it can be dangerous. We stuck to the toll roads to keep it safer. Diesel was available, but our truck had a big tank on the back we filled up in the US (the quality of the American fuel was better).
We are planning to take a straight boxtruck with two barge motors and a ram with a pump and hauling a Boat any suggestions as far as routes it’s going to Belize from Albuquerque. Any help would be appreciated
I'd probably enter Mexico at Laredo instead of El Paso. This is a little further distance, but you'll spend significantly fewer miles in Mexico this way. From there, stick to the toll roads the entire way as much as you can. Laredo to Monterrey to San Luis Potosi to Mexico City to Puebla to Villahermosa to Chetumal. I wouldn't travel down the eastern coast road as it can be very dangerous. Good luck!
@@cavekidz8015 And make sure you've got any and all possible paperwork (registration, tags, titles, etc.) for the trailer and the boat. I've heard they can give you a hard time at border crossings with trailers. We didn't have to deal with that, so I can't give any more advice than that.
Hi Joel Can I contact you via Email to get a "non-news-tabloid" insiders take on driving (such as you guys did) through MX & Central America - I'd love to be able to email you with questions Thx! Mike
Nipsia Castaneda you don’t need guts for a trip like this don’t believe the tv and radio stations is propaganda, here in America if you go to the wrong place you get killed too, is safer there than here in the USA people is humble over there they don’t have much but they are willing to give it to you, the good people is way more than the bad
Does anyone know if there's a bus that takes you to Monterrey Mexico and is it pretty safe and how much money is it. Also what documents are required.?
I'm debating on driving or flying I have 3 girls 1boy and I'm a female I have a truck I'm in Houston I want to drive to Honduras tho I've never driven that far only to San Antonio n Dallas n Austin what do y'all think/recommend resin i want to drive is to leave them my truck and take lots of things for family it will be the first time I go.
Jimmy Hernandez my family that's there is just worried about us getting robbed certain areas you may cross but other than that nothing I'm more worried about loosing GPS SIGNAL.LOL
@@AlejandroP1980s Definitely Nuevo Laredo and I suggest crossing the border at the checkpoint on I69W. Sure it's on the outskirts of Laredo/Nuevo Laredo but it's more fast, effective and less chaotic than going into Laredo on I35W and crossing into the chaos of Nuevo Laredo. Plus the drive from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey is fast, safe and the roads are in good conditions.

We didn't run into any of those kind of issues on this trip. On a later trip driving in Nicaragua I was pulled over by a cop that was asking for a bribe.
This is Joel. I had that when I was driving a rental in Nicaragua! What about the temporary importation of he vehicle, can you describe a little bit about the process and requirements?
@@jay23cr The temporary import was easy and affordable. Just needed all documents and lots of copies. Title, license, registration, etc. It's just one extra step at each border.
I am actually moving to Honduras and I plan on driving there. I heard to get the temp permit in Mexico for my car I have to leave a $400 deposit and only get it back once my car returns to Mexico. I don't plan on returning to us in a car. How did you fibs the hotels with enclosed parking garage??
@@susymejia4698 We didn't have any issues like that. We just paid a reasonable fee for the temporary permit. I went with a guy who had made the trip before. He was familiar with all the border crossings and hotels we stayed in.

DANIEL PHAM I've not been to all those countries, but I'm pretty sure you don't need a visa to enter any of them if you hold a US passport. There will be various entry/exit taxes depending on method of travel.
Dude, I'm Hispanic American and have traveled to Mexico many many times because I have family there still but why are you playing Cuban music in the background when in Mexico!!?? You need Mexican music, No!! Check out Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Ramon Ayala, Jose Fernandez, just a few of Mexican finest singers. Well, glad you made it back to the USA safely.
Rodoandy Hernandez Dang buddy don't get your panties in wad. Not only are you wrong you don't know your geographical areas, he was traveling through MEXICO not cuba, just stating that it would of been more appropriate to play mexican music. Sad to say though that the only super star that came out of Cuba was the late great Celia Cruz. Mexican music rocks, yes sir. Have an enjoyable day.
Joel Im planing to make that trip and I have tons of questions, I live in ft/dallas area as well. Is there any way I can contact you to get info? You could save me alot of time and stress lol Thanks in advance
Yeah, I can't figure it out either. The list of what you need is pretty much the same for every border. To get yourself in, you pretty much just need a passport. To get the vehicle in, you'll need originals of registration, driver's license, and title. You'll then need several copies of each document (you'll leave them at each border). You'll have to pay (it varies) to enter and to leave each country. Both for the car and for yourself. You don't need insurance in any of the countries in this video.
Hello are you guys still in Honduras I would like to move my family of 4 there I would like to get a small property in the country can you recommend any where?
The roads in Mexico were pretty good. A lowered car could probably make it, though you would want to go slower in rough sections. Especially in Guatemala where there are lots of speed bumps.
There is places right on the border you can exchange to pesos. However, you can go to a bank in Mexico and they can do the exchange or they will let you know the closest place to exchange.
You can go to any ATM pretty much or bank and withdraw, the fee per bank varies, but it's typically 34 pesos (santander) to 100 pesos or so with HSBC, but many banks that you can withdraw from and they'll convert automatically. Otherwise bring USD and you can convert with most places, they'll typically give you 18-20 pesos (2019), right now the peso has lost some value so should be 22-24 afaik
I'm on my way to Costa Rica and my passport was stolen in Mexico.Can I continue with a copy of my passport and birth certificate? I cant afford to pay $350 dollars for another American passport. Thanks.
Howdy Joel - Thanks for the feedback and this wonderful video - Would you please elaborate a little bit more as far as having to register your vehicle, the fact that you are just driving through Mexico and then Guatemala & Honduras, is there a 300+ deposito depending on how old your vehicle is? or does that only counts if you are staying in any of the three countries you guys drove through? Also, what's the average auto insurance fee from Laredo to the Guatemalan border? Again, thank you so very much, great video.
Registering your vehicle was just the next step in line at the border. You pay different amounts depending on whether or not you are "in transit" or stopping in Mexico. I don't know all the different prices. From what I recall, the prices were the same for all the vehicles regardless of age (including in Guatemala and Honduras). I do know that you can't import a vehicle into Honduras if it is older than 10 years (meaning you can't get Honduran plates and registration). For our purposes, we didn't have to get any insurance.
Mexico is safer than USA in many ways, but just watch where you step is all. Screw the media. We should enjoy all nation-states who import Yank Tanks! They are more free market than USA!
Is true, the idiots that believe the stupid media, why disrespect a whole country, why is always an American saying stupid things about Mexico?? I don’t get it
I need your help. I am driving to Honduras to be wi th my husband because TRUMP has had him deported. Can you help me with how to map it, hotels, when to stop, has stops etc.
When are you planning on driving out there ? I am debating driving over flying because flights are so expensive right now.I want to spend Christmas and New year's in central honduras.

There is places right on the border you can exchange to pesos. However, you can go to a bank in Mexico and they can do the exchange or they will let you know the closest place to exchange.
Almost every where you can change dollars for pesos or most of gas station take dollars
You can go to any ATM pretty much or bank and withdraw, the fee per bank varies, but it's typically 34 pesos (santander) to 100 pesos or so with HSBC, but many banks that you can withdraw from and they'll convert automatically. Otherwise bring USD and you can convert with most places, they'll typically give you 18-20 pesos (2019), right now the peso has lost some value so should be 22-24 afaik
The ladder is your passport.
If you ever down her again let me know brother
I would have went to Belize..
How long did it take you to get to Honduras?
Z MezGar Three long days of driving from the US border to the Honduras border.
Texas is so long
I'm on my way to Costa Rica and my passport was stolen in Mexico.Can I continue with a copy of my passport and birth certificate? I cant afford to pay $350 dollars for another American passport. Thanks.
Keith Jobs I can't make any promises, but, to my knowledge, you'll need the real thing. I'm sorry, that's too bad.
US Embassy may help --not 100% though, worth a shot
At the 3:15 mark what is the name of that song?
It is Claro Que No by Tiquiplas. ua-cam.com/video/6Ph2QwAtk1c/v-deo.html
How much did it cost to get through all the tolls
It's been a few years, so I don't remember exactly. It was something like $130-$150 I think.
This is Joel. Oh ok, thanks
What’s the name of the song in 3:14!?
Claro Que No by Tiquiplas.
How much were your fees for registration and visa at mexican border ? thanks you
I don't remember the amounts exactly. If I remember correctly, it was around $30-$40.
Howdy Joel -
Thanks for the feedback and this wonderful video - Would you please elaborate a little bit more as far as having to register your vehicle, the fact that you are just driving through Mexico and then Guatemala & Honduras, is there a 300+ deposito depending on how old your vehicle is? or does that only counts if you are staying in any of the three countries you guys drove through? Also, what's the average auto insurance fee from Laredo to the Guatemalan border?
Again, thank you so very much, great video.
Registering your vehicle was just the next step in line at the border. You pay different amounts depending on whether or not you are "in transit" or stopping in Mexico. I don't know all the different prices. From what I recall, the prices were the same for all the vehicles regardless of age (including in Guatemala and Honduras). I do know that you can't import a vehicle into Honduras if it is older than 10 years (meaning you can't get Honduran plates and registration). For our purposes, we didn't have to get any insurance.
I appreciate you brother - thanks again.
Hola
why risk you lives coming to Mexico ?
Mexico is safer than USA in many ways, but just watch where you step is all. Screw the media. We should enjoy all nation-states who import Yank Tanks! They are more free market than USA!
Is true, the idiots that believe the stupid media, why disrespect a whole country, why is always an American saying stupid things about Mexico?? I don’t get it
always wanted to do that but i’m told it’s dangerous
Gary Teague not truth
Why would you leave America for Honduras?
