- In this episode I am trying to ride to San Cristobal de las Casas. I leave the peaceful and tranquil community of Lacandon Mayas, and quickly enter a very different world. I try to avoid the road which has lots of warnings, but the alternative road isn't free of obstacles either. I am on edge and do not trust anybody here.

It’s been six months since season six started on Dec 1 and Noraly has produce three videos a week every week. Not missing one video. Crazy impressive. She may go by Itchy Boots but I think “The Dutch Machine” is more appropriate. Hope you’ve found time for some rest and relaxation during this time. Keep having fun out there. Cheers.

Hi Noraly 👋👋👋👋!!! I just wanna say that in San Cristóbal you can find a youtuber and his family with the name VAGABOOM. His name is Denis (he is from Switzerland) his wife and little daughter from Mexico). They are in San Cristóbal at the moment. It would be really nice if you could meet them for a few hours or so (if you don't have much time left) Eating dinner and sharing life travel experiences, or maybe they can show you around a little bit... 😊 They're really nice people and it should be really nice that VAGABOOM 's subscribers can also meet you through them. Good luck girl 🍀! And thank you very much for every single video you share with us!!! I always get so sentimental 🥹🙏🥰👍.
@@joanadelao4973 She is 2 days in front of her videos. So maybe she is far away from that town you are talking about.
@@TCulmsee ok, I am understand ... But who knows??!!! Maybe we're lucky 😜😊. It worked with Charly Sinewan ( I don't know how many messages I sent to them in every single way) 😂😃😊. But thank you and have a nice day 🤗
That procession with people and trucks was probably a funeral procession. I live in Mexico and really enjoying Noraly's tour through the country.
It was, the first munnicipal police told her that it was a 12 (or 14) year old boy and he did not knew what happened to him and was asking if she had something to give to the people doing the procession.
You are correct
Immigrants traveling to US
@@xac1566 dumnass
yes, it is the same in my Colombia we have to go outside town to say good bay for the very last time
I did 45 days on my bike once on the US highways and thought I was adventurous.
Hats off you, a non poser, true adventurer.
Fear is a gift when you know how to interpret its signals. It was interesting to see Noraly react to the situation. She has traveled so much and been to so many different places that her intuition must be incredibly sharp. I would love to sit down and have a beer with her and listen to the stories that she doesn't talk about on video. If she shared her experiences with others, many things could be learned. A book called "The Gift of Fear" that I read years ago goes into depth about this stuff; it is an interesting read.
Yes, I was thinking the same. She is cautious but does not freak out if she comes across strange situations.
She always analyzes the real situation and does not presuppose.
Driving her motorcycle out of uncertain situations like this or the episode with the robe is just smart! Well done. She travels too fast for evil to catch up with her.
People, think positive!Please wish her happy trails and to keep the wind in your face. She has been through many a dangerous place and situations and peace has always prevailed.
Well said 🙏🏾
Bullets have a way of changing peace for the worse.
Thank you ❤️
Yes, people should have a positive mindset, and should hope and wish Noraly the best in her travels. I think all the concern and panic for her safety on the road is because of a big lack of confidence in her skills and strength, because they are new viewers or who knows.. So in conclusion, it's not a lack of positive thinking, people should learn to trust her more.. and you learn by having more information, well.. she has 400+ videos of proof she's better than people think this she is.
But jezzz... still :( I'm freaking out ... all those isolated road :(
For all it's troubles Mexico is a very beautiful place with an amazing history. I wish it's people well.
Thank you
Tenemos un excelente presidente y muchos de los problemas que tenemos hoy irán desapareciendo.

The little girl following around her papa during breakfast was adorable. 🥰
I spent a few years hauling mixed compressed gasses into Mexico and I loved the country. Growing up in Texas only 150 miles from the border we spent as much time there as we did at home. I really hate what it’s become because it’s a beautiful nation filled with wonderful people who just want to be left alone to live.
DREAMER....MEXICO===nooo bueno///trouble an trouble...
And here we get to see Itchy Boots in full alert mode, something we don't quite see as viewers. And great instinct on the spot, in my opinion, to give that skechy "Policia Municipal" guy just enough time to see what's going on, keeping the engine on, and then immediately leaving to keep up with the other riders. Good strategy in my opinion. Great to see the "Fight of flight" Boots side of Itchy Boots 💪
Yes, the first one looked sketchy, but it was a rural police. Anyway it is always a smart idea to be on the lookout.
What the guy said, it gave me the sense that it was a funeral procession for a 14year old deceased boy
@@Kantuva I thought it looked like a funeral. Thanks for the info.
The only policía municipal was the patrol but the indigenous are self defence guards, Miss Itchy boots is crossing a very indigenous state and the people there have very strong customs.
Actually, the "sketchy" Policia Municipal was telling Noraly that the dead guy was a young man; it was a funeral. He tried to explain to Noraly that, but his Spanish was very bad. Many people in that area don't even speak Spanish.
Those policía municipal guys looked like they were escorting a funeral to town to town or to the graveyard, normal thing in small towns here in México nothing to worry about ;)
Could we have that in writing please!
Yes, I think he said “una joven de quince años “ . Sounds like a young person had died.
@@bayadere8308 Didn't you just now read it, in writing?
@@victormartinez2941 Deplorable racists? Judgmental much?
@@victormartinez2941 Calm down son of Hillary. There is no such thing as a deplorable and keep crying racist..no one is listening or cares anymore.
he was a rural Municipal police man,not all towns can afford proper gear and uniforms.He was basically asking for a voluntary donation to help the family of a 14 year old boy that died.
Would have been smart to had it written down in Spanish, and maybe also English… And maybe also learn to say it in Spanish, when that is the most used language of the country he live in. But he probably did not think about it before.
@@Gismo3333 are you paying for lessons?
@@phoenixcampos3144 - About what?
Alot of those places in southern and central Mexico where there's a high native population, tend to create town self defense groups that create checkpoints by making roadblocks to protect from criminal organizations (whose people are foreign to the area and mostly come from Sinaloa).
@@ivansultan1 In Northern Mexico there was a higher European influence that lead to a different culture and customs to develop. Most people there are of mixed European and Native ancestry and there's alot of people of only European decent there as well. Not saying one is better than the other, but causes one culture to be skeptical of the other and to act in different ways. This isn't exclusive of Mexico, it can be seen in post colonial places like South Africa.
Curiously the narco culture derived in a way from the rugged cowboy/ranching culture of the North, and now those people seem to take advantage of these communities in the south increasingly, which is why the locals have to protect themselves with these checkpoints.
@@Vettejocke Indeed! There are areas with higher non indigenous people like in northern and parts of central states like Zacatecas and Jalisco
Thanks for the explanation … one might think it is all criminal gangs, but is just to defend themselves, this is so unreal in the Netherlands where I’m living.
I thought it was a illegal migrant caravan 🤷♀️
I'm so happy when I see a video drop, I know you are still rolling strong..
I meet Noraly when Charly Sinewan anda her trip crossing., And really I began to admire all her videos...Now that she is in our country I wish the best of best for she.
Thank you by show us many beautiful places of our dear México.
God bless your trip and life, Noraly!
Safe travels 🙏 Noraly I love all your episodes ❤ God bless you 🙏
👏👏👏👏 tambien conocí a Noraly por el video de Charly, ahora estoy suscrito a su canal. 👍👍
Yo ya la conocía desde hace muchísimo tiempo... pero, creo que no tendré oportunidad de conocerla en persona 😪
You live in that lawless hellhole, gecondoleerd.
Same happen to me that I saw Charles's video and it was with Noraly.
Since then I have been watching her videos. 👍👍👍.
I think she has more courage than most. Also her personality will go far. I love this lady as we all do. So glad to see her new posts.
Thank you dear Noraly, your filmmaking skills, your beautiful attitude to life, and your courageous heart wisdom continues to fill us all with a deep sense of awe and gratitude ❤🙌❤
The pipes on the bridge may be there to prevent cattle from crossing as they are afraid to step on them.
I think you are right. Those are very similar to the pipes we find in cattle gates.
Then the bars would be across and not longitudinal. A better explanation is that these are old railroad tracks used to span across pilings to make a bridge and then they put cement over the top to make a road surface, which in this case was quite worn.
@@robcroese4677 et al
The pipes in the bridge are there as structural members from the time it was built . The back roads in Chiapas ,Tabasco ,Veracruz and other places were used by PEMEX oil exploration teams to search for oil deposits in all corners and PEMEX often would build the first bridges so that their heavy big equipment did not need to do water crossings . Being in the oil business with a supply of pipes at hand they ( or a subcontractor ) would often use such to construct the bridges almost entirely with pipes, instead of structural steel beams .Even the road deck has pipes lain in the length of the bridge and would be covered with a skim of concrete or simply a gravel-dirt mix . With use the covering layer wears away exposing the bare steel .This bridge is an example where the deck is made of modest diameter pipes and the gap is not yet deeply worn out and it was no big issue for Noraly to cross . In the Pantanos de Centla , the delta wetlands north of Palenque , there are long , high river-crossing bridges over the Usumacinta and its branches with the vertical support pillars also constructed of large diameter pipe . In some the high deck is made of much larger diameter pipes which tend to have deeper grooves and can be very annoying for a motorcycle to traverse . It gets doubly interesting when the concrete and fill have completely disappeared down through the gap .
As a side note , in some towns they have storm grates made with small diameter pipe placed parallel to the direction of travel and which are spaced so ridiculously widely that a skinny tire like on a Ralley or a pizza bike can get trapped😯 ! Ride with caution and always read the street surface . . .
@@robcroese4677 yeah... I don't actually know anything about these but that was what I was thinking
So glad I did my Argentina - Alaska ride without smartphones, so much less stress. The only time i was made aware that Mexico might be dangerous was when I arrived in the US and the first thing people asked was 'weren't ya scared?'. Nope
I'm really upset. Because I really want to see your journey but their aren't any
@@ronaldrenegade8519 2006
How blissful of you.

Hola Itchy Boots. Sorprendentes tus rutas. Soy mexicano y vivo en Chihuahua, al Norte de México. Pero desconocía todo lo que puede suceder al Sur del país, hasta que tú lo has mostrado, gracias en verdad. NO todo México es así. Espero de corazón que tu recorrido por nuestro país sea placentero y seguro. Eres una persona muy honesta, y en México la mayoría son buenas personas (como en todo el mundo), pero siempre existe algunos malandros que manchan la imagen. A TODO EL QUE TE HAGA PREGUNTAS DEMASIADO PERSONALES, EVITALO, NO LES DES INFORMACION Y TRATA DE MOSTRARLES QUE NO VIENES SOLA, QUE TUS AMIGOS ESTAN POR LLEGAR Y QUE TU SOLO TE ADELANTASTE UN POCO. Mis mejores deseos en tu viaje, saludos cordiales y bendiciones.
Itchy Boots is a Warrior 🌻🤠💪
I have been riding to Mexico, through Mexico and to Panama almost once a year for the last 35+ years. I used to depart from LA and the last few years I left from Chicago!! Like you I speak some good Spanish and I have never had any problems. Check points are there for your safety and most of them have real Police/Army. My rule of thumb like every one else mentioned, do not ride at night, be careful and try to stay on the main highway. Go where your guts tell you! I rode, as a film maker, one of the "Narco Roads" between Chiapas and Guatemala a few years back and that was very interesting! I can not believe that you entered Chiapas and did not show us (you could not film I guess) the immigration process! Just be safe. You have traveled the world and so have I as a reporter/documentary film maker and if you look and think you will be okay, you have been ok for so many years. You will hear sab stories all over. I am getting ready to leave the USA in a few weeks on my way to Panama then to Patagonia. This will be my last long distance ride since I am getting older! I will be coming down from Colorado but you will already have passed me! Did you see Charlie's latest adventure in El Salvador? Ride safe Noraly and maybe our roads will cross someday! Ciao
Noraly, we’ve been especially worried about your travels through Mexico. I know you thoroughly research your routes, please continue to stay safe out there! As always, we will see you in the next video…let’s go! ❤️
Nothing is gonna happen to Miss Itchy Boots 'cause many travellers are crossing Mexico in bici bikes, moto bikes, in home cars, back packing, walking etc. without any problem.
@@RodrigoSahagun thank you for the encouragement!
@@RodrigoSahagun until your a statistic! Trust me! Things happen in Mexico and everywhere. I currently live in Costa Rica. I own an agave farm in Apozol, Zacatecas, and a Aloe farm in Hildalgo. I love Noraly and her travels and have utmost respect! I am old and have seen and see many things. I use hope nd pray for her safety, she stays well ahead of her travel postings. The Policia in Mexico are NOT your friend! You heard the one asking questions! Noraly as her personality likes to play it off as “being nice” that officer was inappropriate and was asking serious questions about her travels, where she was going, traveling alone, have a husbnd, etc..”takes a lot of money to travel like she does” etc etc. I am sorry to say, but the truth is. She is ripe for extortion! I know Mexico..Central and SA VERY well! People there, they are desperate and will do anything to eat! The USA has not a clue what true desperation is!
I pray for her safety and continued enjoyment of a full fruitful entertaining life..STAY WAY AHEAD OF YOUR RECORDINGS!
@@dirtydingus5465 Yours is one of the most sensible comments here. Too many people here engaged in this magical thinking that she's somehow safe because of her personality. I'm Mexican. No amount of charm can save you in Mexico, only awareness and readiness can.
It's not that bad really. I have friends who travel all over Mexico on their motorcycles (from Texas) at least twice a year. You just research your routes, and check with local law enforcement for safe routes. And knowing what cities and/or areas of cities, to stay away from. Sort of like what you would do here in the States, just stay out of the bad areas and you're fine. Anyway, Mexico is a large country, and the vast majority of it is perfectly safe.
The indigenous Policia municipal fellow was trying to tell itchy that a young guy had died and that this was a funeral. There aren’t enough policeman’s for these small villages and thus the need for Policia municipal to help with traffic and other tasks . These guys are volunteers and make no money. This particular fellow Barely spoke Spanish.

You were right to be alert, Noraly. Some places are like that. Thankfully all went well. Still enjoying your posts in 2023.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to share your travels and experiences with us.
Even when it is certainly not without risks. Please take care en pas een beetje op, meid.
Noraly, Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures! We look forward to each of them. Have a fantastic day!
When I come back from work, I divide the days to Noraly days and Not Noraly days, so I can feel your expectations.
Hi Noraly 👋👋👋👋!!! I just wanna say that in San Cristóbal you can find a youtuber and his family with the name VAGABOOM. His name is Denis (he is from Switzerland) his wife and little daughter from Mexico). They are in San Cristóbal at the moment.

Finally! I am from San Cristobal de las Casas. I have been following your journey and I am so happy that you finally made it to my beloved hometown. I hope you enjoy your time in Sancris! Ping me if you need some pointers on other places to stop by on your way through Mexico. Safe travels!
thank you Noraly for showing us this side of adventure travel, that makes your films so unique, that it is so varied, in one episode something about geology, in the other something about indigenous people, and this video shows that you should always follow your instincts on such a journey, I am glad that you have reached your destination safely, take care of yourself
Hello Noraly, this area tells me that it is very dangerous, the locals are indigenous abandoned by the government and block the roads demanding to be heard, unfortunately the authorities do not attend them, apart from having a very corrupt police. I sincerely hope you do very well on your trip, go very carefully as you did today taking another path, you are very important to all of us who see your adventure, being a ray of light where you are. Greetings and good luck.
Such beautiful posts! We are so fortunate to see the world through your adventures! Hope to see you soon in our country (USA)! GO NORALY!! 🇳🇱
These speed bumps can be extremely dangerous at night, as I do not see any signs or flashing lights to signal for speed bumps. Ride safely! 😊❤
My Husband asked me. what are you doing I replied I am in Mexico. He was like oooh you are watching Itchy Boots . I really look forward to your uploads. Thank you @Itchy Boots
San Cristobal de las Casas is a beautiful little city! The people and the food were both incredible!

I have so much respect for you. Doing that solo. I wouldn’t, but hopefully it keeps going your way.
I would do it solo just because there's no one with you to share the experience with.
Hola te conozco como Noralee desde que Charly Sinewan te ayudó a cruzar una frontera; he visto varios videos de tus viajes y me encanta lo que haces igual que a Charly te gusta sufrir y arriésgarte por caminos por donde no anda nadie; te felicito por, atreverte y vivir de esa forma tu vida; te mando un abrazo desde 🇨🇱 Chile.
Noraly I'm happy to see you in my country finally, just be careful with police as well.
Totally agree, some police officers are connected to the surrounding problems
Wise words. They are not always who they appear to be.
is the police taking part in corruption and crime in Mexico?

Hola Noraly saludos desde Oaxaca !
Los policías municipales son personas que brindan un servicio a sus pueblo por lo tanto ellos se encargan de salvaguarda la seguridad de sus comunidades , eso es en pueblos agencias y municipios y ya para las ciudades y distritos se encargan Guardia Nacional , Policías Estatales y Viales , espero y te sirva esta información amiga Noraly , buena suerte en tú viaje 🤠
There are a lot of homicides in Mexico but, if you aren't involved in the drug trade, it cuts your chances of being a victim by two thirds. Just like here in the US, there are places you avoid going to be safe and she did that. Also, as she said, time of day plays into how safe you are. I am planning to go to Ecuador with the possibility of staying a while. I kept hearing Guayaquil (airport I'd fly to) was dangerous. The woman Itchy Boots talked to in Ecuador told her Guayaquil was dangerous. I checked and their homicide rate is a third of the rate of the city I live in in the US. We can think the world is too dangerous to live in but, one of the biggest reasons I like this channel so much is the message that life is to be lived, be aware of the dangers but, don't let fear steal your life away.
Stay up-to-date with ongoing issues, have a plan B &C mapped out each day, and you will be fine. This part of your journey keeps us on our edge that's for sure! 🙏🏾
The improvised roadblocks in Chiapas were there when I went fifiteen years ago. The locals claim you are on "ejido" land, which is indigenous land, and you must pay a toll to pass. Often it was just some kids with a rope across the road. I drove right through the ones where no one had any official signage. Turns out a truck can break a rope.
@@iansmith6086 I had U.S. plates on my truck so everybody tried to wave me down or make me stop. No visible guns or uniforms, I keep going.
No pasa nada solo es gente de bajos recursos y les das 20 pesos y listo yo quisas 50 pesos y no pasa nada
@@iansmith6086 I tend to agree, and keep the dark goggles on, nothing stands out more than pale skin and bright blue eyes.
@@iansmith6086 What?! If you're talking about the funeral procession, no one was blocking her way--the traffic was slow because it was a 2-lane country road. No need to go barreling through like some entitled jerk/yahoo. The scene may have been a bit perplexing--because of the slowdown--but there was no obvious danger/hazard (take a hint from the surroundings--no one else was acting agitated or scared, and there were plenty of people and other vehicles).
@@kenc2257 I don't think he was talking about any specific time, if you watched the video, there were a few semi blockages, maybe even more that was not shown and I am sure there will be plenty more. What he is suggesting is sound advice, unless someone is standing directly in front of the bike, go through as quickly as you can but do it safely without high speed, the idea is to look as much like a local as you can, not a tourist, that is why I made the comment to keep the goggles on, I know it is a little more difficult with her decked out bike and gopro's but every little bit helps. I done this before and I never came to a stop unless it was a legit police check point.
The late arriver here 😁
It was a simple funeral. Don`t freak out that much guys (I mean it kindly....).
Some bad things can actually happen in Mexico, as in everywhere.
Texas for example, in the "developed" side of the next border (...If you read the news. It was in a school, could have been in a mall).
Nevertheless, as many say here, is always good to be alert and cautious to some extent.
Municipal police is quite usual all around central and south America.
They are not armed, and function basically as local goberment employees, aiding real police with vehicular traffic,and other minor things.
I totally agree with some tacit feeling I sense here, the more untidy they look, the more concerns someone passing trough will have.
Usually the greatest danger with them is geting fined for parking in a wrong place. It`s just another way of giving locals a job.
And regarding that, I liked the sign at the hostel´s door.
"Se ponchan llantas gratis", "Flat tires for free...." 😆
I’d be on edge every minute of your whole trip!
You’re awesome.
A beautiful mountain route because the main route was too dangerous meant a treat of scenery for us. I was pretty nervous for you with all the little road blocks and police presence but you always make sure and you arrived in St Christobal with its coliurful streets safely. Thank you for the journey!❤️

Todays videos was quite scary. Ride safe Noraly.

hope you are well after the storm hit Mexico .I have been watching the news ,good luck. Be safe ,Thanks for the adventure videos
My stomach was in knots for you when those guys were on the road looking real sketchy. 😳

I get the feeling I will watch these videos more then once. Very educational videos
On the edge of your seat, wow! Thank you for showing us that part of Mexico 🇲🇽
Yet another interesting day.
Stay safe and have fun 👍
Courageous attitude,positivity and your personality will go far.
Very nice ride through stunning scenery despite the worrying reports that you read. Very good to take the alternate route and stay alert as you did. Las Casas appears to have all the amenities needed and you found a nice place to stay. Mexico is such a beautiful country and glad that you are staying safe and enjoying your travels northward. Ride safe Noraly!
She manages her adventures very well. My three 👍👍👍.
It's always a good day when I get home to a new episode of Itchy Boots. For me it wil be Iceland or Scandinavia this summer. Lets go.
Go to Scandinavia, Iceland is beyond overrated.
❤️🇨🇦❤️ don’t blame you for being on edge, sometimes you have to be more alert of the people around you, glad all went well.
I look forward to Monday, Wednesday an Friday every week to make sure I tune in. It feels great to see you travel threw many different terrains but my favorite is interaction with the people, the food an the beautiful places you dive in... stay away from the crocodiles!! Safe travels
Mexico, that was unexpected. How wonderful we get to see the real world and not the tourist trail. thank you, take care.
I am extremely concerned about her safety from her first show... She is a very kind lady with a most wonderful personality...we are seeing all those countries thru her eyes... looking forward to see her in USA soon...Go Noraly Go...
It is very nice of you to be worried. I worried for her in the past as well. But, think for a second, 6 seasons in almost all corners of the world without any obvious or more serious incident. This little lady knows how to handle herself and avoid trouble.

4:52 That bridge reminded me of a series of bridges I ran across in a part of the country that was getting a bit icy due to the onset of winter. The roads were clear of ice but wet. The weather was dipping below freezing at night but in the high 30s during the day so ice on the roads were not really a problem, but could be on bridges. As I entered one county I was moving along at about 45 mph on a section of road that was very curvy and as I took a sharp left curve, I was suddenly on a bridge that the county officials thought needed some sand. Problem was that they put about 6 inches of sand on it so I went from riding clean pavement to instantly being on a sandy beach. While that may not have been a problem for cars, as you mentioned in your video, for a bike it drastically and instantly changed my handling to sliding and the front tire wanting to dig in.
I was able to save the bike and keep it upright but it sure got my attention. Every time I came to a bridge in that county, I took it slow and as straight up as possible. Whoever was on the crew that laid down that sand certainly was not a biker.
18:13 Even the -pizza- tortilla delivery guy was confused.
I was on a bus that broke down just outside ocosinco. We were traveling from palenque to comitan. Had to flag down a little truck that took us as far as san Cristobal where we caught a different bus. I wish I could have stayed a bit longer and checked out that town (san Cristobal) it was very nice based on my short stay. Also. Best cheese burger I’ve ever had in my life was at a small restaurant in palenque. A trip I will remember the rest of my life. One of my favourite parts of Mexico. Away from the resorts. You get to see the real life people live. So happy I stumbled across this video. I wasn’t even searching for Mexican travel or anything.
Noraly, por favor anda con mucho cuidado aquí en México, toma tus precauciones con el huracán. Y disfruta mucho.
Estaba pensando en ir a Mexico de vacaiones y hacer un pequenio roadtrip. Pero queria saber si esta clase de bloqueos de carrerteras son normales? deberia preopcuparme? la policia ayuda en algo en esos casos?
Hi Noraly 👋👋👋👋!!! I just wanna say that in San Cristóbal you can find a youtuber and his family with the name VAGABOOM. His name is Denis (he is from Switzerland) his wife and little daughter from Mexico). They are in San Cristóbal at the moment. It would be really nice if you could meet them for a few hours or so (if you don't have much time left) Eating dinner and sharing life travel experiences, or maybe they can show you around a little bit... 😊 They're really nice people and it should be really nice that VAGABOOM 's subscribers can also meet you through them. Good luck girl 🍀! And thank you very much for every single video you share with us!!! I always get so sentimental 🥹🙏🥰👍.
@@Juantotish ¡Ánimo!, eres bienvenido a México cuando gustes. Sólo como comentario, procura no viajar de noche por las carreteras, y en cuanto a los retenes, en algunos lugares son normales. En otros te podrás encontrar con manifestaciones como forma de reclamo a algún gobernante. 🇲🇽
Y sino me equivoco, las personas que encontró Noraly en la carretera pude ser que vayan al panteón o quizás pudo ser alguna procesión camino a alguna iglesia; . Pero cómo se vió en el vídeo no fué por causa de los policías.
También es importante decir que en algunos lugares existe la policía comunitaria. (no es policía puesta por el gobierno, son del mismo pueblo), pero sólo baja la velocidad y abre las ventas del auto para que te vean y no les cauces sospechas, pero ellos cuidan a su mismo pueblo.
Saludos. 😃🤚🤗
@@Juantotish Ese tipo de bloqueos son normales en las regiones del sur, si visitas el pacifico del estado de Colima para arriba y norte del pais no tendras ningun problema en cuanto a eso, claro que existen retenes militares o policiales pero esos si que son normales sobre todo al cruzar de algun estado a otro, de ahi en fuera no debes temer en viajar por Mexico, es un pais muy bonito y acogedor, como trates seras tratado, sean civiles o militares, saludos.
@@Juantotish Hola , soy de Mexico y conozco bien las carreteras , No son normales los bloqueados en la zona sur de Mexico las personas nativas hacen bloqueo de vialidades para manifestarse en contra del gobierno, pero con los turistas son amables , en el norte de Mexico también en ocasiones hacen bloqueos por personas del crimen organizado solo para verificar quién entra y sale de sus zonas que controla hasta la fecha no se comportan violentos . La recomendación es no viajar de noche , tener bien planeada tu ruta igual los números de emergencia .
Another amazing piece. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Always feel like I'm there with you.
You actually feel the emotions watching these videos. I'm sitting here un-tensing my muscles after the road with the 'municipal police'. You have ovaries of steel, Noraly 💪🔥🔥 Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your onward journey!
I can see why you do a lot of travelling early in the morning, it's a good strategy in going through the bad areas. Glad you avoided that road...iOverlander app. It looked like Hurricane Agatha was rolling in as you were filming, luckily it looked like you had a good place to park to protect you from all the wind. They said when Agatha hit land it was a class 2 hurricane with winds up to 169 kilometers per hour. It's evident by todays upload that you are safe and alright *smiles*.
As always, with this posting I now you got thru safely. You are always in my thoughts and prayers 🙏❤🤠
Please please stay safe! Mexico is such a beautiful country but the corruption runs deep..
I am sure her next destination is 100 times worse!
@@Charles-tt3jr Nah, Mexico is far worse. Stop the nonsense.
@@Charles-tt3jr May be due to Mexicans there?
@@KM-leons Mexicans are good people! unlike their filthy criminal neighbors to the north!
@@KM-leons maybe because of cartels?
You know, money talks.
Maybe it's a human flaw, not limited to people of one particular race.
Don't trust anyone Boots, people will take advantage of you be safe Don't be too vulnerable, praying for you 🙏
Great intro!!! I thought you got into some sticky situation and that kept me on the edge of my seat hoping that it will turn out alright and it did of course. Great suspense going through Mexico. The way you film and tell the stories of your adventures is really top notch. Safe travels!!
Wow, beautiful mountain road. I didn't realize there was so much pine forest in that area. And San Cristobal look wonderful with all the colorful shops!
I love to see you ridding across our country showing its magical places, ride safe Noraly! 🤙
What a nice and excited trip today, I love your videos', and Iam a itchy boot junky in the meantime. Bedankt voor the Beautifull day.
Never a dull moment. I am glad that you were able to find fuel and get through that section with the road blocking going on. More spectacular scenery. Safe travels :)
Amazing Trips!
Thank you so much for your videos!!! Always very interesting and informative!!!! Take care of yourself.👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
The one good thing about the tourist areas is they are usually patrolled by Federal Police and sometimes the Marines. It is the local police you sometimes have to worry about. Overall I have had pretty good luck in my travels to Mexico.
Yeah I have friends who tour Mexico all the time on their motorcycles. They've been doing that for over twenty years, and never had any trouble. But they aren't stupid and they research their routes and the current conditions, and they stay out of the bad areas.
*Ms Noraly, PLEASE be safe but no matter where you are on your travels, please go by your gut instincts and be safe. Well done on moving up with the crowd and staying with them... and then sticking with the red car... I am going to assume that you are in contact with your family back in the Netherlands every day as to where you are and what your plans are. Yes when each video is released we know that you are further on in your travels... but no matter where you are please go by your gut instincts and be safe*
Some go clifdiving and other drive through Mexico. :-)
Nice video!
Drive carefully and stay safe.
"Hair today, gone tomorrow"
Best wishes, Ms Itchy Boots n Alaska!
Bueno suerte🌎
love the vlog!
Очередное спасибо, за возможность попутешесвовать, вместе с вами! Очень приятно и познавательно! Удачи, Вам и благополучия!!!
All those old Nissan Sentras bring back good memories. I knew two people who had them and got to drive one. Very light and nimble simple cars.
I am glad you had that App, it made you quite cautious and provided safe alternate routes. Be safe, Be careful, I keep you in my safe prayers daily.
What is the name of that app?
Your videos are addictive, Noraly! Such great content! Thanks for the awesome work filming and editing your magnificent adventures!
I love San Cristobal, my first trip was 1987, not so touristy back then. Still a hive of activism, resistance. I also love Oaxaca.
Better than Netflix thanks for showing us your adventures be careful God bless you
Great respect for your bravery travelling alone. Excellent planning, lots to learn for other travellers.
Hi Noraly, love watching your uploads, keep it coming and please stay safe...
That applies everywhere, specially on places where people have guns btw
What a crazy experience on the way. Glad you navigated that so well. Fist video of yours where the crocodiles were the lesser of your worries.

You did everything right!!! Such a shame that a beautiful country like Mexico has so many internal issues. Hard for the citizens and for the tourists. Keep on your toes and keep smiling!
Safety and "internal issues" is relative. Areas of the US are less safe than many areas of Mexico.
@@stonew1927 Oh, I realize that. I've been to Mexico many times and felt totally safe each time. But this area appears to have its share of danger. Such a shame. It's not a comparison between USA and Mexico and which is the safest. It is a comment on this one particular little area of the world.
Noraly, I was on "pins and needles" as you were traversing the road on your way to San Cristobal. Also experienced some anticipatory anxiety when you were served tap water at breakfast fearing that you might suffer "Montezuma's revenge," diarrhea contracted by some tourists who visit Mexico. Be safe!
Most restaurants - even in rural areas - don’t serve tap water. If it’s not an individual bottle of water, it’s generally bottled water from a big 25 litre “garrafon”.
Thought the exact same ideas! Sometimes her videos make me bite my nails! 😧
tap water ? wtf are you talking about? No one drinks or serve tap water in Mexico. Stop your shit.
I'm sure she is aware of Montezuma's revenge, and only drinks bottled water or treated water. She wouldn't be able to continue riding if she caught that amoebic dysentery stuff, it will put you down for a week, at least.
Beautiful, Prayers for continued safe travels and interactions with those along your journey
It was a pretty nice adventure to make it to San Cristobal with you! Beautiful sceneries, a lot of various riding, good weather, exciting and yummy experiences along the way and thank god you arrived in your accommodation safe and sound! Thanks a lot and i’m looking forward to the next!
