How DANGEROUS is entering MEXICO by CAR??
OUR ROAD TRIP DRIVING TO MEXICO FROM CANADA - Driving across the border into Mexico
In this video we continue our road trip driving to Mexico, starting where we left off. After spending the night in Pearsall Texas, we continued to drive to the Mexico border. This was the point of the trip that made us both the most nervous but you'll need to watch the video to see what happens.

Nothing better than a smooth border crossing. I'm sure you'll be fine the rest of the way but good luck anyway! Stay safe.

I understand the nerves crossing into another country... but that seemed efficient and speedy. Good to know I'd Sandy and I ever decide to do a road trip!

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

I'm not sure why I'm surprised that the border crossing was so quiet, but that was pretty easy. Thanks, Jason.

[@mbaxter22]

I've personally crossed at Eagle Pass \ Piedras Negras twice in the last two years, at night, with zero issues. I can't vouch for Laredo, but for Piedras Negras and Mexico in general, the danger is incredibly overhyped.

[@cindyk3076]

You're approaching Mexico with California Dreamin on the radio, lol. The border crossing went smoothly for you, good choice to cross at Columbia. It didn't seem to take a lot of time with immigration either which makes your lives easier. Safe travels to Monterrey!

[@ismaellopez3860]

Hello just happened to see your video what type of documents in regards to the vehicle did they ask for

[@user-hv9sg5pl8b]

The problem isn't the border crossing, the problem is the shake downs that the police conduct. I was in Tijuana less than 30 minutes before I got shaken down. I immediately got back in line to re-enter the USA - I will NEVER go back to Mexico until they get the police under control. The cartels are the least of your worries.

[@cliffm6566]

Very interesting vid! I’m residente temporale so am allowed to bring my car into Mex for the duration of my residente, which is up to 4 years. Everyone says Columbia is the best if you are coming from Texas but I am coming in through Nogales so need to see what that’s like!

[@JS-jh4cy]

So dangerous folks, you may enjoy the ride

[@loraineriddell7157]

Jason, I'm hearing you about border crossings. Try crossing between Zimbabwe and South Africa 😲. Now that's an experience that's hard to forget. The corruption is off the Richter scale and the palpable dislike of anyone with a skin colour that's white is scary. I'm glad it all went well.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Rhodesia… just kidding. I had friends who grew up in Rhodesia before it became Zimbabwe. And yeah, no thanks, I’ll skip that crossing 😳 I can only imagine

[@loraineriddell7157]

@@TrailguidePictures Rhodesia is where I'm from. Living in Tasmania now.

[@hrmacdonald4471]

Smooth border crossing... what did they say about the kayak? I would like to do this trip someday on motorcycle. Looking forward to your next video's.

[@TrailguidePictures]

They actually didn’t say anything about it.

[@pierre-rose7783]

Always hated any border crossing by car !

[@trishawebb7885]

Well said I went to Nogales, Mexico it is busiest and people is so mean. Never go back ever again. I went to San Luis Colorado River sooo different than Nogales. Pretty much full security. I love drive thru pass border. I heard it is dangerous. Sad day. I guess make a fly over.

[@paulinatomczak8874]

Side note: any issues with wifi/ GPS once over the border?

[@TrailguidePictures]

It depends on what provider you use. My Canadian service with USA roaming stopped as soon as I crossed the boarder. I now have a Mexican service provided that uses AT&T

[@catherinemelnyk]

I think we can make ourselves paranoid. It's good to be aware of your surroundings though. You could have flown in. I've read they hsve cheap taxi's and bus service is good.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Difficult to fly with a kayak

[@catherinemelnyk]

@@TrailguidePictures Well with the money you would have saved on GAS you could have bought one in Mexico. I don't appreciate the sarcasm.

[@eliseosalcedo3099]

Bus is a safe way to cross the border, but you have to be patience, a lot of time is lost while waiting for 40 persons to do their paperwork.

[@catherinemelnyk]

@@eliseosalcedo3099 Hi, no I meant they could have flown in then did local errands by taxi or by bus. Thank you.

[@leonesyu]

[@geraldarnoult]

How DANGEROUS? its not for the average person, lots of U.S. hype about the dangers

[@TrailguidePictures]

Well, this is false too. There are PLENTY of places where local Mexicans don't and advise not to travel to or through.

[@cambiandomexico611]

Well, nothing out of the ordinary. Looks just like the rest of North America. I was expecting blood and a third world country.

[@TrailguidePictures]

It looks like Alaska or Nova Scotia?

[@robertjosan]

If concerned for your safety why travel through, sounds like you’re looking for trouble . You think by going around Lorado that criminals have not thought that other tourists will do that, use same strategy and be waiting for you on the less traveled road .
