• Answer:

  Sounds like you want to see the land. Be sure to put $1500.00 in your bank account if you are going to Bus around like I have done. These days you can use an ATM to take out the cash needed for your trip. You won`t spend that much unless you want to. You will need a lot more information if you are driving. I did the Baja on my old Harley......what a blast! (1975) It would be wise to carry some traveller`s checks and leave the serial numbers with a friend or family member that can be faxed to AMEX pronto. Keep in mind there are several affordable accommodations (Hotels) very close to All Bus terminals in Mexico. It would also be wise to leave the Border Zone asap and in the early morning on a week day to increase your safety. If you are on the west side of Mexico, the tren in the Copper Canyon should not be missed. Mexican Buses are some of the Best in the world when travelling Interstate. All are air conditioned and WIFI equipped and again very inexpensive. In fact I don`t think there is a Bus fare of more than $200.00 usd in Mexico. If you happen to get to Guadalajara there is a small train that takes you on a Tour of the Tequila factories and Bodegas. It`s about 30 kn north. Any of the Coastal cities are reasonable except for the Yucatan state where there are tourist traps for someone on a budget. Buen Viaje Jim
