Driving in Mexico by Maximilien

Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Mexico? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excessÂ… what are the characteristics of the driving style ...

Craig Bradshaw

Craig Bradshaw

yes it is safe. The two most popular places to live are going to be either Cancun or Playa Del Carmen. The short answer may be that Playa is safer, but only becuase it is smaller. Cancun is a bigger city, has more people living here so of course ... Read More
