How DANGEROUS is entering MEXICO by CAR??

We're here in Pearsall, Texas, home of the world's largest peanut and we're on our way to Mexico, thank you, less than an hour from the Mexican border and one of the things we like, I said, they don't want. to say unsure but unsure of one of the things we haven't been sure about is which border to process, so there are three quarters to choose between Laredo Colombia and Eagles Pass. There are many considerations about peace of mind. Crossing the border and not having a long line is like one of the main considerations, but also security on the other side of the border, um or even just in the border towns.

I'm not saying that on the other side of the border, obviously, there are things going on. In Mexico from what we hear, you can't really ignore them, but it's not like everywhere in Mexico isn't safe either, but I just try to be aware of what's going on or plan for that, I guess to make the right decision. right now. I've been doing a lot of searching online using Facebook. Community there on the road in Mexico, they talked a lot about just traveling, but they've just been paying attention to what other people have been posting and right now there hasn't been a lot of negative stuff. um although one thing that is pretty common is that people say that Laredo is not the safest route, we are heading to Monterey and we will go to Monterey from where we are in Texas to cross that Laredo is the quickest route and then to the other side from Laredo.

It's the high line here and yes, it's safer on full roads. I think there should be more security, at least at some point we consider Eagle Pass time, so I think it's riskier. So, which intersection are we heading to? And yes, anyway, from Colombia. the air show speakers are crossing it is quieter what is the name of the crossing Colombia solidarity solidarity yes Colombia solidarity we are going to avoid driving through the city of Laredo but then we will travel from Colombia back and it is highway 85 that we travel south on until Monterey Yes, it's a you know, I will say that this part of the trip is the part that makes me the most nervous, but it's not just that I have to clarify because it's not just the uncertainty of what's happening in the area. as far as security or something like that, but of course it's also a border crossing, you know, and I don't know, when I arrive in another country and go through the official process, you know, I get a little anxious about not doing it. knowing that you know, of course they could, I don't know, I don't think they would deny me entry, but they have the right to deny me entry, you know, you know, search the car and it's not like I have anything, but that will slow us down. down and all these things that make me a little anxious, you know, at the border crossing, the next thing we need to do immediately is get my tourist card, my fmm for Mexico, which is like a contemporary Mr Visa as well. import permit for the car, all that is done at the border right after crossing, so I hope I have all my favorite work in order, everything I have read, I think so, I hope the process goes smoothly and not there are problems.

You know, it's like one thing we did to prepare was to see what we can also bring or what I can bring traveling to Mexico. One thing with kind of a question is kayaking, but I don't see why you can't. other people bring different boats or whatever and what we read was: "You can bring a sports team last year or earlier this year. Rafael at the Kayak Club also told me that you can bring a boat and a sports team as well that shouldn't happen." It won't be a problem, but I think, and what we've talked about, I think the thing is that if there is a problem, I would probably just have to pay taxes, so we'll figure it out.

Good morning, thank you, thank you, foreign bird, okay. in the honest columbia international solidarity party, it's there overseas, yes, but i have to do my paperwork. Seen, let's stop there and we can ask him. Okay, so the paperwork is done. We'll go back to the car and tell you everything. We crossed the Columbia Bridge, everything was very smooth, there were two or three lanes that cars could pass through. We had a green arrow, we drove straight, parked the car, then we entered the office, so there is a building and then inside the building there is an office.

On one side of the building which is for immigration in the middle there is a small shop with a photocopier and then on the other side of the building is the vehicle import office so first I went to immigration and got my fmm for 180 days and then I was. I went to the Store to get photocopies, got a photocopy of my passport, my fmm and the vehicle registration, then went to the next office and did the vehicle import permit. I gave the photocopies to the employee and he took care of all the paperwork, so I got a physical paper copy. of my temporary import permit for the car and I also received an email so he asked me for a phone number and an email address so they sent him an email and that email is also a copy of the permit importing the vehicle, which is great because it is now available. my phone too, so yeah, if I ever lose the paper copy, I have the email too, so yeah, again, we're traveling south now to Monterey, we have about two hours of travel left and yeah, road conditions are good so far so I will continue
