Chicago to Panama end of November. MX Safety?
Hello folks. Tim here from Chicago. I plan to ride a Triumph 800 Tiger from Chicago via St Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, San Diego, then down the west coast of MX to Guatemala. I have been to Guatemala all over 3 weeks and really just want hit the highlands and Nebaj areas, friends in Atitlan, then down to E.S for some surf around El Tunco, possibly Sochitoto, then to spend time in Nicaragua, mainly the north as I have done the south by bus. I have been to Honduras for scuba diving Bay Islands, so plan to skip it and maybe get bike on a cargo boat across Bay Fronseca to Polasi Nica and then inland from there to Sandanista/Estelli areas... Costa Rica have a lot of friends but have been there a zillion times, so want to head to Panama and check it out, maybe go down Pacific side and back up caribe side to CR.
I have 8 weeks, a rush I know, as I have to get back to Chicago. I was thinking of going up east coast of MX after a little Yucatan ruins (been to Tikal but, not Livingston/Rio Dulce or Tulum).
Whats your thoughts on this grand plan? Is 6-8 days in MX on west coast too fast? What issues/dangers/areas I should avoid?
