Traveling Central America in the wet season
Hi everyone,
I’ll be hitting the road for an extensive overland journey on my DR650 starting at the end of May leaving from California and am planning on heading south through Central America first. Unfortunately I made the assumption that Mexico and Central America would have a similar dry season to here in CA. Very recently did I find out that May-October is ACTUALLY the rainy season there. So now I’m a bit thrown off as to what I should do, considering my housing situation and work situation are both coming to an end in May. It feels like my two best options are;
1. Head south in May like originally planned and deal with the rainy season, or...
2. Cruise around the States and Canada for a few months and then head south in August or September.
I’d prefer to stick with the original plan but I can’t tell if heading off into Central America’s rainy season is “adventurous” or just plain stupid. Has anyone traveled Mexico/Central America during this time of year? Sticking around the states for a few months sounds quite expensive.
Any advice would be thoroughly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
