Your link doesn't appear to be working (for me, at least).

Mark, the problem was an extra http:// in the link - the software has that "pre-filled in" and highlighted for you when you click the link to make a link - usually you can just paste the full url in and it's fine. Have a look when you make a link and watch for that - you can always edit it if needed.

I rode from Palenque to San Christobal on a m/c about 16 months ago. The road was eerily quiet, even then.

What a tragedy! A local friend tells me murders of locals are common and just not reported. Now tourists are the target too.

Mexico - It's not Kansas Toto
 
It was a deadly section in '97 when I went through. After I had done so, locals told me I should not have - this warning was after the horse was out of the barn and was pre-Internet. Seems it's still a deadly hot spot. Two fellows on bicycles would have been an easy target - motorcycles move a lot faster.


Advice: no area for camping


Sage advice from a more recent motorbike traveler: Avoid if going solo.

How sad. Mexico has some very violent pockets. I was in San Cristobal a few years ago, but came from Guate at the Mesilla border. I didn't realize that it was that bad in that area.
