Join us on the ultimate adventure as we journey southbound from Alaska to Argentina along the Pan-American Highway! In this week's episode, we delve into the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture of Mexico.
Our journey begins with an exploration of Zapotitlan's enchanting cacti forests, followed by a visit to Cascadia Cocalzingo's stunning box canyon and towering waterfall*. Next, we immerse ourselves in the rich textile traditions and culinary delights of Oaxaca, where we embark on a quest for the perfect blanket for those hot spring nights.
But the real adventure begins when we encounter grasshoppers in the market. Will we muster the courage to try this local delicacy? Join us as we navigate the bustling streets and taste the unexpected flavors of Mexico.
As if that weren't enough, we marvel at the sheer size of the Arbol Del Tule, a tree so massive it defies belief. And no trip to Mexico would be complete without a visit to Teotitlan, renowned for its handwoven rugs. Spoiler alert: we even acquire a rug small enough to fit our Revel van!
But the journey doesn't stop there. We brave the long and rumored-to-be-dangerous drive to *Chiapas*, where we spend a night at Hogar Infantil a Mexican children's orphanage, using the time to catch up on much-needed Sprinter van maintenance.
Join us for a wild ride through the diverse landscapes and daily challenges faced by Pan-American overland travelers. It's a trip of a lifetime down the longest drivable road in the world, and you won't want to miss a moment!
This is part of the Southbound series, in which Peter and Kathy drive the Pan-American from Dead Horse/Prudehoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, at the bottom of South America. This will be the road trip of a lifetime.
