No need to fear Mexico! A travel summary
A continent full of dangers, corrupt police and cartel violence at every corner? Before our journey through Latin America, we were constantly warned. After three years in the Land Cruiser and 34 checks in Mexico, we can share a surprising conclusion: why the reality on the roads looks completely different to what you see in the media – and the 3 golden rules that saw us through safely.
Three whales, three worlds
Three very different whales, an endless ocean and the ticking of the clock. Off the coast of Baja California, we experience a truly special whale safari.

Teotihuacan and Palenque
Mexico’s differences can be seen in nature, among the people, but also in their history. We visited the dry Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico and the lush Palenque in the southern jungle.
