[quote=”loraine”][quote=”maxdevil”]I want to drive from Los Angeles to Costa Rica at the end of May, beginning of June 2013. I want to bring my vehicle and my dogs to Costa Rica. A friend of mine who is Spanish speaking will do the trip with me, along with a caravan of people traveling from Los Angeles to the various countries located between the USA and Costa Rica. Central-American families (now living in California) going back “home” to visit their families during summer vacations. Has anyone done that in the past? If so, can you comment on this plan?

We met a group of guys a couple of years back that drove from the states and they made it ‘all right’, however, Mexico was difficult. They wouldn’t let them drive through Mexico without an ‘escort’. Basically, they gave them $1000+ to be allowed to drive through.
You are taking a huge chance. You have no idea what it’s going to cost you in the end should you meet people like this at the borders…not to mention your safety.[/quote]
** Wow, What are the alternatives then to get your vehicles down from Cali to CR..? I have some restored vehicles but after reading this I don’t want to chance it driving through Mexico. They could confiscate them and that’s the last thing I need..
