Costa Rica Road Map

I love to travel in my van, in Central America. Is this a bad idea in reality? Is this dangerous?

In addition, how are the ways of Mexico by Costa Rica? I flew, but never wrote. How can I find maps? Are there any restrictions for foreigners or foreign vehicles? What about the rest – are not? And gas is expensive there now? Thank you for all the help you can provide. And if please, that the questions of those who have experience in this field.

The gas is cheaper in every sense of the word. Make sure your truck works well before going, and make sure you are aware of how to do certain things for yourself – change the oil filter, etc., etc., I had a friend took Buses and flights if needed, Los Angeles, California, through Central America all the way to Argentina … Short of money, taught English while living in a home .. earn enough money for a flight back … had a good time adventure. He also a college degree, knows a little love in Spanish, people and easy going. I think these characteristics are important to make a trip like you describe. In addition, it does not have to worry about transportation problems because he did not in his own vehicle. Therefore, another idea for you to think. The routes through Central America and South vary from decent to shit. Be ready with spare tire or two. No rest "stops" in these countries. Just be sure to find areas do not cause problems to anyone and it should go. Even if you parked on a road and sleep, not much. The good thing is they have so many laws on the little things like … So you not so many laws on small things like that – taken into account. Try to have the same common sense that this would have on life in the United States, and should not be problems. Make sure you are good to others and which takes you further than you can imagine. Get maps from AAA. They have all the cards and are good prices. couple different ways to conduct road show. Take them to the consulate of each country is going through and ask questions about the cities should keep in mind – Who have abnormal levels of crime … and note that either redesign your driving accordingly roads. Take essential steps as a propane stove, water, boil in a bag of rice, packaged snack foods, canned foods and utensils to open, eating and cooking. Save entry for sections of road where you will find no food … when you see small restaurants, common sense. You can not eat meat does not seem to have meat around area …. eat rice, beans and tortillas instead. Do not eat anything that requires water. It can be used to good water quality. If you are a fishing village, remember not to eat the fish you see the kitchen – fried or frying pan – make sure it is cooked. At least you know what happened recently because they are by the ocean. Buy local supermarkets when you can. You'll save money. Be sure to wash the local laundry mat when possible. One of the problems in the transport of this kind is the high rate of scabies or something similar. And Once infected by things like clothes, they infect your truck around too! Not good! My husband and I drive from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas a few years (the length of the Baja California). We address, surf camp and stay for about two weeks. The gas and low-end to us costs about $ 1,000.00. The gas is spending money on most cases. It is a mile round trip, 1500, in a 2000 Ford F-150 – and make very good mileage. It is a great trip. You can take an overnight ferry from Cape Town to the mainland of Mexico and continue his journey from there. Many people do, so instead of driving through the deserts of northern Mexico. The ferry from Mazatlan.

Roads don’t always have bridges (costa rica!)
