Best transport / way to travel through Mexico to Central America and South America?
Quote from tj on February 6, 2025, 12:25 pmHey guys,
My friend and I are looking at travelling through Mexico and Central America to South America and was wondering what is the cheapest and best type of transportation to do so? I know we will have to fly to get to most of the different countries but was wondering if there was any overnight trains or buses which would be cheaper then flying?
Thanks Heaps 🙂

Obviously that is a long way! You are looking at least 4 months if not more, if you actually want to see some of the more interesting things on the way.
There are no and its best to do a LOT more research before you attempt something like this. Tours will be more expensive but can be much easier especially if you don't speak Spanish.
