Marty, we suggest that you contact the good people at Yucatan Expatriate Services (www.yucatanyes.com) or at least look at the website. There is a shipper, Linea Peninsular, that advertises on that website that can ship your car, as we understand it.

Has anyone shipped a vehicle from the US, especially Texas, to Progreso or any other port in the region? I am looking for alternatives to driving the 1900 miles from the border given the current “troubles”. I understand there is a company (Linea) from Panama City, Florida, which will ship to Progreso for a reasonable charge but that is a long drive from our home in Colorado.

Hi my wife and I built a hacienda here in Tulum, and plan to bring a light truck down here from Seattle. Any suggestions on good routes to take or places to avoid on route. Initially I planned on a straight route via Juarez, and through the center. Then I got to thinking it may be better to head further East through Texas and head down through Monterrey. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Bob, in Mexico, there are handicapped parking spaces in some places. We are not sure if your California placard would be recognized here, but if it’s not too much trouble, you could bring it along and try. In general, you aren’t going to get too much advantage from it here, however.
