Convoy/Caravan to Belize from TX?

I plan to cross border at Brownsville, TX first week of Nov 2024 and Into Belize at Chetumal, MX. I would like to take the quickest route and get on the road each day by daybreak. I am hoping to cross into Belize at the end of the third day of driving if possible. Prior service military. Safety in numbers.

For safety reasons, I would stay away from Tamaulipas and Nuevo León, and cross at Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras or Del Rio/Ciudad Acuña.

Stay on toll roads. Take your time, and try to enjoy the drive.

A good route would be the #29 from Acuña/#57 from Piedras Negras to Allende where you can get FMM and TIP. Although both are available at either crossing.

From Allende the 57/57D will take you past Saltillo, Matehuala, San Luis Potosí,  Querétaro, all the way to the Arco Norte (bypass of Mexico City).

Leaving the Arco Norte you will merge onto the #150D coming from Mexico City. Follow that past Puebla, Orizaba, Córdoba. Just past Tenaja get on the #145 to Minatitlan. From there it's the #180 to Villahermosa, then the #186 to the Subteniente Lopez turnoff (border) west of Chetumal.

Typically border brokers don't work on weekends, in case you are importing your vehicle/contents.

Insurance office just past the border compound might also be closed on weekends.

Remember to cancel your TIP to get your deposit back, before leaving Mexico.

I just might join you. Seeing what tomorrow brings.
