Wheeling trip Nuevo Leon, Mexico

[Patrolin]

This isn't everyone's cup of tea so i'm not expecting much. In a few weeks or so I am planning on driving to the mountains in Monterrey. The plan is still in the works but i will most likely use this hotel (http://coladecaballo.com/) as a staging area with a goal of reaching this waterfall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onjM1Qldph4). From there we can loop back through other villages and return to the homeland.

I have already mocked up a route, i'm expecting about a 10 hour drive to the hotel and 2 (no pavement) from there to the waterfall. I have done quite a bit of research and this place seems nothing short of breathtaking not to mention the cultural exposure over there. This will be about a 3-4 day trip with wheeling and obviously crossing an international border (passport required). I am most likely planning on taking a Fri and Mon off from work.

Is anyone wanting to join in your own vehicle? (reliable, highway friendly, mexico friendly)

If you want to see more of the area this is the closest town to the waterfall

That sounds like an awesome trip.

Are you taking bikes or a truck?

I have always wanted to explore South of our border and have been waiting for the right time to do this trip.
The plan is to go the truck route. It would be nice to have another vehicle come along but its not a necessity. The area is known for its rock crawling but I plan to keep the off-roading to a minimum for safety and vehicle reliability reasons.

Budget in bribe money and plan on kiestering an extra hundred in small bills to get home when you get carjacked.

Looks like it could be a fun trip, but there's still tons of places in the US I haven't been where I don't have to worry about traffickers and political instability

Jealous, if I had a rig that could handle the trip I would love to go.

Well I survived.

I will be updating the thread on expo as I wade into the semester. Maybe next time some TAMOR members can join.

Cheers
