How easy (and expensive) would it be to do a backpacking trip through Mexico/Central America?

brex25 asked:


I want to do some traveling this summer and I’m on a budget so I’m looking into backpacking trips. I’ve always wanted to travel through Mexico. Is it possible and advisable to backpack through Mexico? I found this website called Bamba Experience that has Hop On/Off travel passes on a bus network for travelers.

    You had better research your route very carefully! Mexico and Central America are dangerous places to be. There is a lot of unrest in those countries. WHile it is beautiful it is very important to amke sure you are safe. I would get with a travel agent that is familiar with this type of travel and get their advice/ Good Luck

    Have no clue on the cost, but it honestly is very dangerous in those countries. Esp, for people from out of town. People from churches,schools,tourist have been robbed and murdered on the tour buses while traveling thru these countries.

    the cost is low if you’re not picky on what you eat
    and cost is low if you travel by bus

    it’s not very dangerous like other people mentions
    mexicans are very nice and it’s illegal to own guns, so it’s safe.
