Distance: 4,070 km (2,530 mi)

Mazatlán, where I arrived by ferry from Baja California. Guadalajara, where I met Karine, one of my best friends who came from France to spend three weeks on the road with me. A day visit in Tequila, inevitable. Guanajuato. Querétaro. You can see pictures from this first if you click here.

Then direction Mexico (also named D.F. - Distrito Federal - because in Spanish México designate both the capital city and the country). See also an article written by Karine and the pictures of Teotihuacán, ancient city close to Mexico.

We hit the road again towards Puebla and spent a couple of days in Pahuatlán. An other article written by Karine with pictures.

Last, the State of Oaxaca (article and pictures here). The city of Oaxaca. The ancient city of Monte Albán. Puerto Escondido, on the Pacific coast. Acapulco, where Karine took her return flight to France on Thuesday. Zipolite, on the beach. And back to Oaxaca this Monday for the Guelaguetza and celebrate these first 6 months (and nearly 20,000 km / 12,500 mi) without problems.

Then, I will cross the isthmus of Tehuantepec, which opens the door to Central America. Yes! do not forget that Mexico is part of North America. Before leaving Mexico, I still have to visit Chiapas and the Yucatán peninsula. Then, it will be the turn of all the small States that separate Mexico from Colombia.
