Got some loose plans for a trip to Mexico on my way home from Australia to Canada.
Cheapest flight is into San Diego and go by land down the Baja peninsula. Fly from Cabos into Mexico city and either take the coast through to Yucatan (Vera Cruz, Tabasco, etc.) or the interior through Palenque, Chichenitza, Mayan ruins generally etc.) to Yucatan.

Want to see the coolest stuff. Have a lot of travel/adventure experience, prefer to lose the tourist route, but also see the coolest shit (small towns, tequila, kahlua, Mariachi bands, grottos, ruins etc.).

Dont know the danger zones but I reckon we will be more or less ok if we keep our wits about us.

Two of us, me and my partner (male and female Canadians) speak French, English and a decent amount of Spanish between the two of us.

Cheers for the help.
