We Almost Got Killed in Mexico | EP 26 | OVERLAND WAY

- We almost got killed in Mexico. It's the first and only time we've feared for our lives on this trip. The area in the state of Chiapas is known for its lawlessness, and unfortunately we were in the wrong place, at the wrong time with a camera. The locals did NOT like it.
Despite what happened we still believe that Mexico is a safe and friendly place to travel to. This experience will not stop our adventure, only make us a little more wary.

Guys, we just feel like it's worth sharing how we feel about this episode and traveling through Mexico in general. Mexico, like any other third world country, has it's many problems... but for each reason not to go there we can think of another 10 to go and visit that amazing country. We are incredibly thankful to Mexico and its people, first of all for letting us travel through so many beautiful places, but mainly for receiving, treating and looking after us so incredibly well. This event, yet hugely distressful, has not changed our perception at all! Would we go back there? We would indeed!
Last time I checked, there was only one world, with some developed* countries, some developing* countries, and some under developed* countries.
People like to use the word, first world country, because it makes them feel better. And most people don't even know why and how those definitions started.
By the numbers with no judgement. Average murder rates per 100,000 people. The numbers tell a story.
Mexico murder rate 22/100,000 (2018 Interior Department);
United States 5/100,000 (2018 NyTimes - source FBI and sample of local police departments);
Canada 1.68/100,000 (2015 Stats Canada);
Australia 1/100,000 2013-2014 (Crime Statistics Reporting - Australian Gov).
Variance in rates in a country depends on where you are with some locales in a country obviously more safe than other locations.
Thanks for sharing your harrowing story in what seems like an otherwise amazing trip.
Overland Way I’m Hispanic, and i wouldnt even go through places overlanders take. Its WAY more dangerous , not many hear about it cause Media people get forced to be quiet. aask people who are native to see what paths to go though.
keosh777 They have so much deaths they stop reporting, they just get picked up and dumped in the morgue and ashed.
Mexico is not a third world country you asshole! If you dont like it get the hell out and dont comeback!..playing stupid or supperior is not going to take you nowhere.They had a big sign telling you have to pay if you want to cross our land.Remember YOU were the trsspassers!
It’s Carlos from Veracruz Mexico. I just met you on my local store. You guys are an incredible couple, it’s great and lovely that you are traveling around the World together, what an Amazing story.
I’m so sorry and ashamed that you had to go through these, but I think it’s most good people than bad guys.
Thanks for sharing, sincerely. Your new friend from Mexico
CL
Hey Carlos, it was great meeting you too! Don't be ashamed... the few bad ones we met along the way make no dent to the amazing histories and time we've shared with all the incredible individuals who we crossed paths with! Thank you for having us in your beautiful country! We loved it!
First of all, gracias paisano Carlos por disculparte en nombre de todos nosotros. También soy jarocho, y que pena que les haya tocado pasar por esto. As Carlos said, we apologize for this, guys. It's been more than 2 years, so I'm hoping you guys had more good than bad experiences in my country. Keep it going!
So glad you guys shared this. Too many world travelers don’t acknowledge the dangers that are real in the world. Great attitude about it as well. Best of luck with the rest of your journey. Be safe and have fun!
Thanks, mate. We try our bests to share our real experiences and even though we feel like this might discourage others (when it shouldn't!), we thought it had to be shared! All the best!
WOW! A lot to learn from this experience! Thanks for sharing it.
Mexico is a country with intense social and political problems - not to mention drug gangs, somewhat similar to Brazil. When I have to go through it I plan to use main roads only, not secondary, unless locals say it is safe, just to keep some distance from this kind of situation. It might be not that pretty but it seems to be "safer". But sometimes it is inevitable.
Don't show a camera, always carry some money for the corrupts and bandits - in small cash bills, not big bills. Keep their money on a separate part of your wallet/purse. This way they'll understand you don't carry "big" money. They want money and keep on practicing their "job" freely. So, don't threaten them by filming - it might be too late for you when they understand you're not from police or else.
Breathe deeply, try to relax, don't do fast movements, always have your hands in their vision, always warn them about your movements. This way you reduce the chances of things going wrong. Also, smile, "don't understand" everything they're saying, you're just a "dumb tourist" in the wrong place. They're not looking for trouble, only for money, Don't offend their "masculinity" trying to be "smart" under their point of view and everything'll be fine.What's important: you're all safe and with a new experience to digest. That's real world - a small part of it, thank God.
One more suggestion - you never exactly how things are. So, always ask the police, border officers which places and zones are to be avoided.
Keep riding! 99.9% of the people you'll meet are 100%! And I believe you've already met the other 0.1% so, the Sun'll be shining again!
Have a VERY nice trip, enjoy the road! And keep sharing your adventure with us!
try not recording people's faces without asking
I think there are three main lessons to be learned from this video. Firstly, don't take 199 through Ocosingo for the near future (and possibly longer). Take the long way through Villahermosa instead or possibly 307 along the Guatemala border. Many online forums warn of the road blocks along 199 around Ocosingo. There aren't many places in Mexico with problems like this fortunately.
Secondly, it's probably a bad idea to openly film an illegal road block - it's almost guaranteed to raise some hackles. Be friendly, don't have much in your wallet so you can show them how poor you are (like you did with the 'police') and be respectful. Call them 'jefe' so they feel like they are in control and will fee comfortable.
Third, don't drive away - there might be firearms in the crowd. Try to get away with paying a 'mordita' that you won't miss. The only time this is not really a good idea is if it's real police, in which case you can often get off paying nothing if you ask for a ticket - lots of information on this subject on the net.
Good job talking things out with the three 'police' at the end.
It may be one tiny moment for you but it could have been your last. Back in the late 70's I was driving my VW bus in Mexico. I was stopped by a roadblock of cars and my bus was surrounded by about a dozen men with automatic weapons. None of the men looked official. For some reason they thought I had guns in the bus. I thought this was it and I would never be heard from again. After they searched the bus and found nothing, they let me go. I've never been back to Mexico since and never will .
What a scary experience! I'm glad you survived it! Have a great day!
You were likely in no danger (unless you were smuggling arms or drugs). There are several reasons a road block like this happens. First is local people who have had enough of gangs in their area and want to stop them because the police are likely in their pockets already. Second is narcos looking for other narcos. Rarely is this a problem for the average driver as neither group wants attention from federales who would investigate should something happen to you.
its a shit scummy country anyways. nooooo wayyy would I vanlife travel into a country full of inbred misfits and get treat like that even though they come to our countries and get all special treatment from us. sorry OVERLAND guys but you just put me entirely off south America travel. il stick to northern territories
Wow! You guys stood your ground, faced your fears and didn't look back! It is admirable that you maintained your composure in such an encounter. Hats off to the Overland Warriors of Peace! Well done!
Im afraid i would have acted way worse and kept driving until im at nearest airport... while all tires were blown, engine smoking and nearly destroyed. Then walked wife and dog to the gate, purchased tickets, left. Lol, u guys rock. You acted on your gut instincts, and were still cool and collected. Glad you are safe. How is the forcast looking ahead?
That was definitely in my mind!! Just to keep rolling until we couldn't possibly continue anymore. But the road was wet and without one rear tire we were risking a car accident. We were so close to getting it replaced before they arrived. That would have been the best! But we are all good, that's what matters.
To be entirely honest with you we are kinda sick of Central America, looking forward to reaching South America to continue our journey. Things here are just too unorganised for our liking... and remember I am Brazilian born and raised. o.0
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing about this terrible encounter. I had wondered if you'd come across any bad people or situations and how you dealt with it. It sounds like your instincts were good because it could have been much worse if they would have gotten you out of the car. Scary scary!!!! I'm glad the experience didn't make you lose your sense that most people are kind and that it didn't sour your overall attitude. Most people are kind! You both seem like such good young people and I hope that's the worst problem you'll have and that the rest of your travels are full of of nothing but beauty and goodness!
Thanks, Chris! It would be rather unfair of us if after 2 years on the road we let this one single experience dictate our perception of the world and its people. Our 700+ days on the road have been filled with amazing experiences, the best of which are all related to the people we met. So it won't be the bad few that will blur that. The message here is... be aware and smart... but don't let fear stop you from living your life. Have a great day!
Not stopping saved your lives, you did the right thing pinning it past the crowd. and again i reckon the fact that you guys speak Spanish was your saving. safe travels
Thanks, Terry! Have a great day!
We had a similar situation occur about 10 years ago on the way to San Felipe in Baja. Four men, 2 with what I think were machine guns, stopped us on a lonely road and asked us for a $50 toll to pass. We were so scared that we paid the $$ and turned back north and headed home. Haven't returned to Mexico since and after seeing what happened to you guys, I will never go back. Too many people just vanish, never to be seen again. I'm glad we both got out okay, but it's a lesson to the wise: why take such a dangerous risk, just stay out!
Hey guys must people don't know this but most good quality mud tires can run without air for many miles. I've always had MT tires mostly because of that. The sidewalks are usually strong enough to keep their shape with no air at slow speeds (less than 30mph). If mud tires are too agressive for your stile then at least BFGs KO2 tires will hold. I say this from experience, not for advertising. Keep on with your videos, I really enjoy them!
Thanks for the tip Eduardo!
I don't know if anyone else has told you, but, the wrap is very flashy. Don't call attention to you in Mexico. Be safe
It's true... but we found it also work the other way around... some people think it's a work vehicle.
I've traveled a lot around the world but there are a number of places I'd never visit...Mexico is right up there.
You should give it a shot! It's an unbeliveable country! So awesome! Our favourite still!
Fizeram muito bem de divulgar o video! Parabéns por não terem se abatido a ponto de desistirem tanto do País México que tem tanta coisa linda, quanto de viajarem sem perder a alegria!
Admiro vocês! Deus os acompanhem...Alegria. .
Valeu, pessoal! Grande abraço!
What did was not stupid at all - it was the best decision to make to drive away from that toll road. You can drive for a while on a flat (as you found out) so get your butts out of the danger and then worry about the tires.
Wow how scary! So glad you made it through ok. It's unfortunate that those situations exist in the world. I'm glad to see you're not letting it stop you. I hope all your travels are safe from now on.
Thanks, NateDogg22 ! All the best from us!
Dang guys. Heavy stuff. I'm impressed with your impulse to keep getting the camera out. We definitely didn't film some stuff that we wish we would have because of the situations feeling tense or sketchy. And I would have been pretty annoyed if I was in that situation, feeling like you were and Amie started filming me instead of helping while I was trying to change the tire. Kudos for your commitment.
I felt like chopping Michaela's head of a couple of times, that's for sure lol But at least we have the videos to share now! And we are alive... so thank God.
OK. so it's not just me😅
I am about to start editing through a section of Guatemala footage that involves us being attacked by some drunk guys with stones and rebar. (our 1 violent experience of the trip) I would have been angry with her for filming then, but now I'm wishing we had the footage to share.
Anyway, Keep up the good work.
White folks driving through Chiapas in a painted-up SUV. Unreal.
I love your videos and Im so sad for yor bad experience in Mexico..but please let me give you my opinion in order to explain what happen over there for future reference for travelers in Mexico.1. On that part of my beloved country Live very poor people that ask for money... They were asking you for money because They were upset whith the goverment. They are not bad people at all. Thats for sure. They are just oppresed people and has no education. (Bad people carry guns and because you run away you could be killed). Everything went wrong for 1 reason... you were recording. (In the future Please stop recording people doing bad things that applies on all countries) at least dont be so obvious. Unless you love that kind of experiences. As you experience on your traveling through mexico... every body wants to help you and if you met people they want to take care of you.. ENJOY your amazing life... thank for Share.
Thank you for providing a real explanation of the situation in Ocosingo. Many people are ignorant of the long history of oppression for people in rural Chiapas.
Thanks forshowing this. I was in baja solo and was a bit tipsy but going back again this winter and a bit to mainland puerto vallarta. Safe travels!
It's part of life on the road! It doesn't make it any more special, though!
Overland Way yah shit happens. It can happen even in state depending which neighbourhood you drive into
Horrible situation. I would have done the exact same thing, protect your family and yourself.
Scary shit guys, glad you ok......... a mere experience of a blip in time that you will just learn from. We gotta have downs in life to feel how good the ups are I say. Hows Taco?
Thanks guys!
I’m so glad you guys are ok.
Unfortunately, that sort of things can happen in Central and South America. We are glad that you are safe and that nothing more serious happened to you. Be safe, keep the good vibes going on :)
Thanks, guys! Have a great day!
Hello to you both. I have loved watching your journey. It is such a shame things like this happen, I'm so glad you are ok. What else can you do but push on and don't let bad people spoil your happy times. Take care. John Carlton. UK.
Thanks, John! Have a great day!
Meu Deus que tenso! Mas graças a Deus vcs estão bem! Isso foi realmente muito chocante! Infelizmente temos que acatar certas coisas para nós mantermos em segurança.
Parabéns pela coragem! E por compartilhar conosco. Abraço Thais e Diego
Valeu, pessoal! Abraços!
wow that looked like a very scary experience - glad you're ok. Now back onto the rest of the trip and put it behind you :)
Totally right! Learning is part of it too! Have a great day!
Thank god you guys are ok.stay safe.👍
So sad, a country so beautiful with so much violence and uncertainty...You are brave, and gladly safe
Wow ! Well you now have some new skills to help you deal with future conflicts. I guess the overlanding forums help you a lot to know where problem areas are and how to deal with them. I have no idea but wonder if your new vinyl makes you more of a target ? Glad you are still positive and enjoying what is such a wonderful experience.
Hi Neil, we can't tell how helpful iOverlander is as tool for keeping safe. Not only we are able to find safe places to overnight a lot easier, but there are a lot of warnings there. We love it. We wonder the same about the vinyl... but we are not sure yet. In a way it makes us look as a commercial thing... but it also gets the attention. We do see people often trying to figure out what we are and sometimes we think the possibility we might be the press or so puts them off. Thank you very much for following the adventure!
Must have been terrifying...the guys that do Haska Alaska witnessed a corrupt cop shoot someone dead right outside their van in Mexico....on the other hand, as you say, mostly beautiful people and beautiful place. Some area's not safe though especially in current climate...but you are all alive and safe if a little shaken up and right, don't let one bad experience colour whole trip. Be careful, sensible and vigilant and enjoy your future adventures. Love your channel x
That would have been super terrifying indeed! I can't even think of witnessing it and still continue traveling! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your experiences... glad that you are both safe. It is true that we should be the "be safe anywhere" type of person.
Thanks!
Sakra, that was some really scary stuff! I'm glad you're OK now. Wouldn't want to go through it. Some places just aren't as safe as others. But I'm pretty sure it was just an isolated accident and soon it'll all be just a bad memory. It surely won't dissuade you from doing what you love. Don't stop guys, you're amazing. Good luck and have a nice day! :-)
It was scary indeed! But you are right.... it was a rare incident and it has not put us off traveling. We know the world is a beautiful place with some bad stuff going on! Cheers!
Que pena que tuvieran que pasar esa situación,soy de Chiapas y muchos de aquí tenemos miedo de transitar por esa carretera,esas personas son malas y no les importa el daño que hacen ni a quien se lo hacen,se ha sabido de turistas que han desaparecido y los han encontrado muertos,incluso gente del mismo estado y del país también, Chiapas es hermoso pero no todo es como parece, lamentablemente por unos pagamos todos y para esas personas no existe la ley, Gracias a Dios ustedes pudieron contar su experiencia..
So glad you got through safely. How stressful. And yes, one incident in two years is not bad. You handled yourselves really well.
Thanks, Catherine Glanz ! All the best from us!
Glad you guys made it out OK, if that was me I think my aggressive disorder would of come out and I wouldn't of been so diplomatic so well done on keeping your cool in a very alarming and stressful situation.
Yeah of course you would have. Just you against 4-6 dudes. Dream on
I'm from California and don't even get near Mexico, let alone drive through it.
Consider yourselves extremely lucky.
You are missing out on so much, mate! We feel sorry for all bad reputation Mexico has. We spent a total of 250 days there and this was the only negative one... we feel extremely lucky we got to experience such an amazing country!
@@OverlandWay Glad to hear that. Spending a couple weeks in Medellin Colombia, maybe swing by Mexico on the way back. Stay safe.
What happened to your two hitch hikers? Did they get dropped off before the “check point?”
We traded them for our freedom! Don't tell anyone! HAahha Joking... they were actually pretty unhelpful to be honest. They sat in the car shitting themselves...
Overland Way I didn’t realize till I watched the second time that they seemed to “disappear” from the story. I had no idea they were there. Craziness.
Great video I appreciate the honesty, you guys are fantastic keep them coming stay safe.
Que experiência! Agora fica um alerta, que em lugares estranho e perigoso não é bom arriscar muito, e câmera também não é bom ligar.
Infelizmente essas coisas fazem parte da viagem, mas felizmente são as menores... Aventura que segue, não deixem isso perturbar vocês. Boa sorte!
É isso! Sabemos que o risco sempre existiu e estamos gratos que tudo deu certo. Agora é continuar explorando esse mundo lindo, sempre com cuidado!
Glad you guys are okay... keep safe always and God speed.
Thanks, Zarah Lina ! All the best from us!
Glad it ended with all 3 of you ok. I often wonder wether it'd be better to go through those known trouble spots at 2am or 3am. Even the scumbags should be sleeping at that time. Good luck for the rest of the trip. 🤞
If we were to do it again we would definitely try at 5 AM hehehe
Man I know that if it wasn’t for the crime , Mexico would be one of the top 3 most visited countries in the world , it is beautiful
I travelled usa by combie camper.was going to mexico.meet travellers who told me not to go, there friends were murdered in mexico.
Que tenso !!!! Mas de tudo tiramos sempre novas lições e conhecimentos !!! Que este dia ruim ... valorize 1000x os dias bons !!!! ... que susto !!!!
Adora essa edição de vocês !!!
Eles fazem filmes !
Elcio, Eu leio seu comentário e imagino a sua voz. To te assistindo demais! Kkkk
Thanks God you guys were fine. Travel safe dudes!
Hi guys I'm from Mexico I be fallow you in on your trip on Mexico this a shame what happen this5is not acceptable Los mexicanos somos calidos y aigables . bit unfortunately we have citizens do don't have any respect.
Moving to Mexico soon, I have been learning about these incidents.
Thank You Both For Sharing!
Sir, if I may say, you have a lovely wife sir! Hope the best for you guys! :)
Holy cow, so glad you made it through. What a scary experience.
Tell us about it! Thank you very much, Dan! Have a great one.
Thank God for spare tires. Wow!
I think anyone would have got the hell out of there as quick as possible .. Condolences the cyclists and there family's.. you should definitely get some sealant in those tyres..
Thanks, Paul's Life ! Sealant is in now lol All the best from us!
Acho que Deus ajudou muito ajudando ao raciocínio imediato...
Quem sabe o que teria acontecido se tivessem parado no meio daqueles loucos, eh muito perigoso! Que Deus continue ajudando e protegendo vcs dois dando coragem e determinação correta em cada situação...
Forte abraço!
Deus sempre no comando! Temos certeza que ele tomou conta da gente todos os dias até hoje, inclusive nesse! Abraços, Victor!
com certeza a tua decisao de fugir de um cenario de perigo alem de ter sido por instinto, foi a melhor decisao, poderia tudo dar certo em um acordo, sim. poderia mas tambem poderia ter termnado em uma trajedia e neste caso e melhor evita-la sendo possivel e para voces tendo tido esta opcao, foi a melhor. Eu fiquei tenso aqui so em assistir e como um bom brasileiro, sobrevivido em um pais onde a violencia se tornou banal, esta tambem teria sido a minha decisao, me colocar em seguranca juntamente com os que estivessem comigo. Meus parabens pela atitude, nao foi nada de estupides, foi o melhor que voce fez reagir ao estinto. Uffa esta foi por pouco.
Valeu, Cleuder! Difícil saber o que teria acontecido... mas estamos felizes que tudo deu certo! Abraços e obrigado pelo carinho!
Sorry that happened to ya'll! Good luck with your travels!!!
Thanks Maurice! Have a great day!
You did good cameras always make people jumpy good luck guys xx
Ouf 😨😨
Glad that everything finished "safely".
Thanks, Guy Richard ! All the best from us!
I believe you did the right thing by getting you and your lady out of there, the two people that got murdered most likely were not filming, filming may have helped you stay alive, I’m guessing run flat tires are a good investment.
I have not been in a situation like that , but can not imagine stopping and getting out of your vehicle would ever be a good idea
glad you made it through this, enjoying the series, real inspiration for an old pom like me, thanks
Thank you for say that not every in Mexico is bad 🙏🏿🙏🏿
are you guys ok? you haven't posted anything for months now?
Teria feito o mesmo, acredito que acertou em não ter parado... Acho que seria válido aplicar uma vacina anti furos nesses pneus, nessa situação o uso do selante teria evitado alguns problemas. Abraço, sucesso aew!!!
Boa Raphael! Difícil saber se teria. Mas agora já é tarde heheheh Tomara que não aconteça de novo!
Unfortunately things like this do happen in this part of the world, glad to see it has not put you off going further.
Continue have fun and with a bit of luck you will have no more of this crap.
Safe travels
Thanks, guys! We will continue having fun indeed. Unfortunately the world is not just all beauty, but we still believe it's a great place to be explored! :) Have a great day!
Caraca! Que sufoco hein. Ainda bem que deu certo no final. Provavelmente eu teria feito o mesmo, sair do carro ali seria uma péssima opção. Parabéns pela viagem e pelo vídeo, ótimo storytelling!
Obrigado, Profundo no Mundo ! Grande abraço nosso!
Nossa...complicado...mas que Deus esteja com vocês sempre e protegendo.
Amém!
Welcome ti Mexico, stay in save places and have fun. MEXICO IS AMAZING !
Personally I don't think running the road block was wrong but I guess you never know. All that matters of course is you're alive and well 🖒
It's so hard to tell what could have happened. It just feel right at that point... but then again... it's a split second decision. You are right! All that matters now is that we are safe. We just hope no one has to go through something like this. It really sucks. Have a great day, Brent!
Angry mob of people trying to get people out of their own vehicle unlawfully... They would've been killed. They did the right thing by getting out of the crowd.
Cuídense mucho y gracias por esta buena información!
Guys, thank you very much for this report and congratulations that you passed without personal demage. However there‘s a significant mistake in your report, which should be corrected. This did not take place in Ococingo, but at the south entrance gate to the city „Oxchuc“. Oxchus is located between San Cristobal de las Casas and Ococingo approximately 50 km after San Cristobal on highway 194. The majority of the inhabitants are indigenous people called Tzeltal, the district is one of the poorest in Mexico, repressed by the Mexican government since decades. The region is known for political, etnical and land conflicts. The risk for travellers is medium, as long as you know the rules, which normally means to stop and to pay at road blocks. The „fees“ are feasible. Then entrance gate of Oxchuc is well known for such road block and one should have some 100...150...200 MXN ready for payment, even if the block is not always installed. In any case it is recommended, not to travel alone or during the night on highway 194. Travelling in a group, by rented car, known bus companies like ADO/OCC, colectivos or taxi are the safest options.
Really glad you guys got through that. Thank God
Que susto , é bom mostrar esse lado tbem, pois reforça a segurança de outras pessoas que estão na estrada.👏👏👏
Nem tudo é alegria! E é importante estar preparado! A vida na estrada tem todos os tipos de surpresa! Abraços, amigos!
Your both and doggie. Truly amazing 🌟
Best wishes for your traveling futures
To be vey safe along your ways
🙏🚐🙏
😊🙏😊😊🐕🚐☀️👍🌍
Thanks Darren! Have a great day!
I love your videos. I am glad you both alright. Be extra careful next time when you entered high crime rate countries....including 1st world or 2nd world...do more research on each area. Be safe
glad you two are ok. that looked scary xxx
Thanks, Billy Sherratt ! This was super scary indeed! All the best from us!
Como Mexicano les pido una disculpa por esa penosa experiencia. Saludos y que Dios los bendiga
Caramba! Que situação hein? eu particularmente acho que você fez o correto, não sei o que poderiam fazer com vocês se ficassem lá , mas graças a Deus estão todos bem e é o que importa, abs!
Obrigado, Roberto hiroshi Matsuse ! Grande abraço!
I wish you the best. Be careful.
Graças a Deus, foi só um grande susto e uma experiência de aprendizado!
Sigam em paz!
Certeza!
Graças a Deus vcs estão bem. Realmente a sua atitude de passar direto não foi correta. Sabemos que nas estradas com barreiras, não devemos filmar.
Passamos por uma situação desta em Marrocos, porém estávamos com guia.
Abcs
Difícil saber o que é correto ou não hehehe Mas no final deu tudo certo ;)
Love u guys....... Visit India 🇮🇳 n be our guest some day..... 🙏
Que tenso esse vídeo hein amigos. Que bom que tudo terminou bem. Realmente em uma situação dessas é difícil tomar decisão, pois não sabemos o tamanho do risco que corremos em parar ou continuar. Que Deus os abençoe. Grande abraço!
Muito tenso! Difícil saber o que fazer. Mas graças a Deus tudo deu certo!
infelizmente coisas assim acontecem as vezes, mas Deus no comando sempre. Boa sorte e boa viagem.
Obrigado, Alexsandro LIMA DE SOUZA ! Granda abraço nosso!
Aqui na América do sul e mais complicado, tem que tomar um pouco mais de cuidado de em países desenvolvidos.
Cuidado nunca é demais! Depois desse episódio, nosso segundo dia mais assustador foi nos EUA heheh
Nossa quem diria, mas no futuro vocês vão lembrar disso tudo e rirem juntos, e sempre bom viver as próprias historias, faz a vida valer a pena.
Anyone know the purpose of that checkpoint?
It's set up by locals in Ocosingo to collect money from travellers. They are in a remote area of a poor state and get little assistance from the government, who at the same time take land from the people of the region to give to their wealthy friends. It's not surprising that they take things in their own hands, but they also remove a lucrative source of income (tourism) by doing so.
To extort money.
Meu Deus!... eu acho que fez a coisa certa! Eu teria feito o mesmo, a única coisa que eu iria ter feito diferente é sair da rodovia e me esconder pra trocar o pneu... e depois dessa compraria um líquido que no momento não sei o nome e que põe dentro do pneu e em um caso assim não deixa baixar a pressão....
Deus os acompanhe!
Também teria me escondido, mas não tinha onde. Ou eu podia me esconder em uma vila, mas dai o risco era de fazerem algo com a gente já que não estávamos mais a vista. Mas não tem receita! O jeito é ter cuidado e contar com a ajuda de Deus. Tudo dá certo no final! Grande abraço!
Overland Way verdade não tem receita, o importante é que Deus se fez presente e tudo deu certo.
Investiga este produto que põe Detroit do pneu pra quem viaja assim em lugares remotos é de grande valor! Um investimento que se paga.
Same happen to me in Jamaica back in 2002 there are good people out there but there are bad ones to. I still think you did the best thing running even if you gave them money they still might of raped, killed or beat you up. I know they cost bucks but run flat tires or maybe 6 cans of that puncture repair would be a quick fix and keep you moving in any emergency in the future, and don't beat yourself brother it was a fight or flight thing and you lived to tell the tale, take care guys
revoltante o comportamento das "policias" em diversos pontos da América latina. Bolivia e Brasil também colecionam casos de corrupção. felizmente deu tudo certo!!! parabéns pelo canal! vim através do
Serial Trippers
Que bom que deu tudo certo. Graças à Deus.
Obrigado, yasso suzuki ! Grande abraço nosso!
Uau! sem palavras, que bom que no final esta tudo bem! ams acho que eu teria feito a mesma coisa. boa viagem!
É difícil de saber! Nessas horas o instinto as vezes toma conta. Sorte que deu tudo bem!
O erro começou bem antes, começou no fato de que já sabiam que haveria esse tipo de pedágio criminoso, e mesmo assim decidiram filmar a cara dos manos como se eles fossem sorrir e dar um aceninho pra camera. É até possível que isso aconteça em um caso, mas no seguinte você morre. Muita irresponsabilidade.
Vendo o vídeo é sempre mais fácil. Na hora, nem tanto. Se pudéssemos mudar o que fizemos, sem dúvidas mudaríamos. Abraços

Always remember one thing.
Nothing is worth trading your lives for. Hope you both learned a lesson from this.
You can't go everywhere in this world anymore.
America needs a bigger wall.
MAGA.
Oh please. The wall is to keep us in. Trump is a Satanist like all the other Freemason poly ticks. It's a act. Watch In The Shadow of Hermes and The Greatest Story Never Told by Dennis Wise.
El problema fue que quisiste pasar sin pararte

Dam crooks. Glad you guys are ok.
Thanks, A Ql ! All the best from us!
that is disgraceful - in the middle of a town a gang of thugs brazenly extort people for money.

Valeu, Samuel! Ver o lado positivo é importante! Abraços!
You guys did good! I would have too! “Yah, white people got money get them and their little van too.” ☠️
You saved your lifes..... que asco de policías... my car got stolen in Tijuana and the police didn’t helped me
Exactly why not to go there!!!
How could I blame you for thinking that way? It got us scared, that's for sure! Have a great day, James!
Some parts of the world really need some cleansing...
