'''Mexico''' is a country in [[North America]]. Despite its notoriety, hitchhiking in Mexico is not only possible but it can be a rather enjoyable experience. Due to its sheer size it's impossible to give a general hitchability rating for this country: the experiences vary from state to state. As anywhere, you can go fast on highways and very slow on small less trafficky roads.

On routes with poor public transportation, payment is sometimes expected and ordinary pickups magically turn into ''collectivos'' (shared taxis)very slow on small less used roads.
On the small roads, however, hitchhiking can sometimes be time-consuming – waiting times Avoid disappointment and unnecessary loss of money by keeping your proof of 2–3 hours are not unheard payment of. Be prepared with patience, water and sun cream. Although in many places locals hitch to get home from the grocery store for instance, hitchhiking as a lifestyle or as a means of long-distance travel is not so common in Mexico and not everybody might immediately understand what tourist fee when you enter the country! They will want. So, on the mountain paths for instance, your brain should be wired more to enjoy the magnificent views and eating the abundance of fruit the nature has on offer rather than making a lot of progresssee it again when you leave.
As for security, most hitchhikers never encounter any major problems. Mexico is an enormous country and experiences vary a lot from state == License plates == Mexican license plates are very easy to state. If you want to avoid risks, you can avoid the states close to the border with USA - Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Chihuahua and Durango, i.e. take buses and collectivos when traveling north interpret: The name of the line between Tampico, San Luis Potosi and Mazatlan issuing federal state is written on them (as you will easily notice once in the mapcountry).

[[File:Tope-mexico.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Hitching at a tope (speedbump)]]=== Signs ===
You can also catch long rides at the exits of the cities Signs are almost always unnecessary in Mexico. However they really seem to help when you travel on the highways. Many cities have speed bumps ('re hitching at a ''topecaseta de cobro'') where , especially when the highway begins at the edge of town. Where there are police posts at the entrance or exits to towns, there are usually topes too. On smaller highways in more rural areas, there are often speed bumps at every little town, making it easy to move quickly with a number of shorter ridessplits soon after.
Many If you're in an area with a lot of the largerlocal traffic, faster highways operate on a toll system. It's common for there it might be useful to be make a free road sign that says "Siguiente Gasolinera" (''libre''next gas station) parallel . Then you can get a ride to the paid one a better hitchhiking spot. Similarly, signs that say "reten" (''cuota''checkpoint), the former being slower and easier to catch rides, but the latter much more likely for getting longer rides. The tollbooths or "caseta" (''caseta''tollbooth) can be good places, too. However, sometimes you have to stand about 100m past the tollbooth (ask the attendants where you can stand)really useful, so traffic has often already picked up speed by the time they get to you, and it can be difficult for especially when cars to pull over. Often there's restrooms, gas stations are passing quickly and stores just past the ''caseta'', so you can talk to drivers that stop there. Signs can come in really handy at tollboothscheckpoint or tollbooth is only 10 or 20 km away.

== License plates == Mexican license plates are very easy Other good places include exits from shopping centers, in truck stops or at the restaurants where truckers eat.

When traveling You can also catch long distances with no specific plan, it becomes difficult to arrange shelter through hospitality networksrides at the exits of the cities when you travel on the highways. Also, in many small towns few people Many cities have access to the internet.Luckily, it's really easy and safe to stay over in speed bumps (''tope'gas stations''' or '''fire stations.'''If you get stuck on ) where the road at night, you can ask to be dropped off highway begins at any PEMEX (the only gasoline company edge of Mexico)town. If you talk directly Where there are police posts at the entrance or exits to the people towns, there are usually topes too. On smaller highways in chargemore rural areas, they will tell you what's the safest spot to sleep there are often speed bumps at. Many gas stations also have free showers and you don't need to be a truck driver to use them.When you're inside of a every little town, making it's better easy to go to the fire station. The firemen are very friendly and they are used to host broke travelers from exotic placesmove quickly with a number of shorter rides.

UsuallyThe tollbooths (''caseta'') can be good places too, howeverand the ones near the cities can usually be reached by local transport. However, they direct sometimes you might be told to stand about 100m past the police (whotollbooth itself, in turn, might direct so traffic has often already picked up speed by the time they get to you back and it can be difficult for cars to the church)pull over.Bus Fortunately, there are often restrooms, gas stations are safe and open 24 hours as there are buses round stores just past the clock and there is a security guy. Of course''caseta'', so you will have can talk to sleep with one eye open but it’s a somewhat safe place to spend the nightdrivers that stop there.The municipal police is always friendly and you Signs can just ask them where to spend the night. They might assign you a nice well-guarded spot outside come in front of the town hall (Palacio Municipal) for instancereally handy at tollbooths. It’s not a bed but it is a place to stay, with a roof!

However, almost every beach town has Taking a '''turtle camp''' where you can camp for freebus makes things easier. You might be asked to do some work in exchange, like counting and liberating baby turtles!!!
== Precautions Safety ==It is even less recommendable than in other countries to take drugs or weapons with you, especially as of 2010 since the Mexican government, backed by the US DEA who are actually present in Mexico (!!) have decided to crack down on narco and weapon trafficking. Therefore you likely will be checked at one of the numerous check points, especially in the north as you near the US border. But it's also good to know that the soldiers hardly ever search all the way through a large back-pack, unless you answer their questions really bad. If the vehicle you're riding in does get stopped just stay calm, show your passport, say the magic words "''turista''" ("tourist") and "''de paseo nada más''" ("just passing"), and if they ask to see your stuff open you bag and show them that it's all clothes and stuff.
AlsoIt is even less recommendable than in other countries to take drugs or weapons with you, especially since after 2010 the Mexican government, backed by the US DEA who are actually present in Mexico (!!), have decided to crack down on drug and weapon trafficking. This has declined again since the following government of Peña Nieto seems to be more friendly towards the narcos. There still are numerous checkpoints all around the country, but in general it doesn't seem very likely that you will be checked and the soldiers hardly ever search all the way through a large back-pack, unless you answer their questions really bad. If the southvehicle you're riding in does get stopped just stay calm, show your drivers might passport, say the magic words "''turista''" ("tourist") and "''de paseo nada más''" ("just passing"), and if they ask to see your stuff open you about your immigration status bag and show them that it's all clothes and stuff. Small quantities of marijuana are decriminalized and police officers can probably be convinced to overlook them with a small payment, although of course the Hitchwiki community endorses neither drug possession nor bribery. ;-) Be aware that knives are illegal as they are considered "lethal weapons" according to Mexican law and advise you can theoretically be punished by up to five years of immigration check pointsprison.
In some mid-sized cities like [[Tampico]], Oaxacathe south, your drivers might ask you about your immigration status and [[Pachuca]] there are no transit roads and advise you have to cross the city. Taking a bus makes things easierof immigration check points.

One of the great things of hitchhiking in Mexico is that even if you travel alone, you rarely have to hitch-hike alone, because hitchhiking is such a common activity among locals - joining locals hitching will not only add to the fun, but also your safety. This is especially handy as in certain areas - like in the North, around [[Chihuahua (City)|Chihuahua]] - men might take you for a prostitute (even if you have a large bag and totally look like a foreigner).

''I hitchhiked for two months through the mainland and had a great experience. People are very friendly and willing to help. The biggest thing is getting outside the city.
