Two cyclists were robbed. Tortured and killed on this road on the 20 of april. Very dangerous road
Report Check-InNothing here when we passed in April 7th 2018. All clear except many Topes !!!!!
Report Check-InNothing here at the moment - ask the locals in Palenque/San Cristobal and they'll be able to tell you if there are any road blocks or not ahead :)
Report Check-InNo one there today. Burnt out van there but otherwise no sign of roadblock. Further towards ocosingo there was a block but to do with school close and only ‘voluntary contribution’
Report Check-InAucun problème aujourd’hui, à part le mauvais état de la route à certains endroits...
Report Check-InWe came to one road block first, truck halfway into road, they demanded nothing and told us we can pass but we have to move cones ourselves. 100 meters further up the road are lots of people blocking road. 3 militant men are sitting on a tribune and receive the 100pesos demanded of us. We are let through. Another 200 meters the road are blocked by people , politely asking for small donation, we gave 10-15 pesos. There were 50 cars parked along road and it felt intimidating but no problems occurred.
Report Check-InThree road blocks in this area now. First two with cones, asked me where I was going (Palenque) and let me through. After the cones they have a large truck blocking the road. Locals surrounded me at the truck and asked for 10p. I gave them the money with no questions and they told me to ride around the truck. If not on a motorcycle I think you’ll be out of luck.
Report Check-InRoad blocked by a big truck. Don't allow anyone to pass. We turned around. All the bus drivers and locals advice to turn around. Also a burned van blocking one dirección and rocks on the road. Drive slow before getting to this point from San Cristobal.
Report Check-InAsked for 50 pesos. Give them what they want if you want to avoid a mob. Fake police on site as well. Or just avoid this road altogether until this thing is resolved.
Report Check-InRoad block still there. We asked what the money is for, they cant explain. In the end we gave them the 50p.
Report Check-InStill here, still asking for 50p, we gave them 40p and said we haven’t more ...
