Dash-Cam Driving in Mexico » From Mascota to Puerto Vallarta, beautiful scenery, and a flat tire

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive the back roads through Mexico, and get a flat tire? Thanks to our trusty dash-cam, we can show you! This time, we were on our way from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta, and we wanted to take the "back road" through Mascota, which meant taking the Mexican Federal Highway 70 ( non-toll "libre") through the absolutely beautiful mountain range. This video starts at the village El Jacal, a short distance before reaching the adorable town Mascota, where we drive around to enjoy the scenery. After stopping for lunch, the blue skies had transformed into a torrential downpour. Continuing our journey on the narrow, curvy roads, we ran into some bad luck: a flat tire, resulting in two broken tire bolts, and a broken "anti-theft" lug nut tool (which means our flat tire was quite literally stuck on the car, in the middle of nowhere, in Mexico, with no cell service, shortly before sunset).

For the full story of how we were saved by some incredibly friendly and handy Mexican men, check out our Benton Homestead post, here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CgP4yZ_veXu/
