Green Angels, Angels of Mercy

Hello to all fun loving adventurers to Mexico!

Included today maybe the most valuable item yet in our blog, information on the Green Angels, sponsored by the Secretary of Tourism of Mexico.

For tourists experiencing a mechanical breakdown, these guys and the services they provide may well be better than a Spring Break fiesta. They do not charge for their service, only parts, and any oil or gas needed to get you on your way. They advertise bilingual mechanics, but you may run into the one, or two, or however many, that may not be bilingual, at least in English! Nonetheless, when these guys show up, you will be glad they did. Oh, before I forget, tips are welcomed, though not mandatory. Don’t be a cheap tourist…

Enjoy a brief video of an actual Green Angel patrol extending their hand to a tourist experiencing a break down. We have all been there, but it is amazingly different when it is in another country. Probably more so, when breaking down in the Republic of Mexico! The video is about 6:00 + minutes, and you can basically skip to about the 1:45 mark to see the Green Angels do their thing.

Below is a link to the service area map for the Green Angels. In addition, you can also visit other programs for info from the Secretary of Tourism in Mexico.

3-Day Holiday Weekend

green-angelsWe just found out that Mexico has a 3-day holiday this weekend to celebrate the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.  Beginning today and until Monday, November 18th, the Green Angels, which are part of the Department of Tourism in Mexico, will be offering road assistance 24 hours a day to those tourists who drive on all national tow roads.  This will also be a coordinated effort with emergency services from the Red Cross, Federal Police and Federal Roads and Bridges.

To avoid setbacks this weekend, the Green Angels recommend that you check your vehicle before hitting the road.  Make sure your breaks are okay, check air pressure, use your seatbelts (they do save lives), obey traffic signs, avoid driving when tired and be extra cautious when driving in the rain.  Refrain from using your electronic devises while driving.

The Green Angels don’t charge for providing service, but tipping is permisseable; the drivers are responsible for parts, oil and gas.

Happy travels!!!
