Mexico City to Panama
 
Wondering if it is reasonable to travel by bus from Mexico City to Panama. Would it be safe? I am a middle-aged woman travelling alone.

That's a lot of land to cover and a lot of diversity. If you have plenty of time it could be an awesome trip. I'd allow 3-4 months which is about 2 weeks per country.

Sure easy have done it choose deluxe bus to Tapachula

then pickup www.ticabus.com Tapachula to PC

hopping on and off neat areas.

The more time the better

The alternate route if you want to pick up Belize is

bus to Chetumal to Belize City pick up Linea Dorada

to San Ignacio Tikal/Flores Guatemala City then

www.hedmanalas.com to Copan Bay Islands then pick up

www.ticabus.com from San Pedro Sula on down...

The more time the better...
