Hola! Welcome to MexConnect, the world’s largest content website about Mexico.

The world famous MexConnect forums (1996-2019) have been archived and are no longer being updated. To access read-only versions of the entire forums (200,000 posts in 30,000 threads), please try the following link:

The MexConenct forums were among the earliest interactive discussion boards on the web. Under the overall direction of MexConnect founder David McLaughlin, all threads and comments were moderated by a team of Mexico experts (including the incomparable Rolly Brook, Cristina Potters and many others) who helped guide discussions to stay on track (more or less). Our experienced moderators helped ensure that comments on the forum were as polite, inclusive and useful as possible for our many readers. 

The rise of mass social media, such as Facebook et al., eventually provided alternative ways to share, discuss and distribute information, even if we old-timers can only lament the almost complete lack of any reliable content moderation or fact-checking.

Here we have archived some of the more interesting, useful, and/or popular posts from our old forums. Please note that information in these threads may no longer be entirely up-to-date. The full list of saved threads is available by clicking here: Forum Archives

Once the house is built, concrete […]
