Our Story
MEXSHIELD is the brainchild of brothers Omar and Mario Ledesma, two Mexican insurance brokers living in the busy border between México and the United States.
Both brothers having lived, traveled, and conducted business on both sides of the border for decades, they understood first-hand the challenges that foreigners face while traveling in Mexico.
After hearing too many discouraging tales from friends, family, coworkers, who had either had problems that they were too afraid to travel to Mexico, Omar and Mario decided to find a way to allow people to enjoy the beauty, regional cuisines, and cultural riches of Mexico without worry: MEXSHIELD. With over 100 cumulative years of Mexican travel experience, MEXSHIELD is the first personalized, digital assistance network connecting travelers, DMC, travel agents, travel platforms, hotels with local hands-on assistance, was born, offerings the one thing money couldn’t buy: peace of mind.
