This was located just a few miles from Tecate, Baja where we crossed into Baja. There is nowhere to park a large motor home at the crossing so we drove to the border in the jeep and walked across. We needed to get visitor visas. The MX immigration office was not well marked, but we located it. The officer spoke very limited English. We got the necessary paperwork and then had to walk downhill several blocks to the bank to pay for the visa. We waited, in what we hoped, was the correct line for over an hour. Note, do not go to the bank on the last day or first of the month when everyone gets paid. Again, the cashier spoke limited English. Tom attempted to get cash from the ATM with no success. We hope that another bank will take our debit card or we will have a short Baja experience. This is the first time we came across Dan and Lisa who run “Baja Amigos RV Caravan Tours.” They were a great help with telling us which RV places were better to stay at on our trip south.
