IS MEXICO SAFE?

Abide by the laws of Mexico and you will love it and have a wonderful, completely safe visit. There are no drugs or banditos in Puerto Peñasco, mostly happy, relaxed people. Approx. 20,000 U.S. visitors per month and hundreds of RVs.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO PUERTO PEÑASCO (ROCKY POINT)?

Around 4 to 5 hours from Phoenix and less from Tucson.
 
CROSSING THE BORDER, WHAT PAPERS DO I NEED?

Puerto Peñasco is a free zone and therefore no papers are currently required. I recommend a passport or other I.D. No car papers are required, but take registration just in case.
 
NEW INFORMATION
Effective Jan 1 2008  Passports will be required for all passage to Mexico (Land, Air Water).  Effective Jan 1 2007  Passports are only required for all Air & Water Passage.

DO I NEED MEXICAN INSURANCE?

We recommend Mexican Insurance. If for no other reason, the policy is written in Spanish. You can buy it in Ajo, Why, at the border , etc.. Please contact Kathy Boyd @ (800) 528-1621 or  www.oldmex.net to purchase Mexican Auto Insurance prior to leaving.  The new Mexican rules about going into Mexico do not apply to Rocky Point, due to the free zone rules. The rules are much different for going to Guymas or further re: proof of auto ownership and a bond, etc. Currently, You do NOT need to post a bond or deposit cash at the border to bring your vehicle to Puerto Peñasco. The recent restrictions DO NOT apply to Rocky Point

DRINKING WATER ?

The Casita has 5 gallons of purified Mexican water. You may take your own if you prefer.

WHAT CAN I TAKE INTO MEXICO?

Almost anything, Mexican officials are normally quite relaxed. However absolutely NO FIREARMS are permitted. Even one small cartridge can bring disastrous consequences.

WHAT CAN I BRING BACK INTO U.S.?

Rules change, best to ask at customs before you go into Mexico. Liquor limit is 1 liter per adult per month. No fireworks are allowed in U.S.

 

 
HOW IS THE CLIMATE?
 
Milder than Phoenix, warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with a nice breeze

THE SEA OF CORTEZ?

A beautiful, clean ocean. Temperature much warmer than San Diego. 55° in winter to 80° F. Nice sandy beaches. One of the highest (vertical) tides in the world. As much as 24'. Highest tides accompany the new and full moons.

LIQUOR AND SHOPPING?

Reasonable prices and you can now take it back into U.S. Mexico has all staples and lots of seafood. Great shrimp. It is a fishing/shrimp port!!!. Shrimp, flounder and clams are the best bargains.
