US-Mexico border crossing at Nogales
We crossed the US-Mexico border at the Mariposa crossing on the west side of Nogales. Highly recommended over the main border crossing in downtown Nogales. We purchased our tourist visas and vehicle importation permit at KM21 on the cuota (toll road) bypassing Mexican customs at the border. Tip: cross the border at Mariposa, stay to the left and take the toll road to KM 21.In the past, we've driven Highway 1 from the US as far south as Loreto and it's a tough 700 miles. The road is narrow and used by everything from pedestrians and cows to 22-wheel semis and the occasional double semi. It's an easier drive on the mainland; the cuota is a better highway (some sections are four lanes) and cost less than US$30 in tolls.
