General Safety: The Mexican authorities make a great effort to make our visit to San Felipe safe and enjoyable, but you are reminded that traveling in Mexico is not travel in the United States. Additional precautions should be taken, use some common sense. The customs and culture are different and behavior that is common in the US may not be acceptable or may be misinterpreted by the Mexican people. Act responsibly, do not make yourself a target, do not drink to excess, do not go out alone late at night. Insurance & Documents: Liability insurance is recommended (and required by Mexican Law). It can be purchased from an agent on either side of the border. Mexico Customs will likely verify ownership of vehicles, boats and trailers. You will need current registrations and copies of titles for all vehicle(s), trailer(s), boat(s). If you are using or bringing a vehicle, trailer or boat that is not registered in your name, you are required to have a notarized letter of permission from the owner(s). NOTE: Over the past year, Mexican Customs has become much more formal checking vehicle, boat and trailer registrations. Don't make the long drive without these papers or you may have to turn around at the border. Mexico Visa: There is no Visa required to enter or leave Baja California when traveling to San Felipe. Driving: Obey the posted speed limits and avoid receiving a ticket. Don't drink and drive - it is against the law to do so in Mexico. A stop is required at railroad crossings in Mexico. Mexico security check points are normally in place between Mexicali and San Felipe, the military personnel are courteous. Their primary purpose is to prevent the illegal transport of drugs and weapons. El Cortez Hotel: Follow the highway to the stop light (normally not working). Turn right and continue.
