Travis Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Some clients will be driving here from Nogales and it's been so long since I did it, I don't remember. Besides recommending the Mariposa crossing, they need to look out for where they stop to get their car import permit, and where they stop to get their tourist visa / aduana check. It seems to me there were two different places you had to stop. I know one of the stops is at K21 - was that Immigration/Aduana or was that car stuff? And where is the other located? Thanks.

xtrailer Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I crossed in late October of this year and it was a one stop shop. Everything is within the same complex at Km21 - INM (immigration), aduana (customs) and banjercito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Perfect. I know they'll need to do the car import permit deposit with a credit card, but if I recall, even back in 2008 there was an atm at that location to access pesos. Did you notice if that is still the case? They'll need pesos for gas / tolls etc., but first stop is likely Guaymas, so they can get them there, too. Thanks so much for recent info!

xtrailer Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Travis, there was an ATM within the complex but it was out of order. Granted that was over a month ago, so it could be working again but I wouldn't depend on it I paid for the TIP with my credit card and had enough pesos to get me through to an ATM in Hermosillo. I drove an SUV with a full tank of gas and didn't have to fill up until Guaymas and tolls from the border to Guaymas were less than $100.00MXN (that being said, I crossed through town and I believe that the Mariposa crossing has an additional $50.00MXN+ in tolls). This website is handy for budgeting tolls and estimated gas costs: http://app.sct.gob.mx/sibuac_internet/ControllerUI?action=cmdEscogeRuta Buen Viaje!

RickS Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Travis, there used to be a couple of casa de cambios in the shopping center at the intersection of I19 and W. Mariposa Rd (the road that goes out to the crossing). But even if there isn't, there are a couple of banks on Mariposa just east of that intersection (Chase & BOA). They would have pesos. Of course an ATM will probably get the best rate but they are there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Travis I think it would be useful to a number of folks here if you or your friend would post a trip summary starting at Mariposa. For example it has been a long time since many of us used that crossing and maybe some of us will be headed that way before long. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
