IMPORTANT:

  • Call (858-925-1214) when you reach Campo Road.
  • Meet the shuttle driver promptly in front of the Baja Duty Free* store on the U.S. side of the border.
    At: 404 Tecate Rd, Tecate, CA 91980, USA
  • If you arrive earlier or later than your scheduled pick-up time,  there may be a short wait for the next available time slot. Our schedule is carefully designed so that a driver is always available to welcome and assist each guest upon arrival.

*The Baja Duty Free store is not associated with Rancho La Puerta. 

Note: If you are parking at the Tecate border, please arrive 30 minutes before the shuttle departure time and bring $25 cash per day for parking fees. If you are being dropped off, arrive 15 minutes before the shuttle's departure time.

(Due to high tourist traffic between the Mexico and US border we strongly advise you to leave your car on the US side of the border. Parking is easy and secure, and we provide shuttles to The Ranch from the border.  Be advised that if you chose to drive across, border wait times on Saturday are typically between three and five hours long.)

PLEASE NOTE: We recommend Mexican Auto Insurance when driving in Mexico. Please discuss this with your current insurance provider, as you may have coverage for a short distance across the border (we're only 3.3 miles in). Another option would be AAA or, just before you cross the border, there is a place that provides insurance, though it might be ideal to arrange for insurance in advance.
