Directions and Transportation Be sure to be aware that effective June 1, 2009 passport documents are required to go back in the USA from Mexico. They will no longer accept a driver's license and a birth certificate. This includes CHILDREN! From San Diego, California, take Interstate Highway 5 or Interstate 805 south. This will take you to the San Ysidro, California border crossing (at Tijuana). There will be various freeway exit signs along the way including one reading “Last U.S. Exit.” Continue driving, the freeway takes you right into Mexico. To get to the toll road from the border, bear to the right just after entering Mexico. Work your way into the right lane as you climb the first small rise. As the road merges with another lane on the right get over into this lane as soon as possible to avoid missing the exit. Take the exit marked Playas de Tijuana Rosarito. This will take you to the road that runs along the international border (Avenida Internacional). You’ll see the border fence to your right as you travel west. You’ll stay on this road as you climb the first hill. Stay right and keep going straight. As you drop down into the canyon, you’ll want to take the right turn-off to the road going west (Marked Ensenada Quota which means Ensenada Toll Road). As you merge, get over into the left lane and stay there. Up another hill and then you’ll drop down to Playas de Tijuana, the beach community of Tijuana. Just ahead is the toll booth. A toll fee of approximately $2.35 US dollars will take you all the way to Rosarito Beach. Mile Markers below (set your odometer to “0” at Toll Booth line): *** If you come to Rosamar or Las Gaviotas you just passed our complex, turn around and head north < .2miles (look for the black sign that says, “Rancho Don Pancho”). Both of our condos (#12 & #14 are located on the far north side of the complex. We are the two “end” units upstairs. Condo #14 is the farthest end unit on the northern side of complex). Always make sure you have at least Mexican Liability Insurance. It’s cheap if you think ahead! Call Bernie’s Insurance at 01152-661-612-1028 or fax your request to 1-866-447-0558.
