Question 1

What documents do I need to travel to Mexico?

Accepted Answer

U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter Mexico. If you plan to rent a car, you may also need a Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), a tourist permit, which is typically provided at the border or can be obtained online.

Question 2

How do I get to Rancho Meling?

Accepted Answer

Rancho Meling is located in Sierra San Pedro Mártir, Baja California. From Tijuana, the drive takes approximately 4-5 hours, heading south on Highway 1 and then turning east toward the national park. Detailed driving directions will be provided in your workshop materials.

Is transportation provided from Tijuana to the workshop location?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide transportation to Rancho Meling. However, carpooling with other participants is often a convenient and cost-effective option. Many attendees coordinate rides, creating a great opportunity to connect with fellow participants before the workshop begins.

If I decide to carpool, where is the meeting point?

Accepted Answer

The meeting point is Dairy Mart Pond at the intersection of Dairy Mart Road and Camino De La Plaza in San Diego.

Question 5

Are there specific border crossing tips or times to avoid delays?

Accepted Answer

Crossing the border early in the morning or late at night tends to have shorter wait times. Avoid weekends and holidays if possible, as these are peak travel times. Make sure to have all your documents ready and be prepared to declare any items you’re bringing into Mexico.
