Q. How do I get to San Carlos Mexico?

Q. What paperwork do I need to have to travel to Mexico?
A. The paperwork requirements to visit Mexico beyond the frontier zone (about 10 miles from the border) are not that difficult, but do require a little advanced planning. To go beyond the frontier zone one needs a tourist card or visa. Since San Carlos is in the Sonora "Free Zone", this is free for up to a 7 day visit. Anything beyond the 7 days costs a little over $22 USD. To get a tourist card or visa one needs: a valid passport. Any child traveling with just one parent must present a letter from the other parent given written permission. We suggest making photo copies of any important documents such as your passport and photo identification such as drivers license.
