Technically, you need to pull an FMM (you'll be there longer than three days, you're going south of Maneadero), but no one checks north of the state line. Figure half an hour for paperwork that way. _________________________________________________ If they do find something that requires payment of duty they give you a slip of paper stating what it is and you stand in line at the first counter where the give you another slip of paper staing how much duty you owe. Then you take that slip to the bank at the far end and stand in line to pay it. Then they give you a receipt that you take back to the first counter and stand in line to present it to the clerk that then gives you another slip to present to the guy outside that sent you there in the first place. Depending on the time of day this could take up to an hour total.  ___________________________________________________ The border has changed as you go southbound; no more Puerta M�xico. Now you make a sharp right and then an even sharper left. Once you clear customs, stay to the right; there's bright, fancy new signage and it's a lot easier than the old way. You'll pretty much make the first right onto Av. Internacional. Follow signs for the cuota. __________________________________________________ Actually the sign says Playas and Ensenada and you cross a bridge over the dry riverbed that ends in a sharp curve and puts you into a lane that merges onto Ave. International and after you go up and over the hill you take the clearly marked right and get into the left lane that puts you onto the toll road to Ensenada. _________________________________________________ Bear in mind (if you come back this way) that Av. Internacional eastbound is closed for construction, so you'll need to take Calle Segunda across. ___________________________________________________ Construction has been completed on Ave. International. __________________________________________________ There's everything you could possibly want directly on the Transpeninsular in Ensenada, from Calimax to Costco to the world's least appealing Walmart, mostly on the south end of town. |
