Hola, is anyone aware of COVID PCR or RT LAMP Testing locations required for travel to Canada in the Mulegé, Santa Rosalia or Loreto area?

Thank you to HeyMulegeScott. Your post lead to us saving $ 400 CDN.

http://www.laboratoriosnunez.com.mx/ Laboratory Nunez across from the police station did our test for 1100 Pesos. The other Loreto labs were charging 4500 pesos. The test was legitimate and got us on our last WJ flight.

How quickly did they give you the results?

Whatever it was, it got them on the last WJ flight before it suspended flights to Mexico, along with other Canadian airlines. Avoided the new $2,000 Canadian quarantine, too. Many snowbirds this year returned sooner, for this latter reason.

Yes it was the PCR Test! ... and 200 bucks Cdn cheaper than anywhere else. We were sceptical at first. We checked double checked and asked the question 6 different ways. WJ Airline excepted the test and it was also examined by the Border Services officer in Calgary.

We got the results 36 hours later. Apparently they ship the test to La Paz for testing. Very nice people in the Lab.

So it is 100% good to go.
