Always wondered how crossing without a river in between was. Thanks for the video.
Perfect video...thank you!...I have Sentri but we are going to Ensenada with a couple of cousins and the wives...and one couple will have to walk this Path...I needed to show them how easy it is...Thanks again (hopefully they will listen to me and get the sentri card next time)

WOW ! , U must hv filmed that very very early . I never seen it empty like that
Nicely done primo. 👍🏾
Nice job with the video. Very informative. Have a great time in CDMX. Try to make it out to Coyoacan if you have the time. It's well worth the effort.
Thank you for this
I’ve been there but the thing is you gotta go early in the morning because if you go in the afternoon the lines can be very long

I was in Tijuana three days ago. We drove down from Santa Monica, parked and crossed at San Ysidro, can't remember if it was Ped West or East, I remember one was closed. The amount of traffic coming back across driving later was insane, maybe wait, we walked back across in 40 minutes, pedestrian traffic looked about the same here. faster if you've got Sentri as you can see!

Thanks for showing the pedestrian crossing. Can the trolley get you kind of close to the San Diego International Airport? How much time should we allow to get to the airport after clearing customs?
I can't find your video that you show El Chaparral. You showed the ramp in this video.
Can you tell me what time is best to go early for morning and time of evening or night when trying to head back to usa boarder ? B.c last time we tried coming back around 5am in the morning Friday got stuck with people going to work took 1.5 hrs in line to get back. Also how much extra is the sentri card Thanks
I'm going to a concert in TJ from L.A. I bought Greyhound tix to arrive in TJ, but now I am wondering whether it's better to take the Greyhound or driving to the border and walking through. Thoughts?
What time frame do we want to avoid walking back to U.S. so the wait time is not too long? I heard on weekdays avoid 5-7PM.
I went to tijuana last week. We crossed around 4 afternoon..not a long line!!

Be sure you have enough time to cross in case of big lines. We waited two hours in the first line and then fifteen minutes in the next. Global entry allows you to bypass the line, but unlike flying, they cannot use only your passport, physical card is required.

Great video. If you have global entry, can you bypass the line all the way to the white tents ? Or You can only bypass after you pass the first check point ( white tents ).

Hello friend, thanks for posting this video, is exactly what I am looking for. If I can ask you, do you know if nowadays this border check for vaccionation or just negative exam test for covid? I asking because if I fly to USA it is needed, and because of that, I am trying to enter by walk on this border. I am a foreign from Brazil just doing tourism and with valid visa.
when you drive through with a sentri does everyone need to have a sentri who is in the car? how much is parking? thank you 😊
Good video, I was wondering about that place to get a temporary past go into the United States, how long does that usually take, and what kind of documentation does one need to get the temporary crossing pass from Mexico?

I did that for the trip I'm on now but the border police especially in the Tijuana airport will hound you about not having your passport but it can be done. It comes down to how they are feeling bc they can be some real assholes but checking in for a flight and boarding will not be a problem
Am I being paranoid or do I just see too many people that don't look like travelers or like they're working and instead just walking around in both sides of the border? I wonder what their business is...also, how much did you pay for your taxi to where it dropped you off? Thanks a lot in advance
