Looks amazing! Great share. Ciao from italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

I used to go to Mexico every weekend when I lived in Laredo - back in 2014 when I attend LCC. I remember these streets. I used to go to this club off Mcphearson dr. Not sure if it still there. I also once took the bus all the way to Monterrey Nuevo León. The clubs there were awesome along with the food.

If you directly take bus from Laredo TX to Monterrey, do they check your passport before boarding or at the border?

Normally we have taken San Diego/Tijuana route of Mexico travel, but this looks easier and probably less messy as TJ too.

This border crossing is most definitely much faster than the San Diego - Tijuana crossing! But it also depends on where you live when choosing which border crossing to use. Thank you for watching!

I’ve crossed this bridge quite a few times since I’m from Laredo and would go to the dentist and to buy stuff every now and then. I think getting dropped off downtown and going by foot is the fastest and easiest way to go. Crossing from the US to Mexico is a lot faster. The other way around can take a while. I’ve never come back by car but people have told me it takes HOURS to come back by car. Even by foot it may take an hour or so since so many people come to the US to work or shop. It’s best to come back by foot early in the morning. By 11am there will be a pretty big line trying to come back to the US.

You can enter Mexico with any of the same documents that you can use to enter the united states. Now, if you're only staying under 25 miles from the border you do not need to pay the "tourist visa" that he talks about on this video. At exactly 25 miles into Mexico there's an immigration check point that checks people randomly, you might or might not be checked .. if so, they will ask for that tourist visa.. if you don't have it they will send you back or if you get a cool officer he might let you get one there.
