Calexico-Mexicali West Border Crossing, Update 2025

Hello Fellow Adventurers;
This video will show you what to expect driving across the US-Mexico border through the Calexico-Mexicali West Border Crossing. This is an update from my previous videos so I'll point some changes. I will also show you where to get FMM or sometimes referred to as the Tourist Card. For those traveling further south to the Baja peninsula, you need to connect to Highway five after crossing to Mexicali. This can be confusing driving around Mexicali for first timers even if you use GPS. I will show you the route I used to connect to Highway 5 after getting to Mexicali.

Further south of Mexicali is the town of San Felipe; a portion of San Felipe Malecon is shown towards the end of this video.

If you have newer updates or better routes, please share it in the comment section. You may also want to check out my videos driving back to the US. And a quick reminder, please click Like and Subscribe if you find this video helpful or if you want to keep up with my travels.

Now go; check it out yourself!

The Earth is wide Open; adventure awaits.
