But is it safe to travel to Rocky Point, Mexico?
May 2022: The US State Department has issued another travel warning for Mexico after 2 gang members were shot in Cancun. Last year almost 3 times as many people were killed in Chicago than Cancun. So the State Department should issue travel warnings for the entire US because of killings in Chicago? The crime rate in Peoria, AZ is almost double that of Rocky Point – and it is even higher in Phx. Of the 2 million annual tourists to Rocky Point, how many have been murdered in the past 50 years? Zero. None. Ninguno.
So if you really
want to stay safe, leave home immediately and drive one hour south of
the border to the sandy beaches of Rocky Point. And if you want to
have more fun, do it on one of our motorcoaches.

ALGODONES,
MEXICO -
Enjoy a great lunch and Mexican music while sipping a Margarita.
Americans are their
only business so this is a VERY safe town. 33,000 people a day cross
over into Algodones spending $2 million a day! Everyone speaks some
kind
of English, restaurant food is safe, and prescriptions are legit.
But you can still get a $15 Rolex. :-) When you come down with
me, I will give you coupons for a free Margarita at Pueblo Viejo, 20%
off at the Purple Pharmacy!, 20% off at Alberta Dental, and 20% off at
Mendoza Optical (480 745-1786). If you can't come down with me,
mention my name

Prescriptions: There are two main pharmacy companies in Algodones, each with multiple stores. The "Purple"
Pharmacy is Liquis. (480 745-1783 or info@grupo-liquis.com) They are the largest, closest to the border, and
the one we recommend. Theywill match any other prices. They accept
the U.S. dollar, Visa, and Mastercard with no conversion fee. They
accept American Express with a conversion fee. Also confirm with the pharmacy that you
will be able to transport the medications across the border. There
are limits on quantity and certain drugs.
Dentists: Algodones
has more dentists than any other city of its size in the WORLD. Over
