San Ysidro Border
Mexico Caravan Ministries

Please review the directions before driving into Mexico.

1. Take I-5 or I-805 South to the U.S. – Mexico border.

2. Cross the border – If you get a green light, GO. If you get a red light, pull over to the right to let them check your car.

3. Get into the 3rd lane from the left. (The far right lane goes off to the airport)

4. About ½ mile across the border you will go over a bridge with flags painted on the guardrail. Get into the right lane on that bridge. (Do not take the exit to the right on the bridge).

5. Follow that lane as it starts curving to the left. Do not merge off to the right when it forks. Stay in the lane as it goes under the two bridges – the first bridge is painted blue with fish on it and the second bridge is painted green with butterflies. Important: Be sure to go under both bridges.

6. After you have gone under both bridges you will now be on the Via Rapida freeway. Stay on the freeway. The Via Rapida has been completed all the way through to El Florido and now ends at a stop light by the banos and Gigante grocery store.

7. Go under an overpass and through the traffic light. Go straight through 2 more stop signs and a main intersection (large flea market on far right corner). Go straight and up hill.

8. At the next traffic light – turn left.

9. Follow this road through a traffic light. After the traffic light, travel approximately ½ mile and make a U-turn at the first left U-turn that is available.

10. Turn right on the third street. (Brick bldg with small business on corner).

11. Turn right on the fourth street. (It is a large street with very tall power lines down the middle).

12. The dorms are located on the left hand side of the street about 100 yards from the turn. The buildings are two-story and light green.
