Mexico question

We are in the Willcox, AZ area and going to be going to Benson, AZ after here.

Which is the biggest, safest Mexico town we can park and walk across? Through Douglas into Agua Prieta or at Nogales?

We head north from Benson so will not be in the Yuma area to go to Algodones.

Thanks in advance.
  • You most likely would get a better response if you moved this to RVing in Mexico....just sayin....Dennis
  • OP: Just thought we would ask, we love Mexico. But of course, want to be safe. Just have never been in this area and didn't know the situation down here now. We did go to Palomas last week. I used to go to Juarez in the 70's with my dad. It's too bad the way things have changed.

    Thanks everyone for your input.
  • Don't know why you want you want to go to Mexico and while certainly not a large town you could go to Paloma Mexico just south of Deming NM. Small town but only a very short walk from parking. Also a great visitors center and small museum at the state park at Columbus NM.

    I would avoid Auga Prieta! It was bad 20 yrs. ago , too many drugs. Wait tip you get a post from one who has crossed at Douglas.
