Channel 5 news is on it also http://www.kpho.com/story/30504422/rocky-points-ship-is-soon-coming-in In my opinion Mexican elites invested ton of money in those new hotels on a hope that people from AZ will flock there and they will make a lot of money and so far that did not happen. So they...

Ok then to make it fair Gila Bend vs. Sonoyta.

Why? Sonoyta is safer at night then Phoenix during the day! I am not joking, I am not being sarcastic. Only problem you may have is with local Police trying to get some bribe out of you. Drug cartel members have strict instructions not to mess with any tourists

If they suspect that intent is to sell the tools in Mexico then you may have a problem. If your Spanish is not good then sometimes they want to intimidate you to pay the import fee. If your Spanish is good then all you got to say that you are going to fix your property down there and tools will...

Mexico is doing very bad job promoting tourism into Sonora. I feel like they are trying to sabotage everything positive for Mexico. I bet the secretary of tourism in Sonora does not even know how tourism works.

Nothing new here. Mexico always had very good tourist potential but they just don't know how to sell.

Even on pro-Penasco forum like this one we have posts like this, than imagine what they post at anti-Mexico forum. Fact is cops get paid very low in mexico, rookie gets $500 a month salary, that is nothing. No wonder why they go around and pick who to rip off. Not only tourists but locals also...

One of the border patrol agents told me they got intelligence report that cartel is increasing its smuggling operations there so the screening has to be more intense. Maybe it is BS but I see no reason to hold up the entry point

TUCSON, Ariz. -A Phoenix woman who was said to have flirted with an officer at a border crossing station is accused of trying to smuggle 13 pounds of cocaine into the United States from Mexico. Federal officials said cocaine valued at $134,000 was found Sunday hidden in 39-year-old Anett...

I feel the same way. It seems like Puerto Penasco is ran by politicians who know nothing about how tourism works. They truly believe that if tourist comes to RP that Police and Businesses must rip off the tourist for as much as money as possible so that the tourist come back again and again...

yeah, drug cartel spotters got murdered on top of the Cubabi mountain. It is located 30 miles south east of Sonoyta.

LOL, I agree

If it is too good to be true then it is. This vendor works on short term basis pulling aggressive vending tactics like this, he will never establish reputation like that and will never have customer base. Some of that shrimp is not even Mexican, it is Asian farm frozen shrimp, it all depends...

Tourists being ripped off in Puerto Penasco on exchange rate is nothing new, it has always been going on. PP well established it's reputation for that and it is a shame. Have been going to PP for 22 years now, but this is the first time I read something as ridiculous as peso to dollar then back...

They did try that, depends on a year. Sometimes they do control the traffic to Malecon or mirador or esplanada. Thing with the locals is the same thing that was in USA back in 50s you get a car and you get your friends and you cruise the strip, the more packed the traffic the more ambient there...

Don't be fooled. In mexico everything new that gets build is used for propaganda for local politicians. Mexicans never benefit, Mexicans pay one of the most expensive electrical bills in the world. Look how much money will be invested in putting up those wind turbines, Mexicans will have to be...

I congratulate Mexican federal authorities. At least they trying to save the species.

money talks in mexico. That is how always have been

Why not make a poster in Spanish, put a photo of 500 pesos bill next to dog photo. And say: pago 500 pesos por devolucion de mi perro.

Yes. It is a sad fact. Mexico spends lots of money promoting Mexico as tourist destination but fail to see what is the biggest turn off to foreign tourists. We all know local Mexicans all drive 20kmh over the speed limit anywhere in mexico but you as a gringo tourist will be targeted by all...
