- You need to fly to Tucson airport (TUS) which is the closest to Nogales, Mexico.
- If you rent a car, drive from Tucson to Nogales, Arizona until the border; park your car at the border for around $5 a day.
- Or you can also take a shuttle at the Tucson airport to reach Nogales Mexico border which will cost you approximately $10.00 USD. All the shuttle services close at 8:00 PM, so it’s better to be in Tucson airport by 7:30 PM or before. For any cab/shuttle services after 8:00 PM, they will charge you around $100 to $150 USD.
- At the border you will have signs to Mexico and walk into the round gates to enter Nogales, Mexico. (The US-Mexico border divides Nogales into two and the city in US comes under Arizona where as the other part in Mexico comes under Sonora, Mexico)
- Take a cab and go the nearby hotel, which is Fray Marcos De Niza. The cost for one night is approx. $54. Ask for a room with WI-FI access as only some rooms have that.
