Going to Juarez

[chinman 0]

Eventually my fiancee's appointment will be in Juarez, and I'm curious as to how others have gone to Juarez? Looking at flights, the flight to El Paso is about 1/3 of the flight to Juarez. With all the violence in the cities, what is the best way to get to a hotel near the US Embassy in Juarez?

Fly to El Paso, take a taxi to a hotel near the Embassy.

Here is the phone # of a taxi driver that was very reasonable in price. He charged $35 from El Paso to Juarez. He was very professional and polite and drives a very clean-comfortable van for American Shuttle. His name is Alfredo Delgado (speaks English/Spanish) and can be reached by cell # 915-637-4988 (If he is still there. We used his service about 2 years ago). He is very knowledgeable and trust worthy.

We stayed at the hotel just down the street. Not a fancy hotel, but we liked being close. We never felt in danger, but again, this was 2 years ago.

good luck,

Christine and Armando

I was there this past week.

Get a cab from the airport (El Paso) and book a room at the Holiday Inn Express. Be prepared for your trip to extend. I arrived on Sunday night and left Juarez on Thursday morning.

Any more questions please ask.

Will the taxi at the airport in El Paso take you into Juarez? Any idea on the cost?

Why did your stay get extended?

Why did your stay get extended?

There is a lot of reason's why someone's trip gets extended, consulate office closed, consulate rep tells you to come back next day, DHL takes forever to give approved visa, etc...

But I would recommend flying in to El Paso, and then getting a taxi to drive you over to the new consulate. You should stay at the Holiday Inn Express. Stayed their myself in March. Excellent location. Everything you need is within walking distance.

My signature has a link to the map of the new consulate location.
