el paso to ciudad juarez

[jose_leti 7]

this question is for the mexico consulate members.

did you cross into juarez from el paso tx. im looking at airfare and its cheaper to just cross the border from el paso to ciudad juarez, but im worried about the safety.

any details please let me know if you have done this.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I've read post's where others have done it. Would be nice to know how did you get from the airport to the hotel in Ciudad Juarez.

I crossed from juarez to el paso and everything was perfectly ok. I would assume things should work the same from el paso to juarez. There should be cabs at the border to take to your hotel if you plan on walking across. Look around the forums, i read a lot of stuff about people taking border cabs from the el paso airport to the hotel in juarez for like $50. Hope you find good information!

I guess I'm not sure what is meant by "walking"? So from the El Paso to Juarez you can cross with a cab from the airport to the hotel. But when when you are coming from Juarez to El Paso you have to go "walking"? Anyway, so a cab drops you off somewhere, I would imagine the Boarding Crossing building or something? not quite sure and haven't read anything that is detailed enough to understand.

When I heare "walking" makes me feel I'll be "walking the plank"

Brex, did you ever find out about this? I see your wife was just approved (Congrats!!) but I saw this old post and it got me to thinking too. Did you/your wife have to walk across the line coming back? Seems a little strange to talk about it lol

This information is requested often. I have agreement from Admiral Ewok to pin the relevant details, si man, but I need for the original poster to come back to extract them.
