Airport information

The local organising committee highly recommends to fly into Juarez airport directly. It is also possible to fly into El Paso, USA, however, to avoid long waiting times at the border, Juarez airport will be a better choice. The LOC will provide a pick-up on both airports though. The pick-up in El Paso may take longer due to possible delays at the border.

Coming by car When driving to Mexico, an insurance is required. Please contact Sanborns Maxico Auto Insurance, Ms. Gloria Nunez for more information: Phone: +1 915 774 9633
