Puerto Penasco Travel Tips

The paradise of Puerto Penasco is one of the most beautiful places in Mexico. The deep blue sea with the yellow sand combines a contrast for the eyes that acts almost like a therapeutic drug. This is evident by the massive interest that Rocky Point has been garnering from US tourists over the last few years. This is mainly due to the advancements the locality has made in the past few years as well as the fact that it is only a 3.5 hour drive away from Pheonix, making it a perfect weekend excursion for residents of California and Arizona. So, without further ado, here are some important tips that you must consider when traveling to Puerto Penasco.

Are US Dollars accepted in Mexico?

One of the biggest pluses of Puerto Penasco is that US Dollars are widely accepted as a currency there. So, you do not need to go through the painful process of exchanging your hard-earned dollars. You just go there and spend it as you wish. Moreover, I would recommend always keeping some extra cash at hand that you might only need only for emergencies. This will help you immensely as you never know what might happen. Although, considering the fact that Puerto Penasco is extremely safe, the only emergencies you will have are that you might run out of Tequilla.

Do you need Mexican auto insurance?

Picture this: You are driving along the breathtaking highway on your way to Puerto Penasco while already having booked a room in Las Palomas. All of the sudden, you are in an accident with another car. Then you realize this one crucial bit of information: US Insurance policies will naturally not carry over to this place. So, in the vein of safety, you are 100% recommended to buy Mexican Auto Insurance along the way. This might feel like an added expense but I am telling you from experience, when you have insurance covering your back, the whole experience is just so much more stress-free.

Should you keep your passport with you?

Although this is a thankfully border-free zone, one has to still keep their passport with them at all times. People are generally required to show them when re-entering US territory, but it is very important that you keep it as close to you as possible. This also includes any children you might have in the car accompanying you.

Is Mexican fuel more expensive than US fuel?

A tip that is going to help you save a lot of money is that you must fill your tanks before you enter Mexico as gas is much more expensive there. Even though the difference in the per-gallon rate might not seem much to you at the moment, trust me, it really adds up as you go along. So, it is ideal to have filled up as much fuel as you can in your car before entering Mexico since that will help you to a great extent in terms of saving money.

Don’t forget the essentials

This is more of a general travel tip than a Puerto Penasco travel tip but it holds the same weightage. When you are packing for your trip, just make sure that you have everything that you can put in your car with you. Pack any food that you might want to bring along for the ride. Pack the kind of clothes that the weather in Puerto Penasco requires. Pack First-Aid Kits. Pack sunscreen as well. I think that you sufficiently get the gist of what I am saying. Basically, anything that you can dislodge from your house and put into your car, you should bring it along. The idea is to prepare for the worst in situations like these and always going the extra mile while doing that will help you get saved from a lot of grief in the future.

Drive carefully

The last thing that you want to do when in a foreign country is to break its laws. When you are driving along, just make sure that you are adhering to the road safety regulations under Mexican Law. Being pulled over will only really create a very awkward situation for you and cause you inconvenience more than anything. Moreover, the road safety regulations when going to Puerto Penasco are only there to protect everyone on the road, so you will be doing yourself as well as everyone else a massive favor if you follow the law.

Check fluid levels of your car

Always remember that this in its essence a road trip. The biggest companion for everyone on a road trip is always the vehicle that they are traveling in. So, make sure that check the fluid levels of your car. The car should be in tip-top condition. It doesn’t hurt to clean it up and give it a nice little makeover.

Which resort should you stay in?

Well, once you have reached Puerto Penasco, choosing a nice resort will define your experience for you. Las Palomas is a really solid choice. Las Palomas Phase III is a new state-of-the-art luxury condominium complex. They have some amazing luxury condos for sale right now that are priced at a very reasonable level for the kind of amenities that they are offering, with the possibility of good capital gains acting as an added benefit.
