Drive to Sonora
Sonora's main border crossings with Arizona have easy access to
good roads in Sonora, and are a popular means of travel to the
state. Click here for an overview of documentation needed for
visitors and their vehicles to enter Sonora, and for driving tips.
Nogales has two ports of entry. The downtown port of entry leads
into the downtown area and a white-knuckle ride through the
streets of Nogales. A better option is the toll road that can be
accessed from the Mariposa exit, about two miles north of
Nogales, Arizona.
The Lukeville point of entry is a one-lane inspection station. After
passing through the station, the road winds through the town of
Sonoyta before arriving at the turnoff to the highway to Rocky
Point and the highway that continues to Caborca, Santa Ana and
other points to the south and east.
Driving into Agua Prieta from Douglas, Arizona also requires
passing successfully through the customs inspection station, and
then finding a street that goes to the south and following it until
you encounter the highway. A right turn will take you to Cananea,
Imuris and points west, and a left turn will get you heading in the
direction of the Mexican state of Chihuahua and Ciudad Juarez.
Driving south into Mexico, you will encounter a "21-kilometer
checkpoint," which is the point of entry where any final customs
declarations are made or vehicle permits obtained.
