Funniest Tour

After leaving LA, driving all the way south, you will arrive at the California naval-port city by the Pacific Ocean, San Diego. Then going through Mexico/USA border revolving door, you will see a beautiful border city, Tijuana. Through the window, if you are coming from Tijuana through the Scenic Road, the route will be a total spectacle you’ll be able to witness coastal cliffs and series of soft ridges plunge one by one at the sight on the blue sea. 

It is a free city, a colorful city and also, a city of depravity; illegal immigrants, rum, prostitution, gang war is always the abiding icons of hers. Although this city is still struggling with her poverty and undevelopment, but most of the Mexican folks who are humble, honest and hospitable still lives this beloved place where they were raised. That’s the reason why we choose here as the last station of our long wedding journey. You can experience the most authentic, original Mexican traditional culture.

On weekend, a lot of American will come to Red Light District to have some fun with liquor and enjoy cheap but delicious Mexican traditional food，like Red Light District 24 Hour Street Tacos, at the corner of Calle Coahuila and Ninos Heroes, right across the street from La Perla. Most popular street tacos in Zona Norte, busy with customers at all hours of the night.

Walking through the Red Light District, passing by some little gorgeous multi-color house, you will find the road is becoming wider and wider, then a little church(San Ysidro Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church) will come into views. You will see everyone in church praying piously and calmly. And they just use a more simple way to express a truth about life and transport us to another reality.

Near the gate of church, there are some Mexican young men are selling barbeque. When you were tasting the Mexican flavor, at the same time, you would hear the Latin American music, La Bamba, with guitar and accordion, “Para bailar la bamba, Para bailar la bamba, Se necesita una poca de gracia,Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti”. Speaking of music,doubly true if you're a hipster, El Tinieblo, Moustache Bar, and La Mezcalera are all great options. La Mezcalera has fifteen or more styles of mezcal, most of it flavored with fruits like passionfruit or stuff like caramel, which is really good on the rocks.

Tips:

In Tijuana, you need to pay more attention on your safety. thefts and robberies often happen there. Don't drink in the street. Don't ask strangers where you can score some blow. Don't buy pills you don't need at pharmacies. Don't pee in the street. Sorry to kill your whole trip itinerary, but this is how you'll get yourself into trouble.

The Seaside of Tijuana is the last place you want to go, which is full of smelly household garbage.
