In addition to the important
cultural interchange that takes place along the U.S.-Mexico border, the
northern frontier region has countless natural paradises, a wide array of
entertainment options and traditional festivities that the whole family can
enjoy in a multicultural environment. As you explore this region, you?ll be
amazed by the spectacular terrain of the Copper Canyon, a canyon system in the
state of Chihuahua that has incredible waterfalls, caverns, lakes and thermal
springs. If you want something closer to the ocean, the port of Ensenada, in
Baja California, will overwhelm you with its beautiful scenery and cosmopolitan
tourism infrastructure. There, thousands of tourists arrive on cruise ships and
many go to witness the migration of the gray whale. In Puerto Peñasco, Sonora,
you?ll find numerous places to do such exciting activities as sportfishing,
hunting and hiking through the desert that surrounds the beautiful port town by
the Sea of Cortez. A few kilometers from San Diego, you can enjoy a wide
variety of entertainment in Tijuana, including amusement parks, shopping
centers, bars, restaurants and racetracks. It?s no wonder why Tijuana is the
most visited border city in the nation. Finally, in Monterrey, you can enjoy a
traditional and modern atmosphere. Monterrey is one of Mexico?s most developed
industrialized cities and it has an eclectic offering of cultural centers,
museums and nature parks, where you can go climbing, camping and do ecotourism
outings. The more you see, the longer you?ll want to stay to continue
discovering its many wonders.
