Day 1 - Feast and Fiesta!

La Chinesca district is where we're kicking off your Mexicali adventure in style. Trust me, the Chinatown here is as much Mexican as it's Chinese, presenting a wonderful fusion of cultures giving birth to Mexican-Chinese cuisine. Ever thought you'd try tacos with a Chinese twist? Well, now's your chance! Post feasting, we move towards the heart of the city to witness the exquisite Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A beau of gothic architecture amidst the modern cityscape never felt so appealing, right? As you quench your cultural thirst, let's not forget about the actual thirst in the desert heat! Finish off the first day with a cool sip of locally brewed beer at the amazing Cucapá Brewery. Now that's what I call a day of taste and wonder!

Day 2 – Delve into History and Art!

What says good morning better than the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee from Café La Finca? After getting your much-needed caffeine fix, we're then heading to the Museo Sol del Niño, an interactive science museum that's sure to ignite that child-like curiosity in you. Do you feel the excitement stirring up? Next, we're visiting the City Center's Plaza de toros Calafia, a classic Bullfighting ring. Hold onto that wide-eyed wonder, because we're not done yet! Our exploration then carries us into the world of art and urban expression at the city's splendid mural art around 2nd Street, a vivid reflection of Mexicali's diverse heritage and historical struggles. After a day deep in culture, unwind at the cozy Razo’s Restaurant & Bar with great music and scrumptious food. Sounds like quite the day, doesn't it?

Day 3 - A Date with Nature!

For our grand finale, we're taking you to the outskirts. Ready for a tryst with nature? Ditch the city hustle and bustle and head over to the serene Parque Vicente Guerrero, where the green expanses and tranquil lake set the perfect tone for relaxation. Can't you just imagine already, the poetic rustle of leaves paired with the chirps of morning birds? After reinvigorating your soul, we'll introduce you to a different kind of invigorating at the Craft Market bustling with local handicrafts, souvenirs, and traditional spices. It’s about time you bag a bit of Mexicali to take back home! Finally, as the sun begins to set, we cap off this memorable three-day journey with a visit to Casino Arenia. Poker face on, anyone? Whether you're betting or just watching others, it's a thrilling way to wrap up your Mexicali escapade!

What's the best time to visit Mexicali?

Is it safe to travel to Mexicali?

Yes, Mexicali is generally considered safe for tourists. Like any city, it’s recommended that you keep yourself updated on safe travel practices, stay in well-traveled areas, and avoid venturing out late at night.

Do I need to know Spanish to navigate through Mexicali?
