Why Tijuana, Mexico? Tijuana is only 10 minutes from San Diego, California. So it is the easiest and most hassle-free major Mexican city to travel to from the U.S. You can book an inexpensive flight from any major city in the U.S. to San Diego and our driver will take you to and from San Diego International Airport, so all you have to worry about is your recovery and not the hassle of international air travel. Some Mexican cities are two to three hours from the nearest airport; Tijuana is only 15 minutes away. Crossing the border is done swiftly thanks to the special lane for foreign surgical patients.
You can also take advantage of the strong dollar to peso exchange rate and even do a little shopping at any of the Duty Free stores in the city. [more]
