Think Texas or LA-ranch fancy, summer party Ralph Lauren… Northern Mexicans dress fancier on the weekend than we do in the US. Expect to see lots of suit coats, linen pants, and dresses. Valle can be windy and sunny. Since we'll be out all day, expect the weather to be cool in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and chilly upon return. Bring a hat and a jacket.

Hand Sanitizer: While we will have some hand sanitizer available, it is a good idea to bring some with. Water: We will have complimentary water during our transits to and from the border. Most of the venues we will visit will have bottled water available. Note, if you are concerned about water quality in Mexico, please ask for ‘no ice’.

Get your Mexican Pesos before you leave. For each day of your visit, you’ll need roughly: $150-300 US for food and wine, and an additional $20 US for gratuities. Gratuities in MX are 10-20% of your bill. Please plan to tip your driver and waitstaff. Exchange Rate: As of April 2026, the Peso (MXN) was 1=.057 US dollars, or $17 MXN for every $1 US. Rates change daily.
