Get your passport ready! Today our adventure takes us across into Baja namely to the city of Mexicali, Old Mexico. Mexicali is known as “the city that captured the sun” and is surrounded by valleys and farmland, famous for its agriculture. For years this unique gem in northern Mexico was populated by more Chinese than Mexicans; it is a unique world that combines Chinese pagodas with Mexican pueblos, both cultures side by side. Our guide will take us on a fascinating tour of this city; seeing the historic district through the hidden basements and tunnels of La Chinesca (old china town). You can’t leave Mexicali if you haven’t tried one of the typical dishes, (Chinese food) considered one of the best in all Mexico because of their heritage and Chinese traditions. We will have time for shopping before leaving Mexico. After this exciting tour we head back to California for our overnight in El Centro.
