Details of a corporate Trip

Trip description

Our corporate service trips provide the perfect landscape for groups to serve together and build stronger team unity. These trips bring teams closer together and deeper camaraderie is formed.

travel

You will be required to get yourself to San Diego at a meeting point close to the border. If using your own transportation, special ivehicle insurance is required in Mexico and costs roughly $35 / day. We can provide transportation to and from airport and/or vans for crossing into Mexico upon request.

Border crossing

Crossing the border is a fun experience that we will do together. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours. You will need a passport, but it is possible to cross with proof of citizenship (drivers license and a copy of original birth certificate).
