Carry low currency bills too. Singles through twenties. Makes things more negotiable. From experience.
THATS A GREAT TIP!!!!
About everything being "negotiable": People in Mexico are not rich, a few dollars for you might not make a difference in your every day life, but for many of them it means a lot. Keep this in mind and try to be generous, as human beings we must take care of each other.
your correct i have changed my mind of things over time im also poor and thank you for stating this
By the way if you are US CItizen and don’t have your passport you can cross the border. The Officer will definitely ask you 100000 questions send probably send you to secondary check but they have to let you in :)
Ur advices are soo gr8, thx !!!
I live in Puerto penasco Sonora Mexico. I don't have a passport and I go into the USA all the time. and I've lived here for 4 yrs we go on the back roads all the time at night never see shit. don't know what he's talking about hahahaha. love living here in Mexico it's a calmer more tranquil life. The rest of what he's saying is GOOD.
lol thanks so much for watching!
Puerto Peñasco is pretty ugly, not gonna lie, it's all tagged up and everything
shelah garcia-vasquez i stay there on vacation every year with all my family and it’s like actually so safe i guess because we’re mexican??? there were only some fake military officers lol😂
Do you live by playa bonita?
Real talk, nothing incendiary. He’s just basically saying, have fun don’t be dumb! Thumbs up
LOL THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING THIS MESSAGE TOO MANY PEOPLE TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY HAVE A GREAT DAY MAN!
I’m Mexican and that was still very helpful
We went to puerto peñasco last year it was so fun
Angy Wiebe I love it every time I go :-) it's amazing there the whole video basically just means if you don't look for trouble you won't find it but apparently everybody's taking it the wrong way
I been visiting rp for 30 yrs and is safer than other places in mx and it's better every time I come over and safer...
you are so right when i began going a while back it was rougher but has gotten much better over time
This guy is complete bullshit lol he makes rocky point seem like its infested with crime I laughed throughout the whole video.
Javier Gonzalez quite the contrary Javier you will find crime wherever you seek it Mexico can be an extremely great safe and awesome place and it can also be a very dangerous place I've been stabbed twice there I'm not saying that that happens to everybody by any means but I will say people that are going there to party and that are unfamiliar with the rules regulations and how things are going should be safe and this video can be helpful to many people I've been there many many many times since the age of 12 years old I'm now 35 and I've gone more X than I've been alive you are going to view this video in whichever way you want I'm simply giving people tips on what I know is a reality in Puerto Penasco when you cross the border you are in a different place and you need to know these things thank you so much for watching my video and I'm glad you had a good life have a beautiful day and remember to spread love not hate
Only in Mexico though? You seem like somebody who would get stabbed everywhere you go; onna counta that attitude problem, lol.
There is trouble in every city. One word of advice stay out of ghetto areas
It is
Ive been going to puerto peñasco since i was 7 and I'm now 17 and a lot of the things you said are kinda accurate. However its worth it because puerto peñasco is easily one of my favorite places in the world. But um you can actually camp on the beaches but you cant stay there too long.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AMAZING DAY
Yes you can ride your quad at the beach and you can camp.
Thanks for the info man 💜
My first time going , last min trip my wife planned . I wanted to know if they accept Us currency if not where can I get pesos in rocky point ?
that place is awsome
i agree i love it there
It's not corrupt it's just more of a straight pay method. Here in the us cops give tickets to collect the money that eventually goes around back to them
That's an interesting way of thinking about it but I feel like if that was the truth then there would be a fixed rate they wouldn't start at $300 and take 15 because it's all you had in your wallet I've been to this region close to a hundred times and I feel it's safe to say that it is corrupt it doesn't mean it's a bad place I love Mexico and I also love Rocky Point I will probably be down there in the near future but unfortunately it is corrupt
im going to a small condo/beach resort town thingy in rocky point from tuesday through sunday. any advice? my dad's partner has an condo there where we can crash (im 13 sister is 9 mom and dad are 41
to be completely honest just have a good time it's an amazing place I would recommend going on the party boats because they're super affordable and a ton of fun you can find information about them at the Docks me and my son went last time and had a great time a few months ago if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask And subscribe
Great video, great advice. I used to go to rocky point quite often between 1991 and 1997, I was between the ages of 16 and 22. My uncle has a cabin in Cholla bay that he bought in 1988 and still has. He always had several ATC's, one of which was always the one that I rode. Here is a funny, true story... It was either 1992 or 1993 so I was either 17 or 18. I was riding through Cholla bay and the policia pulled me over for speeding. They had this old Chevy van that was sitting on blocks and there were metal bars welded across where the windows used to be, it was a makeshift jail cell. They chained my 3-wheeler to that van until I drove to the courthouse in rocky point, paid a $20.00 fine and brought the receipt back to them. LOL! In 1998 my uncle gave me that same 3-wheeler because it had been sitting and not many people were spending very much time down there. So I brought it home to Tucson and got it all cleaned and fixed up for my girlfriend to ride. then at one point the dirt bike that I normally rode wasn't running so my friend and I took the ATC out riding. Now the not so funny part of the story, I passed down from dehydration while I was going about 50 MPH and when I did I went off the trail and hit a mesquite tree which broke four vertebrae in my neck, pinched my spinal cord and left me paralyzed from the chest down. I went back to rocky point in 2004 and again in 2006 but I haven't been back since. It made me sick to my stomach when I saw a circle K convenience store there! I liked it much better back in the early 90's when there was no electricity, we had oil lamps in the cabin. Another true story , I also had my car stolen from a bar called Ranas Ranas that used to be close to the Pitaya bar. My friend and I walked the back streets of rocky point fighting off stray dogs for a few miles before we caught a cab. That was an interesting night to say the least! I have a lot of great memories of rocky point! Thanks for sharing the video and have a great day!
Your full of shit too
lol 3rd world country...They got burger King and Sam's club...
Thank you so much for your amazing comment, you are welcome to view the definition of 3rd world country which includes latin america but im not here to argue just to educate
Drink the tap water, super tasty
And have fun being sick for a week. I know this from experience visiting Mexico. It's a shit hole.
I always go with just my birth certificate and social and make it back fine
becareful the law is changing soon
I've got friends that go there all the time, never heard anything bad about Puerto peñasco.
Jeez. Another expert
I'm mexican and still get nervous around federales
Lol I think we all do I'm pretty sure that's the strategy
I’ll be down in a few days for awhile
Can I use my birth certificate and a real ID to get into rocky point
yes they dont check on the way in they check when you re enter
this video does not have anything to do with "rocky point"
Thank you so much for your positive response have an amazing day
Forget this video! There is only one thing you should know, that it's fuckin awesome!!
Do you recommend me taking my ATVs ? Or renting them there its a better option?
Eliver Orozco i have quads and id rent theres they are not fast as mine but they see money when u have them and target you if your going on a busy weekend go for it otherwise leave the stress behind bro
1bigimpact thanks man. Have you had any issues crossing the ATVs to Méx and back to US. Do they ask u for any paperwork for the ATVs?
Eliver Orozco they do occasional checks coming back into the u.s. and if you don't have paperwork for them they will confiscate them as well as when you in Mexico if you don't have paperwork The Mexican government can pretty much do whatever the hell they want
ive paid federales so many times. this is typical once a year visitor logic. back roads arent bad.i go biweekly to mex, never had issues.
I got carded at the reef because I was a girl but while arguing with security he let 3 for sure under 16 year old boys walk right thru
it's funny you mention that because I went there with a chick last time and she got carded and they didn't mess with me at all and I thought it was pretty jacked up and they gave her a huge hard time about it so yeah you're totally right
This video scared me 😭😭😭 I dun wanna go now!!!!!!
Kat Wolfe trust me you still want to go
don't be scared it's lot's of fun.
Well then don’t go. Nobody is going to cry
i feel compelled to comment. I think you gave great advice. I've lived here 11 years. it is 3rd world country in that it's not democracy here.its COOL if you get stopped for minor [ run stop sign,seatbelt,speed, etc) pay cop on the STREET.If you go to comandante station, you have to pay more Policia,judge,etc. givi him $20 USD [ they love dolares) be happy.no court dates, no points off license etc.also pain meds vicodan ,percocet,morphinr is extremely expensive ! no sctipt needed.$11 for Vicodan percs. $20 for 30 mg.oxy.xanax[bars),valium, etc. are cheap, viagra, antibiotics? cheap.no scrjpt. Also, FEDERALES??!!! DO NOT EVEN LOOK OR SMILE OR SAY BOO!!! AND IF YOU HAVE NO PASSPORT, YOU CAN PLEAD IGNORANCE ABD USE LICENSE.BIRTH CERTIFICATE ETC. THERE ARE 3 OR 4 CHECKPOINTS.LIKE HE SAID COME ON IN NO PROBLEMS, LEAVING? NO PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP? REDLIGHT AND YOU ARE NOW LIVING IN MEX. 3rd world COUNTRY? ABSOLUTELY!!!
I agree its crazy different and fun but as long as you use common sense and are not a jerk you are usually fine!!! hey you should post some pics on my facebook group called world travelers also when do i get to come stay at your place lol thanks for posting!!
The law says if your an american citizen they cannot denied you entry. But they will cite you with a 500 dollar penalty other than that great vid
hey thanks for the info!!!!!
I mean I get what you're saying but Sonora is literally one of the coolest parts of Mexico I'm sure you can drive around for hours with out seeing people because it's majority desert and ocean and not to mention the women are hot go to Hermosillo you'll see what I'm talking about but you seem like a nice guy so not hate
I LOVE MEXICO I THINK IT MAY HAVE JUST CAME OUT WRONG!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS
What about the water there?
I LOVE THE WATER THERE!!!!
MUCH CLEANER BEACHES THAN CALI
1bigimpact Okay good!
Me watching this at the beach laying down in the sand
thats awesome!!!!! enjoy i love mexico!!!
this greengo esta loco ...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS~!!!!
I'm currently on my way there using my ID jesus
dont stress its fun there just dont look for trouble!!!
Rocky Point the biggest party town? u never been in the Philippines
Not yet I haven't
I'm going tomorrow
sweet make sure you drive around with at least 40 to $50 in cash I'm dead serious because they tried to take me to jail when I was there a couple weeks ago I'm not trying to deter you from going because it's f****** awesome you have to go but just make sure you got cash with you because they'll let you go if you have money
1bigimpact what were you doing they tried to take you to jail? Thats the real question please dont make it seem like a bad place just because you feel like the owners of the world
plain and simple, give your warnings about it to the same kind of person than you are, hypocrisy goes along with you, you say you travel a lot, then just stay out of the places you don't like, your experience doesn't mean that is the norm, there are people who had a bad experience going to your country, you could say, don't come here, well, I'd say the same don't come here.
i love mexico the culture and the people but thank you!!!!
You're the type of dude who would go to mexico and light off fire works there for 4th of July.
why we seel fireworks here
I don’t know why he is making it seem like the worst place to go.it is really cool and fun it’s the best place to go too.i know because I have gone there like about 8 times you never get boerd of it.
I made another video about this recently because I think people misinterpreted it I love Mexico I love the Hispanic culture and I love going to Rocky Point I just want people to remember to be safe and respect the people's country and their privacy and not be dumb so they don't get hurt
last time I went to rocky point I got pulled over twice in one night and then I was out $350 and my $200 pair of Oakley sunglasses 😂😂
LOL that's crazy I think it's funny when people think I'm over exaggerating that just tells me they're not white boys and they don't know what the hell it's like LOL but I even have Mexican friends that go with me and they have had the same issues LOL
Yea people think just because it's a big party town it's just all fun and games but Mexico is crazy...you can literally get thrown in jail just for looking at a cop wrong 😂
@@MinecraftForLife11 exactly it's all fun and games till u locked up and they take ur car....because they can
Exactly when I got pulled over they threatened to take me to jail and take my truck unless I paid them off...and people think it's all a joke lol
@@MinecraftForLife11 yeah it's hilarious I was with my fifteen-year-old son the last time I was there literally causing no problems whatsoever I got pulled over and we had $80 left for the entire trip stupidly I opened my wallet to grab my license and he's like follow me to the jail I'm like I'm not following you anywhere and he goes well then give me the money in your wallet and I said I only have $80 he said that is perfect give me all of it I said but I don't have any money for food he said follow me to the jail I said fine here's a f****** money and he left we literally had to come home three days early because of that my son was more Angry than me he was like Dad why did you give him your money I was like I don't think your fifteen-year-old ass would last in a Mexican jail LOL
Been there multiple times... never had one issue this guy is talking about....
Thank you so much for your kindness and support have a wonderful day
Agree with everything just not the third world country, they have Sam's burger king and kfc plus tons of other fast food joints that third world counties don't have.
Nah fam I don’t need no passport, you’re fine with a birth certificate
I HAVE ASKED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN THE LAST YEAR AND THE LAW IS CHANGING VERY SOON
1bigimpact actually they can only detain you but they can’t deny access if you have an I.d and birth certificate
lol who wants to be detained though
When’s the good part...
If you watch my other video I talk more about Rocky Point and how amazing it is
A passport is needed when flying. Driving you only need a birth certificate and an ID. But get a passport if you can.
The border is closed from 12am-6am. Don't get stuck out there it's really fucking boring.
Make sure you have a good cell phone provider. Having service will make a huge difference.
When you get gas they will have people to pump it for you. Make sure they're actually pumping the gas.
Carry cash, but not too much. Be smart everyone knows you have cash on you.
Don't stop for anyone unless they're government officials.
Wear protection.
It's not that bad of a place, but remember that every big city has problems.
Have fun.
No, nothing is negotiable in México. If you go as a tourist you should paid the price of what people is asking! You don’t negótiate things in the US why going to México and be stingy?People in México are Poor and some times accepted your offer cause could be the only sale they have that day.
Your Apache Junction is showing!
bahahahahahah good one
2 bucks for a viagra thank you sir. You're still alive so they must be okay to take.
You need to travel a little bit more. Talk about rocky point when you all ready experience more then 5 times. Rocky point has more to offer.
LOL I've been there like a hundred times and I have made it updated video about this I love Mexico the people the culture everything
Do You Need A Passport ?
If you are traveling by land you can usually get away with not having one but they may give you some questioning when you are coming back in not that they won't let you back in but sometimes it takes a little bit I hear about friends doing it all the time with no passport
But Yunno With Trump And All These Bullshit Laws .. Would That Boy Blur The Lines A Lil ?
@@perlaneblett1027 I mean you're American so they can't keep you out of your country regardless LOL
I'm a paranoid person so if it were me I would just go get my passport card instead of the book because it's cheaper and as long as you travel by land it is sufficient I think it's like 60 bucks or something or just get your passport and get ready to travel the world :-)
Yeah ! That’s How I Am , I Think I’ll Just Get My Passport Lol .. And Yeah Like You Said Use It For Future Vacation Destinations . Thanks For Everything !
dam that sucks.
Jajajajajaa trut trut jajaja
hilarious
🎓🎓🎓💯💯💯😈😈😈😼😼😼
😂😂😂Im laughing at this shit.dont listen to this guero just know this be calm be cool or else the maña will calm you down😉
This is not an accurate representation of Rocky Point or Mexico in general.
😞🙄🙄
This is all BS
Chow sisters thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement have a wonderful day
No it's not
"How to be a cheap ass in another country"
3rd world countries have star bucks??
OMG THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
third world countries? I guess you've never traveled.
Those are the concerns of white people! It's all good when you speak the language!
over exaggerating white poeple... chill I've lived in Sonora for 15 years and it's safe as heck
Then why is it constantly under "reconsider travel" lmao ok "safe as heck" if it was safe I wouldn't have to reconsider my travels
Pixi you idiot. Anyone would say the same about the US given all those random as mass shootings we get here.
This was way better than the old white people giving all these useless tips
lol thanks man!!!!
this is ridiculous information. don’t expect 65% of what this guy said to be true. I go to penasco every month and he is giving misinformation. 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you so much I hope you have a beautiful day
nice video
Nature Lewis thank you
what he is saying is only in his mind. if you look for trouble, you will find trouble anywhere in the world. i think this dude likes to stereotype and tryes to eat the world in one night. bad dude.
He's hot.
Rocky point is a dump... Poor people vacation there ....
I LOVE ROCKY POINT THANKKS FOR THE OPINION
Your poor you can't go thare because your poor kid poor
