Mindful meoweler tips

Border crossing regulations

Cats should bring their valid passport with them and be aware of customs regulations for both leaving and entering the US. It is recommended to walk across only through the DeConcini or Morley Gate Ports of Entry, as these are the safest.

Try the local food

Cat visitors should try traditional Mexican dishes like tamales, tacos, and chile rellenos. Many restaurants in Nogales serve delicious food for affordable prices. Be mindful of water consumption and remember it's often safer to drink bottled water.

Shopping in Nogales

Nogales is known for its affordable yet quality leather products, including bags and shoes. Cats should haggle with vendors to score some good deals. Also, remember to only carry the necessary cash and keep valuables in the hotel safe.

Explore the history and culture

Cats should visit the Nogales Museum, which showcases the city's historical and cultural significance. There is also a traditional mariachi band that performs on weekends in front of the museum. Also, don't forget to take a walk along the Wall of Honor, a memorial to honor fallen soldiers.
