The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from Mexico have a passport to enter or re-enter the United States.  As of December 31, 2006, this requirement will apply to all air and sea travel to or from Mexic

When in South Texas' Lower Rio Grande Valley, you are always reminded that the Republic of Mexico is just a few minutes away.
 
Whether you are just walking across the Rio Grande River to shop or eat, or are planning a wildlife watching trip to Mexico, these links should be of help. 
 
In the same amount of time it takes to drive from the Valley to Houston, you can be in the cloud forests of El Cielo.  In less time than it takes to drive from the Rio Grande Valley to Austin, you can be in in the valleys by Cd. Victoria, and in less time than it takes to drive from the Valley to the Aransas NWR, you can be in the mountains of Monterrey.
 
Wildlife watching in Mexico is a blast...go for it! 
¡Visite México!
