International Travel

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument contains 30 miles of the US-Mexico Border in the monument. Many visitors plan a trip to Mexico as part of their visit to this beautiful area, visiting the town of Sonoyta and the small beach city of Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point).

A port of entry exists in the town of Lukeville, AZ, five miles south of the Kris Eggle Visitor Center. Its hours of operation are from 6am to 8pm daily. Before traveling internationally, there are a few key things to remember:

• A valid passport is required for re-entry into the United States
• Mexican law requires you to have Mexican auto insurance; US and Canadian auto insurance is not valid in Mexico
• The nearest locations to purchase Mexican auto insurance are in Lukeville and Ajo, AZ
• Most rental car companies do not permit their vehicles to enter Mexico
