Mexicali is a vibrant city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and welcoming atmosphere. With its diverse population, its food, music and artistic culture, and its landscapes, Mexicali captivates visitors with its authentic charm. You can do many things like shopping, discovering different cultures, work or just recreation. Indeed, Mexicali is a treasure waiting to be discovered.

The sister city relationship between Mexicali and Calexico shows the close bond between border towns. Despite differences, they work together in trade and culture. Walmart Numero 1 is a key example, drawing shoppers from both sides. Mexicali's vibrant streets with mariachi music contrast Calexico's quieter agricultural areas and bustling downtown. These atmospheres blend, creating a unique border experience where cultures mix, and economies thrive.

Every day, Mexican students brave the Trump border wall to attend school in the U.S., enduring trips lasting up to three hours. This commute often leads to tardiness, affecting around 85% of the school's student body. To cross the border, they rely on student visas. Losing one of their two passports means being unable to cross for three months. Occasionally, their morning journeys are marred by violence, with police shields pushing them back, adding another layer of challenge to their already demanding routine. Their goal by going to these schools is to have opportunities and even to bring changes in Mexico

Every day, some peoples cross the border to work in Mexicali's fields. They endure hours of waiting on the streets before their shifts begin.
