South of Sancristobal Mexico to Guatamala border crossing
Crossed a couple days ago . Very straight forward. When close to border watch for an official looking building on the left.( Bunch of taxis parked on the right side of the street that may kick in the location to watch for. I would have missed the imigration office entirely if i had not stopped to ask the taxi drivers where to go and had them point across the street) It has imigration and aduana in it. Get stamped out at imigration and then aduana. Hop on bike and drive 3 kilometers till you get to a crap load of locals selling their stuff and continue. The road takes a fork to the right and heads downhill that seems like you are on a side street but shortly you turn left and go up a steep hill then right turn back onto the main road again. ( This may have been a temporary diversion in which case you would have just gone straight instead of taking the fork to the right.) A 100 metres or so and you are at the Guatamala border. On the left is the imigration office.On the right about 10 metres further on the right side is the guy with the bug spray that charges a bit. Just next door to that on the right side again is the aduana.
I dont recall fees but only 20 pesos at aduana and next to nothing else. There is a money changer at guatamala border. Check the rates before you get there. I got 7 Q to 1 US Not bad.
