You can get to Reynosa by plane, car, or bus.

[edit] By plane

Reynosa's small regional airport is General Lucio Blanco Airport (IATA: REX), it is located about 5 miles southeast of downtown on Mexico Highway 2 (also known as "Libramiento Monterrey" at this point). The airport handles domestic flights only and is served by three carriers: Alma, Volaris, and Click Mexicana.

U.S. passengers can fly into neighboring McAllen (IATA: MFE), which is served by Allegiant, Continental and American, and then take a taxi or city bus to the Hidalgo border crossing.

[edit] By car

From points in south Texas, take U.S. 83 to McAllen and then exit at 23rd Street (route 115) and head south about 6 miles to the international bridge checkpoint at Hidalgo.

From points in Mexico:

  • Mexico Highway 2 runs parallel to the border and can be used to reach Reynosa from other border cities.
  • Mexico Highway 40 (toll road) can be used to reach Reynosa via Monterrey. The toll is 180 pesos.

The Aduana office to get car import permits is on Alvaro Obregon, just a few blocks to the left as you cross into Reynosa (go left on Miguel Aleman --- it turns into Obregon --- the office is on your left just after you round the bend).

[edit] Stay safe

Reynosa has recently experienced turmoil as federal police continue their crackdown on the Gulf Cartel drug traffickers. It is not advisable to be out on the streets or cross through the city after dark, and most businesses now close by 10pm with frequent military stops and searches occurring after that time. Reynosa's police chief was arrested by federales in March 2008 on suspicion of corruption. Approach Reynosa with caution at this time.
