Mexico Bass fishing, Anglers Inn-Lake El Salto

San Fernando is located in the Tamaulipas state of Mexico and only about 85 miles south of Brownsville, TX. This region is known as the breadbasket of Mexico as you will see millions of acres of fertile fields covered with Milo. Within a short drive from the city, you can be hunting ducks on the famous Laguna Madre, flushing bobwhite quail on century old hedgerows, or taking aim on exciting dove hunts. This area is truly a sportsman paradise right out our backdoor.

U.S citizens must have a current passport valid 6 months past your date of travel in order to enter Mexico. Non-U.S. citizens must confer with their consulates to verify required documentation for travel.

The national currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso. Prices throughout the country are commonly shown with a dollar-sign ($) in front of the Peso amount; and although in some parts of the country businesses willingly accept U.S. dollars, it's almost always more advantageous (less expensive) for travelers to pay with Mexican Pesos. Likewise, certain people on the receiving end of your payment (e.g. waitstaff, bartenders, chambermaids, et cetera) generally prefer Mexican currency, to save them the inconvenience of a trip to the bank or a stop at a Cambio on their day off. Remember there is a difference between the sell rate and the buy rate so your foreign currency tip will be worth less than intended.

It's also strongly advised that travellers call their bank(s) and/or credit-card companies prior to departure, to inform them of their impending travel plans. Otherwise, they might run into some difficulties with their cards. One should also be aware that 'foreign currency transaction fees' and/or 'ATM withdrawal fees' may be incurred when using either type of card.

In Mexico the standard voltage is 127 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Mexico, because the standard voltage (127 V) is (more or less) the same as in the United States of America (120 V). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account.

Many older hotels still have electrical outlets for flat two-prong plugs; you'll need an adapter for any plug with an enlarged end on one prong or with three prongs. Adapters are available in most electronics stores. Many better hotels have three-hole outlets similar to the outlets in the US.
