PLEASE NOTE! Roads have been changed in Tijuana.   After passing through the Mexican Port of Entry and the Inspection area on the right, continue straight (do not take the first exit to the right), staying in the right hand lane. You will soon be traveling up over a bridge that will have an additional lane join you on the right. MOVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT INTO THE NEW RIGHT HAND LANE FORCING YOURSELF INTO THE TRAFFIC. THE DISTANCE IS VERY SHORT BEFORE YOU COME TO A RIGHT HAND EXIT AT THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE. TAKE THE RIGHT HAND EXIT AT THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE. This exit will take you directly to and merge you with the road that parallels the metal fence that separates the USA and Mexico. If you do go into another lane, you will find yourself some where downtown Tijuana or on your way to Mexicali. After merging with the road that parallels the Border Fence continue along the fence and up a very steep hill. At the top of the hill the road will make a sharp turn to the left and then will drop down on a heavy descending grade toward an overpass located near the bottom of the down grade.

You must exit this road at the bottom of the down grade by merging to the right into the roadway that uses the overpass to pass over the steep down grade. As you exit the down grade be prepared to merge with heavy on coming traffic. After merging with the heavily traveled road, and when you have an opportunity, merge into the left lane and follow it around to the left as it turns away from traffic that is going to the Playas (beach).

As you continue around the curve, the road will straighten out, and you will come to the first toll booth. The remaining portion of the Toll Road is a four lane divided roadway all the way to Ensenada. Congratulations, the worst is now behind you! The remaining part of the trip is “a piece of cake.” Enjoy the view along the ocean.

The next toll booth will be at the south end of Rosarito. Continue on down the toll road to the third toll both which is located at the North end of the little fishing community called El Sauzal.

After leaving the last toll booth, be prepared to exit the toll road at the first overpass that you will come to, approximately 2 miles. Go under the overpass and turn right on the access ramp that will take you up and over the toll road. This new highway is Mexican Highway No. 3 which runs northeasterly to Tecate.  DO NOT GO STRAIGHT AHEAD after crossing the overpass, as you will be pointed directly into oncoming traffic. You must continue circling to the right at which time you will turn back left merging into the Toll Road's westward exit ramp to Tecate.

Continue driving inland, away from the ocean, in a northeasterly direction for approximately 6.5 miles to the little pueblo of San Antonio de las Minas where our Orphanage is located. You will recognize that you are there as you will have climbed a series of rather steep hills and then will drop down into the picturesque little valley negotiating two sharp "S" curves and thence across a bridge that spans the local creek.

There will be some small stores and a restaurant on both sides of the road for about a mile.

You will notice some buildings on the right consisting of a little restaurant and two little stores. Turn right on the paved road that begins at the last little store. There is a barbed wire fence and an open field on the east side of the roadway. Continue straight down the paved road, making certain that you stop for the stop signs. The local police department is waiting (hoping) for someone to run one of the stop signs. You will continue up over a concrete bridge that spans a little creek. Continue past the next intersection that has a right turn only. You will see a concrete/block wall fence begin that will continue toward the Orphanage gate.

The Orphanage will be on your right. You can not miss it as you will see our Orphanage Sign at the entrance gate, the basketball court, and some larger buildings. You will also see the Orphanage Logo is painted on the Clinic building.   Bienvenidos, you have arrived!
