How long did your southbound crossing take?
No reports in the last 2 hours.
Andrade is one of the smallest official US-Mexico land border crossings, located at the southeastern corner of California about 10 miles west of Yuma, Arizona. The US side is a tiny settlement; across the line sits Los Algodones, Baja California — a town known internationally for its dental tourism, pharmacies, and optical shops catering to US and Canadian visitors.
The crossing is dominated by snowbirds and medical tourists. During winter months, the small pedestrian plaza fills with Americans and Canadians visiting Los Algodones for dental work, discount prescriptions, and eyeglasses at a fraction of US prices. Waits are typically short, but the pedestrian lane can back up midday in peak season.
Mornings (6–9 AM) and late afternoons are typically under 15 minutes. Midday, especially November–March, the return crossing from Los Algodones can hit 30–45 minutes as everyone heads back after their appointments.
No. Andrade has standard passenger vehicle and pedestrian lanes only.
Yes. A paid parking lot sits immediately on the US side — most pedestrian crossers park here and walk across to Los Algodones.
The same as any US land border crossing: a US passport book, passport card, or enhanced driver's license for US citizens returning. Always check current CBP requirements before traveling.
