Boquillas Del Carmen, Mexico - Big Bend National Park, Texas

While exploring Big Bend National Park I take a quick detour across the border to the sleepy village of Boquillas Del Carmen, Mexico. Visitors to Big Bend are able to cross into this quaint village via a US Border Checkpoint located on the southern end of the park near the Rio Grande Village Campground. Expect to pay around $5 to be ferried across the river, then an additional $8 for a ride up to the village. The locals in Boquillas only accept US currency. There are 2 restaurants in Boquillas with small limited menus that serve cold beer and liquor. I did not see a grocery store while there, however, it may help to ask a local as groceries within Big Bend are limited and very expensive, the nearest US option outside the park is approximately 50 miles one way.
