Why am I supposed to fly into Brownsville, Texas instead of flying into Mexico?
The first night the team will stay in Matamoros which is just across the border before driving about 5 hours south to where the team will be working for the majority of the trip. It is easier for students to fly into a U.S. airport and drive across the border than to fly into Mexico. You will be met at the airport by ISL and the team will be driven across the border into Mexico. On the last day the team will be driven back across the border to the airport to fly home. Brownsville is about 5-10 minutes from the border.
