Transportation

This section is to aid team leaders in finding transportation, which can sometimes be frustrating if you don’t have access to your own vehicles or if insurance prohibits you from crossing into Mexico. If you choose to fly or park your own vehicles at the airport, transportation is available through Proyecto Abrigo for $20 per person to and from the airport. Otherwise someone can meet you near the border to lead you to the dorms.

Weather

Located in Chihuahua Desert, the city of Juarez enjoys a climate characterized by an abundance of sunshine. Juarez experiences high daytime summer temperatures, practically nonexistent humidity, scarce rainfall, and a relatively cool winter season. Dealing with a desert climate (warmer days with cooler nights), the best suggestion is to dress in layers.

Sandstorms are an occasional unpleasant feature of the weather (usually occurring in March and April). Although wind velocities are not excessively high, the soil surface is dry and loose and plant life is sparse so moderate winds can raise considerable dust and sand. Wearing sunglasses and a bandana over the mouth and nose are helpful solutions on these windy days.

When packing for a trip, check the 10-day forecast for projected highs and lows, as well as anticipated winds.
