A survival guide for road travel in Mexico by Bill and Dorothy Bell

Matamoros, Tamaulipas

Matamouros Map 1Matamoros, Tamaulipas

Matamoros COA“Matamoros is a pleasant enough border town. It has the usual amenities that day-trippers cross for; dentists, prescription drugs, trikets, booze and restaurants.

It is a city that is growing strong with manufacturing and free trad factories popping up everywhere. Like many border cities, Matamoros has also had its fair share of drug trafficers and all the problems that are associated with that trade. Personally we like to get in and out quickly and not hang out waiting to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Name: Heroica Matamoros. Named after Mariano Matamoros, a hero of the Mexican War of Independence

Location: Located on the Gulf Coast on the border across from Brownsville Teac
