Piedras Negras medical tourism guide and specialists

Piedras Negras is known for the hospitality and kindness of its people, its modern and complex architecture, and for being the birthplace of everyone’s favorite snack, nachos; making it one of the most diverse and inviting cities in the border between Mexico and the US.

By sharing its border with Eagle Pass, TX, Piedras Negras allows you to get easy access to some of the most technologically advanced and highest quality medical facilities in the country. Imagine this, you arrive at Eagle Pass in the morning, then you cross the border by foot or in your car, visit one of our doctors and get the health care that you deserve at amazing prices, and then you have the rest of the day to just explore the city.

If you’re looking to learn all about Mexican history the “Plaza de las Culturas” should be your first stop, this plaza pays homage to the three main cultures of Mexico; Aztecs, Mayans, and the Olmecs, showcasing a replica of each culture’s pyramids, creating an absorbing atmosphere where history comes alive.

The people of Piedras Negras likes to celebrate all around the year, where you can find music festivals, art expositions and even outdoor plays in the “Gran Plaza”, and if you visit in October 21st, you can enjoy the International Nacho Day Fest, where the best cooks in the city compete to make the tastiest nachos and have a taste of traditional and “exotic” versions of this dish.

This border city also has an amazing group of artisans who specialize on creating fantastic and traditional handcrafted souvenirs made out of leather and jewelry, most of them share their skills in the Zaragoza Market, where you can also taste a variety of dishes like piloncillo, camote, and of course nachos.

Once you have finished exploring, you can return to Eagle Pass just as quickly as you arrived; If you are planning on staying for a longer time you can rest in one of many hotels in the Piedras Negras, varying from traditional to more luxurious accommodations, you can be certain that a hotel that fits your budget is near you.

You can pay with US dollars, Credit/Debit cards on most restaurants and establishments. If you pay with cash the exchange rate will be lower, it’s better to visit a foreign exchange agency, a bank or an ATM to turn your currency into Mexican pesos.

In case of emergency or general assistance to citizens traveling in Mexico please contact the nearest embassy, consulate or consular agency.
