Getting there and around
Get there
By car
From San Diego, take Highway 94 east.
From Tijuana, Take the toll road ("cuota") that parallels Mexico Highway 2, 30 miles east. Highway 2 then leads east about 80 miles to Mexicali by way of the notorious "Rumorosa Grade". There are buses available from Tijuana. It takes roughly two hours and will eventually drop you off in the centre of Tecate.
From Ensenada take Mexico Highway 3 east. The highway is two lanes and is about a 75 minute drive to the border crossing.
Tecate's border crossing is probably the easiest in California. You can pay a few dollars to park at one of the lots on the US side and walk across the border. It can also be an alternative border crossing to get back into the US; it's less crowded than the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings (to get back into the US). It will be a long drive from Tijuana, but it will save you some time.
By bus – there is a direct bus departing from Tijuana Bus Terminal and arriving at Tecate. Services depart three times a day, and operate every day. The journey takes approximately 45 min.

Taxi travel is very affordable in Mexico, in comparison to the USA, Canada and Europe, and so provides a viable means of public transportation in Mexico. Your hotel can arrange taxis for you; some post their rates on a board in the lobby; taxi hotel rates are usually higher than cabs you hail off the street. If you speak Spanish, you will have a distinct advantage and be able to negotiate a price with the driver.

Tecate has an abundant and skilled labor pool that is said to have a less transient workforce resulting in lower turnover.
Famous for the Tecate beer brewing and bottling plant of its namesake, Tecate also serves the aerospace, electronics, medical device, ceramic and plastics industries with longtime resident giants Schlage Lock (Ingersol Rand) and Rockwell Automation calling Tecate home.
Tecate’s manufacturer mainstays show the strength of this city for successful operations while manufacturing in Mexico.

5. Attractions
Tecate Beer Factory and Garden
This beer factory was the origin of the modern Tecate and stands right downtown, very near the main square. Call to find out tour hours and plan your visit. You will be surprised at the sheer size of the factory and the extraordinary production. When you finish your tour, you may taste some of their beers at the Jardín Cerveza before continuing on your stroll through the most emblematic places of the Magical Town of Tecate.
This brewery, which dates from 1952 and was originally owned by Alberto Aldrete, was later sold to Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc almost in the 1960s, which belonged to the family of Don Eugenio Garza Laguera From the City of Monterrey. At the beginning of the 90's, it became Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma and was finally acquired by the Heineken company. The most important thing in the entire production process is that the main raw material used for the production of beer is the water from the aquifers of this beautiful town called Tecate. Hence the name of the beer known nationally and internationally with the name of Cerveza Tecate.

Kumiai Museum
Tecate is a charming border town of northern Baja California, Mexico, less than an hour from the cities of San Diego and Tijuana. It is also at the center of the ancient territory of the Kumiai (Kumeyaay in English) people, who today live both north and south of the international border. Surprisingly, many people are unaware of the rich cultural legacy of the Kumeyaay, their role in our history, and their continued presence in the region today.
The museum project began as an idea of Kumiai community members who dreamed of a place where Kumeyaay culture could be passed on to future generations. The Kumiai Community Museum of Tecate is a place where students, teachers, tourists, and other visitors can learn about the original peoples of the region from the living descendents of our local indigenous groups. Located in the Tecate Cultural Center, this multilingual museum will offer permanent installations and exhibits, as well as educational programs and cultural revitalization activities, including:
Interactive educational exhibits on traditional culture, history, and contemporary issues of indigenous Baja California, including a world-class collection of ancient and modern indigenous arts of the region, antique and contemporary photographs, and multimedia presentations that include the local Kumeyaay people’s own stories and the sounds of the living Kumeyaay language.
Events and workshops in native culture led by local indigenous instructors, including basket-making and other arts, acorn processing, music and language.
Training programs will be carried out for members of the Kumeyaay communities in the documentation of indigenous language, oral history, and traditional lifeways.
Within the House of Culture of the city, is this palace to visit that has three parts: the history and prehistory of the Kumiai, the era of the ranches and Tecate in modernity. In its permanent exhibitions, you can find authentic regional artifacts, photographs, murals and sculptures. The building where it is located, was originally built by the federal government as a farm in 1956 and remained so until 1985.

6. History
Tecate was founded on October 12, 1892. It is in a valley and is surrounded by several hills and mountains, the most prominent and famous of them being Kuuchamaa (also spelled Kuchamaa and Cuchama) Mountain. Kuuchamaa Mountain, also known as Tecate Peak in the United States, is a sacred mountain for the Kumeyaay people (known in Mexico as Kumiai) people, and the Kumeyaay language is still spoken in the mountains near Tecate at Juntas de Nejí. Kuuchamaa is rich in greenery, wildflowers and birds. Tecatenses as well as tourists are often seen enjoying hikes and bike rides along its many trails.
In 1829, the Mexican governor of Alta California José María de Echeandía granted the valley of Tecate as the 1,796 hectares (4,439 acres) Rancho Tecate to Juan Bandini. In 1836 the mountain dwelling Kumeyaay with some aid from some former mission neophytes, raided and plundered the rancho. They besieged the ranch house but the men within managed to hold out until it was relieved by a force from San Diego. With his stock and horses stolen and the house burned, Bandini—like owners of other ranchos near San Diego—had to abandon the isolated rancho.[8][9] Due to the continuing hostilities with the Kumeyaay, Bandini never returned, being compensated with Rancho Jurupa, in 1838.
In the late 19th century farmers and ranchers arrived in Tecate for the first time since Bandini's failed attempt to settle there. Soon after, they discovered its plentiful natural resources and decided to settle. Its abundant water and fertile soil made Tecate the perfect site for a productive farm market. Olives, grapes and grain became Tecate's staple crops. The industrial sector was developed simultaneously with the creation of coffee processing plants and breweries.
Well known for its traditional infrastructure and looks, Tecate remains true to its origins with its main plaza in the center of the city and its city hall and historic church within walking distance.
