After 20 months of closure, the border area is coming back to life again.
Since November 8, the land and air border of the United States has been opened again for visitors who have been vaccinated and on presentation of a negative Covid test.
In Tijuana, the biggest crossing point between the two countries, activity has resumed as before.
The reopening of the border reactivates the economy and family ties.
