Description
This quaint Mexican border village at river right subsists primarily on tourist income from Big Bend National Park visitors. It became practically a ghost town after 2002, when the Boquillas Port of Entry was closed due to post-9/11 security concerns. Since the reopening of the port of entry in 2013, the village has rebounded.
