El Chaparral

El Chaparral (Spanish: Puerta México el Chaparral) is a southbound vehicle crossing from San Diego into Tijuana.

It is part of the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

It replaced the former entry point known as Puerta México which stood immediately east of El Chaparral.

The opening of El Chaparral roughly tripled the number of traffic lanes to 22, reducing wait times for vehicles entering Mexico.

Access is via a four-lane, temporary access road that is 0.2 miles (0.32 km) long and leads west from the end of Interstate 5.
