About Juarez

Juarez is a large Mexican city in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. It is named for 19th-century president and popular hero Benito Juarez, the first Mexican president of indigenous descent. Juarez is nowhere near the tropical Mexico with beautiful beaches and Aztec and Mayan culture many people expect. You will be more likely to encounter people resembling cowboys than any other vision of a Mexican one might have. This can be more charming and realistic than the culture of other locales that are not off the beaten path in Mexico. However, special attention must be paid to criminal activity in Juarez, as well as the city and state of Chihuahua in general; there has been police corruption in the area, some incidents quite violent in nature as they pertain to the border area's prevalence
