Yes! t is very safe. The Mexico/San Diego border is the busiest, most used border crossing in the country. Thousands of people do it every day for work. It is very secure. The most challenging part of crossing the border is the unpredictability of how long it will take to get back into the U.S.
Entering Mexico by car is usually quick, but be flexible with your return time as wait times at the border can range from 1 to 3 hours. To minimize delays, travel during non-peak hours, such as early mornings (before 8 am or after 8 pm) or weekdays (Monday-Thursday), which should take under an hour. The Tecate border typically has shorter wait times than San Ysidro, but closes earlier. For real-time updates, visit: https://bwt.cbp.gov/

There are two main ways to get to Valle de Guadalupe: through San Ysidro or Tecate.
The advantage of taking the Tecate route is that you'll travel through more U.S. territory, with just a 45-minute to one-hour drive. Along the way, you'll pass through the charming town of Sauza.
If you choose this route, you can use the toll roads (which cost around $7-$8 in total) and enjoy a scenic coastal drive along Mexico. Note that you will cross more Mexico territory.
