If you live west of the Mississippi and love taking road trips, we\u2019ve got a mission trip just for you! Tecate is located in Mexico and the total driving distance from LA is 163 miles. It’s close to many places in California and Arizona. No plane necessary! It\u2019s a great opportunity for you or your youth group if you have a desire to go on a mission trip but have been waiting because of financial constraints. Or maybe you don\u2019t want to travel too far from home.<\/p>\n
Here are some benefits of road tripping to your mission trip to Mexico:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maybe you wanted to join us for one of our mission trips before but you just couldn\u2019t afford it? Or maybe it\u2019s the first time you are considering going for a mission trip but are operating on a low budget? Well, the good news is this mission trip is very affordable! Traveling as a group helps bring travel expenses down. Many groups fly to San Diego and travel to Tecate via the Mission Discovery bus. But taking a road trip from LA or other places in California will make the trip a lot more affordable.<\/p>\n Furthermore, we fundraise on an annual basis to raise support. God has blessed us with wonderful partners who are always passionate to support the work God is doing in Tecate. The funds we raise cover many of the expenses, which allows us to attach a subsidized fee for the trip. Apart from travel to and from Tecate, we also provide you with great accommodations as well as all meals while on the trip. So you\u2019ll be taking a road trip without having to worry about paying for hotel rooms or where to eat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Traveling by road to Tecate, Mexico may not be as fast as flying, but it has its perks. Even though the trip may be quick, the sights and sounds you will experience are unforgettable. You will enjoy going through the relaxed coastal towns like Huntington Beach, New Port, and Oceanside. Anaheim \u2013 home to Disneyland \u2013 also falls on the route.<\/p>\n There are plenty of interesting sites on the way. For instance, the famous LEGOLAND California theme park, the Laguna Art Museum – the only museum in California that exclusively displays art from Californian artists, and the international surfing museum. If you love great architecture, the Wayfarers chapel will be an unforgettable treat. Other sites on the way include the Crystal Cove state park, the Blacks Beach and the New Port Beach Pier. And last but not least, there is the scenic ocean view that spans for miles. You will get to relish the warm ocean breeze as you enjoy the view of the waves of the blue and white waters.<\/p>\n1.
