Summary

[edit]
Description

We took a day trip to Los Algadones Mexico and learned something interesting. Evidently Los Algadones is very well known as a town for tourists from the US and Canada to come to for dental work, medications and eye glasses. Cheap prices, good work, and many of the clinics accept US insurance!

This is a typical street in Los Algadones and I count at least 10 different signs for dental offices. If you're curious just plug these numbers into Google Maps and see how many you can find: 32.71340805178894, -114.73698994533632

It seemed strange to walk into the town and get touted for dental work, medicine, and glasses not cheap trinkets. "Hey buddy, you need a good dentist"? "Lady, lady, best pharmacy in town right here"! "You looking for Botox"? "1 hour glasses, we got them here". "Come inside, we've got medicine and liquor here".

The touts were really hustling for customers because no one was walking the streets. It was 106 Fahrenheit (41 Celcius) outside a little warm for a casual stroll.

Interesting little town, evidently it gets packed in the winter with the snowbirds. Don't think we'll be going back any time soon and no, we didn't get any dental work!
