About
About this crossing
The Columbus crossing connects Puerto Palomas de Villa, Chihuahua, with Columbus, New Mexico — the only port on this desert stretch, with no river and no bridge in between. It is a small, rural-paced crossing: local traffic, pharmacy and medical visitors, and the daily flow of students who cross to school in Columbus. Waits are usually brief, picking up around school hours and regional trade seasons.
