It lies on the road between Mexicali and Tecate, and it is directly across the international border from Jacumba Hot Springs, California. However, no official border crossing exists; the nearest official crossing is in Tecate. The La Rumorosa area contains Native American cave paintings, which are the primary tourist draw.

    La Rumorosa also refers to the famous road that crosses the Sierra de Juárez Mountains in Baja California, which is part of Mexican Federal Highway 2D. This was completed in 1917 under the governorship of Esteban Cantu. Before this road was constructed, land travel between Tijuana and the rest of Mexico required travel through the United States.
    Initially, this road was a two-way street only somewhat dangerous due to the wind in the region and the steep grade of the road, as well as the recklessness of some drivers to try to finish this stretch of highway faster, causing numerous accidents. Currently there are two two-lane roads each, one upstream and the other downstream, with improved marking and consequently, a significant reduction of accidents.
    However, even with security measures, the road is still considered one of the most dangerous for inexperienced drivers, so it is always advisable to observe a minimum safe distance, to not exceed the speed limit, and use engine braking whenever possible. Headlights are advised in adverse conditions.

    we use to go visit my uncle in tecate el hongo back in the 70’s and sometimes go to mexicali to visit some other family and we had to take this highway, i was always scared and use to give me chills specially if we drove at night. i havent gone through there since.. this brings back fond memories driving with my grandparents and uncles that are no longer here, i use to look up at the sky at night while we drove , it was so beautiful full of millions of stars.. great memories thank you for the share

    Desde pequeño y durante mis 57 años de vida la he subido y bajado más de mil veces y no termino de maravillarme de esta hermosura de la naturaleza, nuestra eterna Rumorosa que guarda un sentimiento especial pues mi padre contribuyó a la pavimentación del primer camino de doble sentido en el que apenas cabían los carros y le tocó subir y bajar por el antigüo camino nacional, bonitos recuerdos.

    The only reason I even look this road up on UA-cam is the story of my Granddad who died when my dad was two so that would be 1957-58. The story is he was riding a motorcycle and collided with a bus or semi on this road . Why do I feel my destiny calls for me riding this road on a Harley now that they are both gone ?
