A Night in the Life of an Illegal Immigrant
Fox News
Tourists taking in Mexican culture can now experience what's being touted as an extreme sport in the central state of Hidalgo.
For the small price of $15, visitors can spend the night as an illegal immigrant crossing the Rio Grande led by a masked guide named Poncho. The mock journey is staged at Eco Alberto nature park, which was financed in part by the Mexican government but is communally owned.
It's there that participants begin their six-hour long migration, scaling walls, hiding in tunnels and riding blindfolded in a pickup truck.
Organizers say the purpose of the experience is to build empathy for migrants by embarking on a personal spiritual journey.
