Day/Night Photowalk w/ borderlands photo-journalist David Maung & Turista Libre

This Photowalk will be an opportunity for participants to visit three popular areas of Tijuana guided by David Maung, a U.S. photojournalist with more than 25 years experience in the city.

Photographing Tijuana is a visual challenge. It is a vibrant and dynamic border city built by recent immigration from the rest of Mexico. Yet, being geographically so far from the rest of Mexico and so close to the United States, Tijuana is a blend of many cultures and has a character of it’s own.

Participants will get a chance to experience this during a visit to the beach boardwalk in Playas de Tijuana, followed by a visit to a major city intersection, the Cinco y Diez and finishing with an evening walk through the downtown city center.

This tour is a collaboration between Turista Libre and the Festival Internacional de Fotografía Tijuana. Our goal is to create dialogue and foster relationships between San Diego and Tijuana photography communities and offer collective, safe and empowered exploration of our cities.

Drinks and snacks will be provided during a stop at the bistro bar, Torrente.

Route: 5 y 10 / Playas de Tijuana / Drink & Snack at Torriente / Centro
