San Luis
San Luis is located at the Southwest corner of the state of Arizona and right at the border with San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico and California, a mere seventy miles from the white beaches of El Golfo de Santa Clara. Over 500,000 people live within an hour’s drive of the city.
San Luis is the fastest growing small city in Arizona, with a sustained annual growth rate of eight percent. In anticipation of continued growth, development and diversification, San Luis continues to expand its City’s horizons.
Already the second busiest border crossing point in Arizona, an additional, wholly commercial, San Luis Port of Entry will open late of 2009, directly connecting the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Sonora with major US markets, including Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix.
