Boquillas Overlook

Crafts from artists in Boquillas, Mexico place these contraband items on the USA side. There is a small sign asking to place your money under a marked rock and take the item you want. Its on the honor system. They come across the river in the evening to collect their money. No need to comment. Just filling in missed days.

Amazing cpture of this beautiful landscape. Such an interesting way of selling goods, but it would not work in our country ;-)

I had no idea about this informal system! I wish we could solve our border issues.

Do people buy the crafts and items? Its a unique and interesting method to get your stuff sold, under difficult circumstances.

@cocokinetic @cocokinetic yes they do. I bought a walking stick and some pottery. I left my money under the marked rock and there was already other money there from other people.

A fascinating way of doing business, and a beautiful view!
