Red Dead Redemption's map is split into three major areas that aren't accessible from early on in the game. The second largest of the three areas is a Mexican territory by the name of Nuevo Paraíso, which is located south of the map. If players try to access the area before progressing to a certain point in the story, they'll find broken bridges leading up to Mexico. This guide details what players have to do to get to Nuevo Paraíso (Mexico) in Red Dead Redemption.

How To Enter Nuevo Paraiso (Mexico) In Red Dead Redemption

Entering Nuevo Paraíso Mexico Region Red Dead Redemption

To enter the Nuevo Paraíso (Mexico) region in Red Dead Redemption, players will have to progress through the story to unlock "The Assault on Fort Mercer" and "We Shall Be Together in Paradise" missions. This series of story missions will take John from New Austin to Nuevo Paraíso.

Here's what you need to do to enter Mexico in Red Dead Redemption.

Complete 'The Assault On Fort Mercer' Mission

The Assault on Fort Mercer is the 24th-story mission in Red Dead Redemption. John Marston will round up Marshal Leigh Johnson, Eli and Jonah, West Dickens, Irish, and Seth Briars to attack Fort Mercer and capture Bill Williamson.

The mission starts with all the crew hiding inside West Dicken's armored coach and entering Fort Mercer. This leads to a shootout with John making use of the Gatling gun to take down Williamson's gang.

Toward the end of the mission, everyone finds out from a captured gang member that Bill has run off to Mexico, whihc means John must pursue him. This will lead to the next story mission required to enter Mexico in Red Dead Redemption.

Take The Raft To Nuevo Paraíso In The 'We Shall Be Together In Paradise' Mission

We Shall Be Together is the 25th-story mission in Red Dead Redemption. John and Nigel West Dickens meet up with Irish to use his raft to get John across the river and into Mexican territory.

The mission quickly escalates into a gunfight, with John defending the raft until it reaches the Mexican border. After reaching the Border, Irish gets John a horse to reach the capital of Nuevo Paraíso, Escalera. This is the point where players can now explore the Mexico part of the map in Red Dead Redemption.
