Ahh, this one takes me back. Mere days afterRockstar Games’ rootin’ tootin’ cowboy shootin’ sequelRed Dead Redemption 2was released back in 2018, players realised that you could easily glitch into the otherwise inaccessible part ofRDR2’s map.
Players quickly realised that, through the use of an exploit, it was actually possible to visit Mexico and walk around the area unimpeded.

To most players' surprise, it seems that Rockstar put a lot of effort into creating this area of the map - even though they never intended to let players go there.
Models for towns and buildings exist within this portion of the map, alongside audio tracks, collision detection, and even a semi-functional wanted system.
Although many have assumed that this means that work on the location was scrapped, there is an alternative theory. ConsideringRDR2’s impressive draw distance, Rockstar Games may have simply modelled the area so it could be viewed from certain points on the map.

Even though Rockstar did attempt to patch out the exploit that allowed you to visit Mexico at one point in time, several players realised earlier this year that one of the glitches is still functional (likethese twoRedditposts that discusshow to pull it off).
Of course, if you don’t want to mess around with all of that and you own the game on PC, then you can always download theNuevo Paraiso-Mexico modover on Nexus instead.
