The border between the US and Mexico’s Baja Peninsula is like no other border on earth. It divides two countries with huge contrasts in culture, language, wealth, lifestyle, political systems, topography and climate. Mexico is a fascinating place to visit and we think that driving our own rigs and going on a caravan is the best way to do it.

The Baja Peninsula has some of the most unique and beautiful scenery we will ever see. We see breathtaking views of the rugged Pacific coastline, white sandy beaches, magnificent mountain ranges and rich agricultural areas. As we travel through Baja, many people we come in contact with speak English and we are well received and catered to.

We make several stops on both coasts of Baja with each place having its own unique offerings. Some Baja favorites are sightseeing, watching sunsets, snorkeling, scuba diving, visiting old Spanish missions and churches, strolling along beaches, playing golf, shopping, swimming, beachcombing, clam digging, enjoying good restaurants and some of the best fishing in the world. We have plenty of time to take in as many activities at each location as we wish.

We’ve pulled out all the stops to make our Baja trips the best ever. Two of the most popular events on this trip are the whale watching tour and the deluxe “Land’s End” Catamaran Cruise with open bar and all the food we can eat. Don’t miss these great experiences.

Bahia de Los Angeles
Here we enjoy three days of fun and relaxation at one of the most beautiful and scenic spots in Baja. The bright blue bay and string of islands offshore are a real spectacle. Fishing for Yellowtail is very popular here.

Bahia Concepcion
We spend quality time at Bahia Concepcion, either at Playa Buenaventura or Playa Santispac, both of which have been featured on the cover of many travel magazines. This is a favorite of many of our Caravaners.

CD Constitucion
This town is a nice burgeoning farm town with a new modern Ley Supermarket. We stay at a new campground and enjoy a Folkloric show performed by locals exclusively for us.

Los Barriles
Los Barriles is quickly becoming one of the most popular resort areas in Baja. We stay at a large nicely manicured new campground with plenty of room for big rigs. This is one of the best sport fishing areas on the Peninsula. Optional ATV rentals and boat cruises are popular here.

Loreto
Loreto, founded in 1697, is a quaint desert oasis village where you can enjoy excellent fishing, palm trees and the oldest town on the Baja.

Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas (“Land’s End”) is a very interesting and popular city to visit with great fishing and shopping available. You are given a chance to try your hand at glass blowing in a glass blowing factory.

Now for the “Biggie.” The deluxe twin hulled catamaran boat cruise complete with music, full open bar and all you can eat. Note: This is a lavish cruise. You cruise San Lucas Bay, whale watch and tour “Land’s End.”

La Paz
La Paz is peaceful and quietly metropolitan in a way not found with most resorts. Set amid ancient laurel, coconut and date palm trees, La Paz’s Malecon is one of the prettiest in Mexico. A stroll along this waterfront promenade is a must. Here we enjoy a guided bus tour and attend the famous “Mexican Fiesta and Dinner Show”.

Guerrero Negro
On the way to Guerrero Negro we travel through a picturesque desert setting seeing hundreds of varieties of desert plants and some of the 110 species of cacti growing on the Baja Peninsula.

When we get to Guerrero Negro a spectacular whale watching boat tour is included on all our trips. We get up close and personal with whales that return to Baja every winter to mate and calve. Thousands of gray whales migrate over 6,000 miles from the northern shores of the Bering Sea to bear their young in these calm backwaters where they are protected. New mothers take their babies out to the nearby open ocean to teach them to swim and stay close to Mom. A courtship takes hours as mating generally takes place in the shallow entrances to the lagoons. We watch in wonder as the whales show very little fear of man, letting people pet them or rub their backs.

The mature male is about 50 feet long and weighs 20 tons. Newborn babies are 15 feet long. Can you imagine watching all of this up close? Whales so close we can touch them or smell their breath. Bring cameras to take lots of pictures because when you get back home, your friends won’t believe all the fun and excitement you had on your Adventure Caravans’ whale watching tour.
