When our friends and In-laws suggested that we do a 28 day Caravan Tour of the Baja in Mexico we were a bit hesitant as our RVing experience was limited to a two week trip in a rented RV over 20 years ago. We decided that with the help of our friends, experienced RVers and Baja Amigos we would enjoy fun and adventure on the Baja.
We rented a small motorhome in California and set out with the 8 other RVers under the guidance of Dan and Lisa, the Baja Amigos. The contrasting views, from the farmland in the north, the boulders and cacti near Catavina, the Date Palm Oasis ,the white sandy beaches, the Sea of Cortez on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the mountain ranges in between, make for some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Mexico. Restaurants with good home cooked food, cold Pacifico Beer, and Margaritas made the old fashioned way, made us realize that the “All Inclusive Resort” is not the way to see the real Mexico.. We swam with Whale sharks, rubbed the noses of giant Gray Whales, visited Historic sites, and enjoyed campfires on the beach. The roads can be narrow and challenging but with the help of Dan and Lisa we were able to drive the 2000 miles with no incidents. If you want to see spectacular scenery, enjoy warm weather, meet friendly people and just have a great time, put an RV trip of the Baja with Baja Amigos on your bucket list.
