Traveling is the kind of activity, which
almost all the people love. For someone it is an opportunity to relax and
abstract from everyday busy life. For others it is interesting to observe
the way people of other cultures and mentality live. Some people
consider it to be the best way to have fun and
always try to visit as many clubs, pubs, restaurants and cafes as possible for
their wallets and time limits. When you want to plan a vacation contactme!
Baja California is a long
thin peninsula running parallel to the west coast of the Mexican mainland,
separated by the Gulf of California or Sea of Cortez. It is divided into two
states, Baja California Norte in the north and the southern region of Baja
California Sur, and extends from Tijuana on the American border down to Cabo
San Lucas at the peninsula's tip.
Baja is one of the least
humid places on earth with an intensely dry climate. It is a diverse
geographical area providing remarkable contrasts. This is a wildly beautiful
place of unusual scenery and dramatic color changes, of exquisitely azure bays
and miles of fine white beaches, rocky cliffs giving way to dry mountainous
slopes covered in a stunning display of cactus plants. The interior is harsh
and undeveloped, while the coast is dotted with attractive resorts and modern
towns. The protected gulf is home to more endemic species than anywhere else in
the world; the warm waters are rich in marine life, and the protected waters on
the Pacific coast are an important breeding ground for whales. Most resort tour
operators arrange whale watching trips from January to March.
A journey down the
trans-peninsula highway conveys many surprises, from the bulging and frenetic
activity of the modern city of Tijuana, with its tacky souvenir shops and
thriving gambling scene, to the oasis town of San Ignacio, a beautiful respite
from the hot Vizcaíno Desert on its fringes, with some extraordinary cave
paintings nearby. From the peaceful laid-back village of Mulegé to the tranquil
port of La Paz, with a colonial center and spectacular sunsets, and the
charming traditional Mexican town of Todos Santos in the south, there are a
great variety of places to explore and enjoy. The UNESCO-listed Sierra de la
Laguna Biosphere Reserve, in the mountains south of La Paz, is a wonderful
playground for hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers. The Baja Peninsula
also boasts the best seafood and wine in Mexico.
There is an efficient bus
system that covers the distance between Tijuana and Los Cabos in 24 hours on
the Trans-peninsula highway, stopping at towns along the way. Car and passenger
ferry services connect Baja to the Mexican mainland and there are airports at
Tijuana and near Los Cabos. Car rental companies can be found in the larger
cities and at airports, although the Trans-peninsula highway is narrow and
routinely traveled by trucks. Within the towns there are plenty of taxis and collectives
(shared taxi vans) for hire.
