Everybody loves to visit Baja California Sur. Despite being one of Mexico’s most sparsely populated states, Baja California Sur (BCS for short) is packed with one-of-a-kind features.
BCS features Mexico’s longest coastline at 2230 KM (1385 Miles). That’s over 22% of the entire coastline of Mexico. Finally, BCS boasts the most islands in Mexico.
That’s the hard data. Beyond that, BCS is really cool.
Do you love nightlife, nature, surf, sport fishing, camping, relaxation, or incredible tan lines? Who doesn’t? You’re in luck because BCS has you covered. So, starting from the north at Guerrero Negro to the tip of Land’s End, let’s take a trip south.
Guerrero Negro
If you’re here, you really need to have a tourist visa obtained at one of the border crossings or in Ensenada. Right at the border is a military base that occasionally checks to see if you have your paperwork.
As you cross the state line, you see the Halfway Inn and the town of Guerrero Negro. Guerrero Negro is named for the American whaling ship that operated in the nearby bay for several years. Guerrero Negro is a perfect place to spend a night on the way south for salt and gray whales.
The Gray Whales come to the nearby lagoon to give birth and raise their young before returning north in the spring. During this time, make a point to go and see the whales. The locally owned and operated pangas get you right up to the whales. The whales come right up to the boats, often bumping them. Most of the time, they’re so close you can pet them and make friends. Being so close to these magnificent creatures brings about a deep connection with them. Don’t miss it for anything. Book your trip at the Halfway Inn, Malarrimo Hotel, or wherever you decide to stay.
Gray Whales come right up to the boats.
If you’re looking for a nice dinner, the Malarrimo is the best restaurant in town. Besides great food, they feature many artifacts from the town’s darker history as a whaling town.
Santa Rosalia
South of Guerrero Negro on the Sea of Cortez side of the peninsula is the town of Santa Rosalia (rosa-LEE-ah). It’s notable for three things. Ok, four if you count a big gas station.
First, on the list, look for a unique steel prefabricated church a couple of blocks from the main road. It’s well worth visiting. It’s the Iglesia Santa Barbara. Gustave Eiffel designed the building in 1884. If the name rings a bell, it’s the same person who designed and built the famed Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, and the Statue of Liberty. The 1889 Exposition Universelle of Paris featured many modern advances in construction, including this church.
Iglesia Santa Barbara in Santa Rosalia, BCS
Across from the big gas station, on the main road in, is the hulking behemoth of a long-abandoned mining foundry. You’re welcome to wander around but do so at your own risk.
Finally, Santa Rosalia is the port for the smaller ferry crossing between Baja California and the mainland. As of November 2020, a newer and bigger ship makes the 8-hour voyage between Santa Rosalia and Guaymas, Sonora, more comfortable. To make a reservation, you’ll have to call or show up at the ticket office in person. +52 1 622-222-0204
Mulege
Imagine that idyllic situation where you are camping right on the beach with water lapping a few feet from your tent or vehicle. That’s Mulege (Moo-La-Hay). The oasis town itself is tiny, but the coastline is exquisite.

A curious fact is that nearly all the palm trees in Los Angeles, California, have their origins in Mulege.
Loreto
When you visit Baja California Sur, you have to travel through Loreto. Loreto is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable cities in BCS. Loreto features a picturesque Mediterranean-like marina and white sand beaches like that of the Caribbean. Hotels range from luxurious Hotel La Misión de Loreto to pleasantly affordable like the Hotel Plaza Loreto. Both are within walking distance of the marina and the civic plaza. The civic plaza features the best features of Mexico. Fabulous dining, coffee, and entertainment, and activities. Wonderfully absent are the annoying barkers, hucksters, and hustlers. Loreto is a classy town that is very safe, walkable, and memorable.
It’s the perfect place to spend a night or plan a restful vacation.
La Paz
La Paz is a wonderful destination and deserves as much attention as Los Cabos/Cabo San Lucas. As the Capital City of BCS, it has many features that make it a desirable destination. Situated on the Sea of Cortez, La Paz offers excellent dining, shopping, beaches, and resorts. La Paz also hosts the primary terminal for the Baja Ferries. These run between Baja and the mainland. The ferry terminal in Pichilinque is only a couple of minutes out of town. That’s also where you can catch a boat to take you to swim with the whale sharks. Yes, swim with sharks!
Whale Sharks are the world’s largest fish. At up to 19m (5 stories), they are massive in size. Fortunately, they’re harmless to humans. In addition to the whale sharks, you can also swim with sea turtles and other vivid marine life at Mexico prices.
Seaside resorts in La Paz are plentiful and are all excellent values. Costabaja Resort & Spa and Club El Morro are two of the best.
From La Paz, find isolated beaches to the north, east, and south. These beaches are wonderful. You’d enjoy the entire beach to yourself and even get to decide if you want tan lines or not.
Nearby La Paz is Todo Santos which features the ‘Hotel California.’ Though in dispute, the owners play an endless music playlist of versions of ‘Hotel California’ by The Eagles. Arguably, the greatest song about a brothel ever written.
There’s so much to do in and near LA Paz.
Los Cabos/Cabo San Lucas
Los Cabos is the main International Airport travelers fly to from the USA. From there, it’s a short hop to Cabo San Lucas.
Cabo San Lucas is busy, fun, and very commercial. That can be good or not so good, depending on your outlook and what you hope to get from your stay.
For example, Everything in Cabo San Lucas is in English, and most prices are in US Dollars. This makes it easy for travelers, but it also means you’re paying a lot more than you probably would elsewhere. Cabo San Lucas is also the only location of BCS’s Costco. Curiously, you get one of the best views on the land of the famed ‘Land’s End’ point from the Costco parking lot.
One of the most exciting and fun ways to get close to Land’s End and ‘El Arco’ is by taking a pirate cruise to the famed natural formation. Many movies, including the original ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ feature El Arco. If you’re wondering, Spanish galleons would stop at Cabo San Lucas to resupply on their return trip from the Philippines to Spain. The ‘Golden Age of Piracy‘ largely centered in the Caribbean and the Eastern seaboard of the United States. That said, well-documented events of pirates, privateers, and their activities took place in these waters.
Nowadays, it’s not pirates (real ones) patrolling the waters but sport fishing charters and cruise ships. Some of the greatest sport fishing in the world happens out of Cabo San Lucas.
Sure one can fly or hop on a cruise ship to Cabo San Lucas, but you’ll be missing out on so much color, fun, and adventure. If possible, take 4 days from San Diego, California, to reach Cabo San Lucas.
Wrap up
There are a million great reasons to visit Baja California Sur. People like you drive cars and RVs and ride their motorcycles down the peninsula. You can too. No matter what you’re in the mood for, when you visit Baja California Sur, you’re going to have a great time!

Many people drive through Mexico annually. Sadly for most, Sonora is often considered a pass-through state on the way to their final destination. Sitting directly below Arizona, Sonora is Mexico’s second-biggest state after Chihuahua. For those looking to do more than pass through Sonora, the rewards are fantastic.
Most Mexicans think of Sonora as nothing but a desert. The same is true for Americans with Arizona. It’s easy to think this because the Sonoran Desert covers about half of the state. Just like in Arizona, half of Sonora is in high elevation. It’s not unusual for the eastern parts of Sonora to see snow in the winter months.
Unlike Arizona, Sonora features over 500 miles of coastline on the Sea of Cortez. Beach towns including Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco), San Carlos, and Bahia de Kino are very popular with Mexicans and Americans, alike.
Nogales, south of Tucson, is Mexico’s biggest entry point into Sonora. Sonoyta, Agua Prieta, Sasabe, Naco, and San Luis make up the other entry points.
Nogales
Unlike Tijuana and other major entry points, Nogales is a delightful city with lots of charm and flavor. Nogales doesn’t feel like a typical border town. Upon entry into Nogales from the downtown crossing, one’s senses are filled with the vibrant sights, smells, and sounds of Mexico.
If you’re stopping in Nogales, there are some excellent dining options to set you in the right mood. Sonora is well known for some of the best steaks and seafood in Mexico. Nogales is your first opportunity to experience this.
For Dining, some favorites among prosperous locals include El Marcos Restaurant and Mariscos Los Arbolitos. Both are across the street from the mall.
If you’re looking to stay the night, four great choices await. In the north, by the border, Hotel Fray Marcos de Niza is a great stay. Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott is adjacent to the Mall in the center of town. To the south, City Express and Hotel Plaza next door are comfortable stays.
Visitors from Phoenix enjoying a weekend in Rocky Point
Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco)
For those who live in Phoenix or Tucson, Rocky Point is the closest beach. Filled with miles of soft sand, calm warm seas, and hotels for every budget, Rocky Point is a sure winner.
Ordinarily, it would be appropriate to call it by its Spanish name, but this time, it’s really Rocky Point. Since 1826, the section was written in red, ‘Rocky Point’ on sea maps. In the late 1930s, the town was renamed Puerto Peñasco. Still, many Mexicans and nearly all visiting Americans call it Rocky Point.
Pro Tip: When traveling through Sonora, make sure to buy and carry extra water. staying hydrated is very important in the desert.
Rocky Point still serves local fishermen, but tourism dominates the economy. Great hotels, dining, and activities all await you in Rocky Point. A favorite among wealthier Mexican travelers is Playa Bonita just west of the main town.

Hermosillo
Hermosillo should not be missed when you drive through Mexico. Since Hermosillo is the capital of Sonora, it’s a prosperous city. Enjoy exquisite dining, shopping, and hotels throughout the city. Near the center of town, the tall peak with all the TV and radio towers is El Cerro de la Campaña. Take a drive up the cobblestone roadway to the top for a bird’s eye view of this remarkable city. Sunsets from here are also incredible.
Starbucks Coffee in Hermosillo adjacent to El Reloj de Gaston
Hermosillo has Sonora’s only Starbucks Coffee for those that need their addiction filled. Yes, you can get your “nonfat, iced skinny mocha with light ice, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle” in Hermosillo. Sadly, prices equal and sometimes exceed what they are in the USA.
Dining in Sonora is a treat. If you’re looking for a fast authentic meal, there are several Taqueria ‘El Chino’ locations to serve you. These are an institution in Hermosillo and a local’s favorite. If seafood is your calling, Mariscos Las Palmas serves up fresh seafood in an upscale setting. For fine dining, Palominos and Sonora Steak must be on the top of your list.
Pro Tip: Please remember to slow way down in Hermosillo. Cops in the city like a peaceful town and are pretty strict with traffic enforcement.
Tetakawi overlooking San Carlos
Guaymas – San Carlos
The cities of Guaymas and San Carlos are separate cities right next to each other. Guaymas is a nice Mexican port city. San Carlos is a resort-friendly town with the best beaches and beachfront hotels. San Carlos’ most notable feature besides the sea is the magnificent Tetakawi mountain. The peak looks like a scorpion ready to strike.
Shopping and urban city amenities are widely available in Guaymas. Guaymas also features one of Sonora’s best steakhouses, El Oeste at the Armida Hotel.
Available ‘cortes’ or cuts on offer at El Oeste Steakhouse at the Hotel Armida in Guaymas, Sonora
San Carlos features Tortuga’s Restaurant near the Marina. Owned by a French Expat, this restaurant is a favorite among prosperous locals for the world-class dining and atmosphere.
Regardless of which town you stay in, you’re bound to have an excellent experience.
Be legal when you drive through Mexico. If you haven’t gotten your Temporary Vehicle Import Permit (TVIP), Empalme is your last chance. South of Empalme, you must have a TVIP to drive your non-Mexico plated vehicle in the country. Look for ‘Only Sonora’ on Google Maps,
Alamos Sonora
Alamos
Leaving Guaymas – San Carlos, you’ll next come to Ciudad Obregon. Because Obregon is an industrial town it takes a while to get through. It’s best circumvented with the new bypass road.
Continuing south Navajoa comes next. Navajoa is a decent place to stay, but if you can, head east to the historic town of Alamos. Alamos is one of Mexico’s 111 Pueblos Magicos and well worth a visit.
Once in the town center, it’s immediately apparent where this town gets its charm. Walk the plaza and enjoy the many restaurants, shops, and street vendors of this town dating back to 1685.
The next big town south is Los Mochis located just south of the state line in Sinaloa.
There are many other towns and pueblos worth visiting in Sonora. Bahia de Kino is Hermosillo’s beach due west of the city. Enjoy the oldest part of Sonora along the Rio Sonora. The trail offers breathtaking scenery including the former capital of Sonora, Arizpe. Banamichi is also notable. Banamichi features the wonderful Hotel Los Arcos de Sonora. To get there, veer east at Imuris toward Cananea and then south. Eventually, you’ll come back to Hermosillo.
When you drive through Mexico, don’t make it a bombing run. Take an extra day or two to discover the many unpretentious riches one can experience in Sonora.
The best part about Sonora is that it’s just an hour south of Tucson and yet, a world apart.
Baja California (North) is one of the easiest and most rewarding Mexican states to visit. Consider it a ‘Win!’ for nearly any type of traveler. San Diego is the primary gateway to this wonderful part of the world. With all of Baja’s incredible destinations, you can enjoy an international getaway without ever boarding a plane.
Baja California boasts some of the best features of Mexico without being pretentious or overrun with holidaymakers. Visit Baja California for all the right reasons.
hanging out at the beach
Beaches
If you’re looking for a weekend beach destination, look no further than Rosarito, Ensenada, or San Felipe. For example, Ensenada offers you the same weather and ocean as San Diego at a fraction of the price. In addition, San Felipe, located on the Sea of Cortez, delivers a warm and laid-back seaside. San Felipe is much more relaxed and offers a welcome escape to those who wish for tranquility. One should also consider Bahia de Los Angeles. It’s an excellent destination for many reasons, including fishing, tranquility, and exploration. It’s worthwhile, but it’s much further south.
Medical
It’s no secret many people travel to Mexico for medical tourism. Popular procedures are dental work and cosmetic enhancement. Mexican doctors are often US-trained, offer top-quality services, and operate at a fraction of the cost of similar doctors in the USA. For the cost of a procedure in the USA, you can have the same procedure in Baja California. The best part is that you get a vacation and still have money left over.
What about COVID when you visit Baja California?
Covid-19 – Baja California has a consistent and surprisingly comprehensive Covid-19 plan that is logical and reasonable. All of Baja is open to healthy visitors who are not experiencing Covid-19 symptoms. Please practice the straightforward safety protocols of safe distancing, face coverings, and sanitation.

Dining
Are you looking for exquisite and exotic food destinations? Look no further than Tijuana, Ensenada, and the Ruta del Vino or wine region around Valle de Guadaloupe. Master chefs from elite culinary schools feature an international cuisine to satisfy the most epicurean palate.
Ensenada is one of the best-educated and wealthiest cities in Mexico. This means that there are ample amenities to serve a growing population that appreciates them. Regardless the city does a great job of serving cruise passengers while saving its heart for those who appreciate it.
Off-Road Adventures
We get it. You’re into adventure and overland travel. Because of this, few places offer the terrain, proximity, and freedom to have fun like Baja California. The legendary Baja 1000 takes place each year across the peninsula. Nearly the whole region between San Felipe and La Paz is for off-road pleasure. Popular destinations include Lazaro Cardenas (East of Ensenada), San Felipe, El Rosario (Home of Mama Espinoza’s), and Cataviña.
Villas at El Cielo Winery and Resort.
Romantic Getaway
Even with the expansive definitions of ‘Romantic’ getaways, Baja California presents unique and affordable offerings.
For instance, does an ocean-front villa fill your notion of a romantic getaway? The coastline between Tijuana and La Bufadora offers countless locations. Destinations featuring private pools, secluded beaches, and an in-house chef are awaiting your booking.
Perhaps you desire a luxurious weekend at a winery. Because of the rich soil and ideal weather, Baja California wineries continue to gain prominence globally. In addition, many local Wineries, including Encuentro and El Cielo, feature exquisite overnight experiences.
Since desires and tastes vary, the region offers a diverse range of prices and amenities at each available property. Many of these villas are found on popular sites, including Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com.
Safety
The corporate news media relentlessly drives to keep people afraid and angry. In other words, when people are fearful, anxious, and angry, they’re controllable. Those who profit from fear get little resistance to your complicity. It’s one of the oldest schemes in history. Create a problem and then offer your brand of a solution. Don’t believe it? Monitor your blood pressure for 15 minutes while watching any news channel. Peace and contentment are the last things these organizations want you to experience.
Now with that out of the way, Mexico, like most countries, has its problem areas. Is it fair to damn all of Canada because Vancouver has high crime rates?
One blatant example of media manipulation is the reporting of violence in Tijuana. The truth is that the Municipality of Tijuana has a high murder rate. The reality is that Municipalities in Mexico are like counties in the USA. The Tijuana Municipality is nearly 340 square miles. The city itself only occupies a fraction of that space. The municipality covers the US border to the north. It’s surrounded by Rosarito Beach, Ensenada, and Tecate to the south and east. The violence is nearly exclusively outside the city area and almost entirely among those carrying out criminal activities. But, of course, the fear mongers and hate peddlers don’t bother to point this out.
So what’s the conclusion?
In other words, Tijuana (the city) is safer for travelers than Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and Santa Monica. The simple rule is to enjoy the beaches, fine dining, and perfect year-round weather without being an idiot. Avoid the temptation to do dumb things you would never do at home. Just remember, you need a Mexican Insurance Store travel policy to protect yourself financially in case of an accident.
That’s right, resist the urge to go out on night-time drives into the outskirts of the city. Don’t visit ATMs well into the night, be too curious, or try to play ‘James Bond.’ Do you do any of these daft things in your ‘safe’ community back home?
Wrongful deaths among tourists not engaged in criminal activities are practically nonexistent in this state.
In conclusion, Baja California is an exciting destination for travelers. It has a well-earned reputation for delivering value and satisfaction to visitors. Whether you seek romance, adventure, solace, or culture, it’s a great place to visit.
It’s hard to believe in 2020 that some people think you don’t need Mexican auto insurance when driving your car, motorcycle, or RV in Mexico.
Seriously, it’s an eye-roller when a proud ignoramus proclaims that you don’t need insurance and that, in all of their travels, they never had it. First off, they probably haven’t been to Mexico since 1989. Second, they tend to have loud contrarian opinions on a whole litany of topics, from UFOs to conspiracy theories. Third, 9 times out of 10, they’ve been drinking rather heavily.
Occasionally, someone on a Mex Facebook Group will post something that reads like this. “My friend’s uncle, who lives in Mexico, says Mexico car insurance is for stupid Gringos, and you really don’t need it.” Peruse through the posts long enough, and you’ll eventually see a post that looks like this. If you’re gullible enough to believe any story that begins with “My friend’s Uncle…” or something along this line, you really shouldn’t leave your home. The only stupid Gringos are the ones who think Mexico has no laws and that they are somehow immune from obeying them. These fine MENSA candidates invariably end up in jail, broke, and sometimes dead. It’s a sad but real truth. It’s not the ‘cartels’ who seemingly risk their multi-billion dollar operation to hassle a dumb tourist. Rather it’s the visitors’ own acute stupidity that led to their misfortune.
When it comes to driving in Mexico (or anywhere, for that matter), ignorance is not bliss.
Hopefully, these people aren’t the ones you listen to about anything. Especially anything about our neighbors to the South.
Here is the reality spelled out.
If you are in a car accident South of the Border, it’s not like in the USA. First, the police show up and immediately assign fault. Then, they estimate an amount for damages and detain the ‘responsible’ party until they pay the full amount.
Now, if you have (good) insurance, you call them with their local (non-toll free) number from your US Mobile phone and report a claim. First, make sure you have Whatsapp installed on your phone. Many times you won’t know your location, but the agent on the phone will have Whatsapp. You can send your exact location using the app. Next, you wait until they or the authorities arrive. If the police arrive first, tell them, “Tengo Seguro.” It means you have insurance.
From here, you will know why you were smart and bought the good coverage instead of listening to your dumb friend’s uncle. If you bought a Mexico insurance policy from Mexican Insurance Store .com. There are no bad policies or insurers offered for sale at Mexican Insurance Store.
Your Insurance representative that shows up will verify your policy with you. Try to have a copy on paper. They can also use your phone, or you can send it to their phone with Whatsapp. From here, 95% of all of your problems are taken care of. They will negotiate on your behalf and guarantee any damages assigned to you. Most importantly, you will not be detained or go to jail.
Concept of insurance man protective and car insurance policy examining
What happens if…
If you bought a cheap policy or were an imbecile and didn’t get insurance, start calling family and friends to get ready to wire money to you. La Policía will assign an amount in damages, and you need to pay up, right then and there. If you don’t have the money, cops will take you, under detainment, to a bank or Western Union to get the money. Can’t get the money they assign as your damages? You’ll get to sit in a Mexican jail until you do.
If you don’t agree with the amount, you will be seen by a traffic judge within 24 hours. They will most likely side with the cop and probably make you pay even more. This is because the damages will, no doubt, increase in the hours after the collision.
If there’s one thing you learn from all of this, it’s that:
Yes! It would be best if you had Mexican auto insurance to bring your vehicle into Mexico.
A well-backed policy from a reputable carrier will cover you completely and ensure you stay out of jail in the event of an accident.
Cheap policies are just that. They can be nearly worthless at protecting you from the unpleasant aftermath of a collision. You might be able to use them for toilet paper in the jail cell.
Nearly all policies purchased at the border kiosks appear cheap, but leave you quite vulnerable in a collision. Ultimately kiosks often cost you more, because significant fees are added to the total cost.
Your dumb friend, the loud drunk guy, or the blustering fool on the Facebook group (who probably never actually went to Mexico) is an idiot. You probably shouldn’t be listening to idiots.
Here is an infographic we created to help you understand the process if you are involved in a collision South of the Border.

Mexico hosts some of the most interesting and beautiful roads in North America. Let’s take a look at some of the greatest roads in Mexico.La Cascada de Basaseachi – Photo by Jim Foreman
Story by Seguros Mapfre (Translated and expanded by Jim Foreman)
While vising these spectacular roads in Mexico, it’s easy to agree with the saying, “The important thing is the trip, not the destination.”
Enjoying these amazing roads is easy. The trick is to fuel up, pack light, and include some water bottles and snacks. Above all, don’t forget your camera, because the views will captivate you.
Baja California makes both Americans and Mexicans fall in love with this beautiful coastline. For those who can’t make it up to California’s Big Sur, the Scenic Road will leave you equally wowed! The Rosarito viewpoint and the Todos Los Santos Bay are worthy stops. They feature views that will amaze and inspire you. Mex-1 deserves this proud distinction and you’ll see why, as you drive safely through the North of the country.
Stretching between Mazatlan and Durango, Mex-40 (Libre) is certainly one of the greatest roads in Mexico. Be sure not to confuse this road with the new parallel cuota road (Mex-40D). Mex 40 (Libre) offers you the spectacle of the Sierra Madre Occidental range. Enjoy breathtaking canyons, mountains, slopes, and the viewpoint of the ‘Espinazo del Diablo’ (Pictured). Before you go, fill up with gas in Durango, El Salto, Villa Union, or Mazatlan. There aren’t any gas stations for a very long stretch. This road is not recommended for RVs. The narrow twists and turns will be maddening. It’s best on a motorcycle or sports car. Some even travel it by bicycle. Those exciting hours of travel that connects Durango with Mazatlán will give you incredible views and wonderful memories.
Anyone who has gone for a green or purple corn quesadilla knows exactly what we are talking about. This short-run features lush landscapes of leafy pine trees and light mist, even in summer. Both the Libre and the adjacent Cuota are very popular with motorcycles and sports cars. The roads are twisty, but the view is certainly worth it.
Of course, the most important thing is that you travel protected. In Mexico, you must have at least auto liability insurance. Unless you only travel with liability only at home, you probably want Full-Coverage Mexico insurance for cars. We offer multiple options to best suit your needs. Especially if you go out on road trips, a top pick is Mapfre Elite. This coverage includes road assistance, medical expenses for the occupants, legal assistance, and other advantages.
Whenever you go, wherever you go, travel smart and safe with Mexican Insurance Store.
