Baja RV Adventure
Come along on the
adventure of a lifetime! In 1975 future filmmaker John Holod traveled the 1,060
mile Transpeninsular Baja Highway from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas by motorcycle.
He now returns in the comfort of his RV to make a video about this incredible
desert paradise.
The adventure begins at the busiest border crossing in the world. We take a
tour with the US Border Patrol to see what is being done to secure this hotspot.
Today's Tijuana is much different from the rundown place many of us remember.
Ensenada is famous for its fish market, the blowhole, Estro Beach and Hussong's
Cantina - "the bar that built a town". A side trip takes us to San Felipe on the
Sea of Cortez, a beach playground for RV'ers. Sierra National Park, looking much
like Northern California, is home to the Pico Diablo, the highest mountain in
all of Baja. Our route south takes us to San Quintin and El Rosario, the home of
Mama Espinosa's famous restaurant where we talk to Mama herself. Bahia de Los
Angeles, one of the most beautiful places on the peninsula, is home to a wide
variety of wildlife and provides access to the Midriff Islands and life forms
found nowhere else on Earth.
Guerrero Negro is famous for salt production and the world's friendliest grey
whales... who get close enough to pet! We also visit a preserve protecting the
endagered Peninsula Pronghorn, which have a population of less than two hundred.
In San Ignacio we tour the mission and enjoy a parade honoring its patron saint.
Santa Rosalia's history features mining and French colonial style architecture.
Mulege - the oasis in the desert - offers palm trees, dorado fishing, birding
and a hike to nearby cave paintings. Camping on the beach a few feet from the
sea makes many consider Bahia Conception the ultimate Baja destination. Loreto
is one of the most pleasant towns in Baja featuring a mission museum and a 4
wheel drive side trip to San Javier and its well preserved church. A visit to
San Carlos allows us to explore Magdalena Bay with its mangroves and estuaries.
La Paz is noted for an attractive waterfront walkway and some of the best scuba
diving on the peninsula. The adventure ends in the popular tourist resort of
Cabo San Lucas. This is an adventure packed 75 minute experience!
