The capital of BCS, La Paz, is a sprawling town on the center of the eastern coast that mixes adventure tourism with a local beat. We stayed a fair distance outside the main boardwalk area, known as the Malecon, which is clogged with touristy restaurants. Our unassuming neighborhood boasted tiny taco, ceviche, and fresh juice stands that had unpredictable hours and reliably tasty offerings.
I’ve made this crossing numerous times, both on foot and by bicycle, in an attempt to get to know some of the peninsula’s beaches, party towns, deserts, scuba diving spots, and steamy hot springs. I’ve also camped at half a dozen campgrounds, under some of the darkest and most star-spangled skies you can imagine.
The area is also filled with spots for freediving and spearfishing. If you have a car, head to Ventana, a small coastal town about 45 minutes’ drive from La Paz. Ventana is known for its windy beaches and optimal kiteboarding conditions. Baja’s onshore adventures aren’t to be missed either.
It’s worth noting that while whale season runs during the winter into early spring, these months aren’t ideal for scuba diving. The visibility is limited, and the water is cold. Prime diving season is in October when the waters are clear and comfortably warm.
Our adventure also included diving with sea lions later that week. After two hours of flying across choppy waves, wrapped in coats and towels to shield us from the winter wind, our boat finally slowed down. As the rays of sun restored warmth to our bodies, a chorus of barking grew louder and louder.
While hitchhiking is not nearly as dangerous as it's rumored to be, it’s been shown that women are more likely to be raped or assaulted than men while hitchhiking (an unfortunate fact that holds true even when hitchhiking is not involved).
I believe that their gas pumps are rigged to show almost double of the actual price and liters. I worked in petroleum maintenance for many years and I calibrated gas pumps.
The sun slowly sank into the ocean, casting tangerine and golden reflections across the water. The moon rose and dusk gave way to a star-speckled sky, while crickets chirped in the distance.
There is safety in numbers so even if you’re traveling alone, consider sticking close to other groups of travelers, particularly if it’s dark out or you’re in an unfamiliar area. If someone approaches you for money, directions, other types of help, or if they are hitting on you, look for other groups of visitors nearby and pretend to know them.
And after a day of long adventures in Todos Santos the thing to do is catch a sunset, of course. We sat down on a deserted stretch of sand, just a short walk from our house, and watched the waves roll out and come crashing back in with mesmerizing force, getting misted by sea spray.
A fake website is designed, similar to the original website, using the same information as the regular entity but failing to provide the service.
The CNPJ must be informed on any invoice of any company, as well as on the packaging of any industrialized product.
We denied the insurance per check here my credit card agreement but came back to drop off it was back on bill for over a thousand for the week. My timeshare has their own company and will not rent anywhere else. There are reputable companies that will drive you around the area and will do that over renting again with those companies near airport. US insurance does not cover Mexico. Add a Comment
To set ourselves up for success, we mostly relied on retired Canadians who we learned are absolutely all over the place in Baja California. They drive their RVs down from copyright to escape the frigid northern winter and make their way to Baja, bouncing between various beaches and campgrounds.
Baja California is as safe for female travelers – if not safer – than many other destinations in Mexico and Latin America. Still, women need to exercise more caution than men, so even though there is never any excuse for catcalling, harassment, assault, or rape, it’s in our best interest to take additional steps to avoid unwanted attention and inappropriate behavior.
