JUST this year's major Baja trips...


Perhaps not as good as living year round in Rosarito Beach, but just this year here are the major trips south, as listed in my Baja Notebook, many with links to photos from those trips. Still more trips to come this year... and previous years trips can be viewed at http://vivabaja.com.

The purpose of these web pages is to share photos and details of interest to Baja bound travelers, not to promote me, as I have no Baja business or financial gain from my web pages.

The photos serve only to inspire you to come to Baja, help the local economy by doing so, and to respect the historic sites as you will appreciate them more knowing their importance to the history of California (the peninsula and land north once part of Mexico and Spain).

I do not gloat about a place I visited but refuse to tell where it is as some sort of power trip. Baja is not mine or any one persons private place... It is truly a gift from God for those who have a spirit of adventure and recreation...
