ENSENADA TRAVELER WARNING!!!!

TRAVELER WARNING!!!!

This is Kathy Aviles of El Mirador in Todos Santos and I have just returned from a trip on the Baja. I had spoken with another traveler who had warned me about some Mexican gangs in the Ensenada area who were targeting tourists. The story went that if you attempted to use the toll road between Ensenada and Tijuana (going north) between 11pm and 5am - you would be attacked. Several American tourists were attacked, shot and all their stuff was stolen. The person telling me the story said that the local police was doing nothing about it.

When I was going north on Sunday the 24th, passing the first toll booth from Ensenada I noticed a police car pull out just as I came up to the gate. A few miles down the road the police car was driving in the middle of the road not allowing any cars to pass. We were given a police escort all the way past the main beach area just before the second toll booth. Also, the AFI Police were stopping all vehicles and looking inside of them.

The Mexican police are trying to help - but it was only 7pm when I crossed that point.

So, travelers beware!!!
