I give a huge thank you for posting the photos. Now I would like to hear your opinions on the place. Would it be worth forgoing a few days on the beach in order to include this place in my travels? I especially like the picture of the camp with the rope going across the river. It reminds me of what car camping in the U.S. would still be like if we didn't have to undergo all that inevitable progress. Are there campsites right close to the smaller pools at SC like there are at Canyon de Guad?

Great photos BAJACAT! Back in the 60's(oops, just dated myself) We used to go up there to soak in the Spanish tiled, private tubs/rooms.They were funky, and I took cleaning products with me when we went.The pool was there then but not as nice as it looks in your pics. I have to confess, my daughter was concieved there (Juanita)!!!!That was 1968 !!! oh my, I need a vacation to Baja now........:O:yes:



Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

It will if you dont go in a weekend because you will be surround it by local people. if you you like privacy , mid week will be best, as far as the hot pools there is only three of them and they are located right in plain sight,ther is nothing so far that compares to G-Canyon .. but still is a nice spot to visit in aweekend.

Thanks for the information. We went back in that direction to pick up some sand last year but never made it to the hot baths. But now I see it as a "must".
