Hiway 1 to Asuncion to Abreojos to Hiway 1

These are approximates---but close. We don't do the exact to the foot measurements.

From highway 1 to the turnoff to Asuncion it is about 45 miles. All paved, but some really nasty areas of potholes.

Turn-off to Asuncion is about 26 +/- miles. Most of it is paved now, some bad spots where the storm damaged the first part of the road, but just be watchful. Last 8 +/- miles are dirt, and it depends on when the road grader has been through.

This part takes you through really open desert areas that we love.

Asuncion to Abreojos is 60+/- miles. To San Hipolito it is usually very good and then can become a real washboard. But, in the areas where you can drive on the salt flats, it is smooth as anything.

The road from Abreojos to Highway 1 is mostly paved---I think it is about only 5 miles of dirt.

Worth it? We love it. You will find some of the most isolated coast areas that are just beautiful. There can be surfing near Asuncion at Punta Choros and fishing all the way down --- lots of isolated camping spots. Just a beautiful area

Of course there should be surfing at Abreojos and then Campo Rene is well worth a visit.

But one person to whom we gave this information, hated the drive.

I would post a bunch of pictures of that coast line, but better you see it in person if you go.

Well close---but it is 62 miles from Campo Rene to the Pemex in San Ignacio and about 5 miles from Campo Rene to Abreojos, so that is less than 70 miles from Abreojos to Pemex in San Ignacio.

My extensive number of photos are to follow, so we can see who has the best and most, but Thai food is waiting for me.

mojo_norte---if you love deserted beaches, go for it. The turn off to Abreojos is before the town of Bahia Asuncion, but do drive into Bahia Asuncion. Also there is a gas pump there where you can top off if you want. Do be sure to drive into Punta Prieta and San Hipolito---nice places.

HAVE FUN and ignore RTS and myself.

Now, exactly where did you begin your measurement? From the entrance to town from the main road or from the salt flat road? Or perhaps from downtown at the malecon?

And where did you end your measurement---at the turn off to Campo Rene, or the restaurant there. And if you were riding your quad while making these measurements, were you driving in a straight line?

Sorry, but it is my job to make sure you are giving absolutely, minutely, the EXACT information---the real truth.

Mojo, yes, when are you going? Your truck with duel tanks will be no problem---

Thanks all - love Mojo

Mojo---there are times the Pemex in San Ignacio can run out of gas---usually not for long. So if you are staying there and they are open, fill up and don't wait until later or the morning.

Oh, and I have it as 12.2 miles from 'downtown Abreojos' to Campo Rene restaurant... but I may be off up to a mile as we made a couple loops in town looking for Fishin' Rich and Whistler!

Did either of you read the first lines, above the roadlog?:

In my web site, from our July, 2007 trip http://vivabaja.com/707

Hwy. 1 at Vizcaino to Asuncion, then along the coast to Abreojos then back to Hwy. 1 near San Ignacio: (note: the only non paved portion now is the road between Asuncion and Abreojos... and a few miles going into Asuncion from Vizacaino.)



The pavement will end where it ends... 5 miles from town, in town or elsewhere... I dodn't think it will change his plans, or the mileages (which is wat he was asking about).

Typing so fast and upset that you can't edit? Or are dodn't and wat new words?

Your information about the road out to Bahia Asuncion is also very outdated.

But you tried. That is what is important. Good Job

Boy, got me on that one---the existence and condition of pavement makes no difference.

Good one DK---Good Job---You get your gold star for the day.

Here's the gas station in La Bocana. Full service with diesel too. If they're closed, just start asking around.
