Just reviewing web pages and had another look at Mexitron's cool photos from the top of Cerro Matomi (between Puertecitos and El Rosario). I hear
there's still a bottle of tequila at the top for the next team up!!! http://vivabaja.com/mexitron

hiking permit

Where do i get one?David K - 2-16-2005 at 09:31 AM
Frank, unless you get a better answer I am going to suggest you go to the museum in San Ignacio or where-ever you get the permits to visit the giant
cave paintings in San Pablo Canyon (San Francisco de la Sierra). Ask Ricardo at 'Int'l. Rice and Beans' (restaurant and motel) which is just below
Mex. 1, on the side paved road turning right (at the right turn junction to enter San Ignacio).

This from Baja Nomad JESSE:
In ejido Bonfil you can get a guide to climb that mountain ( ask for Mr Ramon Arce), but you MUST ask for information and authorization to climb that
volcano at the Estaci?n Biol?gica de la Reserva de El Vizca?no in Guerrero Negro, you do need authorization since the volcano is part of a biological
reserve under the federal goverment.
I believe Ejido Bonfil is south of San Ignacio off of Mex 1.Bruce R Leech - 2-16-2005 at 11:27 AM
yes In ejido Bonfil is where you must git this permit.Mexitron - 2-16-2005 at 12:04 PM
Wow, that's amazing....a permit to climb Tres Virgenes....times are-a-changing. Well, no need for a permit to climb Matomi....yet.......guess its
outside the Central Park. Nice view from there--both Pacific and Gulf. Thanks for the reminder DK!
Great response

Great stuff, I'll check into it.

cost of guide to hike Tres Virgines
Frank_R - 2-25-2005 at 04:51 PM
Jesse,
Do you know how much Mr. Ramon Arce charges for guide services? and where in Ejido Bonfill I can locate him. I suppose it's not a very big place so it
should be easy, please advise.
Visitor's pass and Tres Virgense hiking permit question
Frank_R - 3-2-2005 at 10:17 AM
To Bruce or Jesse,
Should I wait til I get to Guerro Negro before I get my visitor's pass or should I get it sooner. The last time in Baja we stopped in Ensenada and we
wasted alot of time looking and for then waiting to get our paperwork processed. The reason why I'm concerned about waiting til I get to Guerro Negro
is because of the military check points along the way. Also, what will be the easiest way to find the Estacion Biologica de la Reserva de El Vizcaino
in GN?
Thanks for your help.
Frank
