To All: Anyone driven from Rosario to Mission Borja to Bay of LA lately? Any information about the cave paintings?
Thanks Brian

Which cave paintings?

Montevideo and Las Tinajitas are both off the north San Borja road.

I posted several photos of Montevideo taken last September. See the Baja Extreme 2016 trip report.

Anybody have good directions to the Las Tinajitas rock art? Is it well marked?

It's in the next valley north of San Borja, suggest you contact Jos� to guide you or one of his sons, very reasonable cost. It will be a good thing.

Here is Jose's son's card, and he can contact his dad (who doesn't speak English) for you...

a few days ago i talked to a bike rider part of the baja divide that did it on his mountain bike and said it was all good road.

I haven't done it since last January but the road was awesome. My friend just posted a video of our ride.

Thanks for the video links! They were awesome.

No problem, glad you liked them. I'm the guy on the xr650r. Heading back down in two weeks with 26 bikes and riders! I dont think I'll be riding through San Borja this year though.

Isn't that some great Baja in there!?

I just did it last week and it's in the best shape I've seen in years...easy easy and enjoyable. 22 miles of amazing Baja.

Did both roads to San Borja today and yesterday, camping at the mission palapas. The west road from Nuevo Rosarito is very rocky, slower than my last time in 2009. Big campers and motorhomes should avoid.
The north road is superior for the north half and pretty rocky the south half. The better of the two choices.

By chance do any of you recent visitors to BOLA happen to know if there is cell service or diesel available?
Thanks!

David K - 2-9-2017 at 07:41 AM

Diesel yes, at the first station. No cell, but wifi available at various places.

Peripatetic Pull - 2-9-2017 at 08:47 PM

Thanks David K for your answer on diesel & cell.
