4 hours + of bad road. 4X4 probably not necessary, but good to know you have.

But it is solid 5 to no more than 10 miles an hour for 61 KM.

the Comundu's are my very favorite place in all baja. The easiest access to them is going towards San Juanico from Insurgentes...turn right at Francisco Villa village and head up the mountain...easy as pie.

Going to tie that in with a trip to San Juanico and make it a three or four day trip. Thanks for the info.
Shari, I remember your trip report to Comundu's a year or so ago, sounded great.

I agree with Shari.
When we went 2 months ago from KM 61 between Loreto and Mulege. . . it was an arduous trip up, but glad we made it. 2 trucks made the trip. Shook the bolts out of the starter and wires loose on one truck. Would not do it without another truck - 2 couples or something - in case of a breakdown.

We were supposed to go back the same way from San Ignacio - but decided to go down through La Purisima, over to San Juanico to check it out, back to Insurgentes and down the Cuesta to Ligui and on in to Loreto.

I go and return that way now. And it is spectacular!

There's a lot of Spanish mission history in that valley!
