A leisurely trip down Mex 1


We're going to slow troll Mex 1 from our Colonet base to Los Barriles, taking about 10 or 12 days at the end of October/start of November. No camping this trip...all low key motels and restaurants.
Thinking about :
Beachcombing at Malarimo
Checking out La Bocana Adventures
A different place than El Morro
Exploring Lopez Mateos

We know some other places we'll see/eat/stay on the trip, but suggestions about ANY of this route to East Cape is appreciated.

Playa Malarrimo: From many others: Be careful of the beach... to the east (north) towards Scammon's Lagoon (Laguna Ojo de Liebre) wind blown dry sand covers quick-sand-like mud that can swallow 4WDs... ask Neal Johns! There is a short-cut road that was described and we posted the satellite images of it... a little searching or if help needed, will dig it all up. The fish camp Malarrimo is a different place, further west (south) on the big hook of Baja. It is accessed by a graded road from Bahia Tortugas. A road continues on almost to Playa Malarrimo from there.

MALARRIMO: Bad to be near!

Don't do Malarrimo without a second vehicle/quad and lots of supplies! It is treacherous.



No worries

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

And if you haven't been to Campo Rene, stay there too....it is a unique bird watching locale with a nice lagoon and restaurant. Very basic cabins, very reasonably priced. It is between highway 1 and Punta Abreojos.
