First Road Trip to Baja/Loreto


I am planning on driving to Loreto and stopping at some places on the way. Please provide suggestions on stops and tell me why is it a good place to stop. Thanks.

PS. I live in Mexico, so I know about Insurance and Visas already.

Happy to advise... but need some data from you:
1) What vehicle are you driving (2WD or 4WD)?
2) Camping or motels?
3) What do you want to see (i.e. desert vegetation, cave art, missions, mines, beaches, palm oasis, ...)
4) What do you want to do (hiking, photography, fishing, surfing swimming, nothing, etc.)?
5) Loreto is a 2-day drive from the border, but how long do you want to spend along the way there?

Welcome to the forum


It would be helpful for anyone making a recommendation to know what you are looking for. For instance, are you looking for camping or RV sites, modest lodging, or pretty nice surroundings?

Are you staying on pavement, secondary or back roads, or off road?

Are you a hiker, beach goer, or looking for historical or architectural viewing?

What do you like?


Edit; Looks like I was a little slow composing my post!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
