New development in El Pescadero?
I just found this article online that mentioned a new development in Pescadero called "El Perdido". Initially I thought they had confused it with "Paradero",
but noted several other articles about the same place. Can anyone confirm?

Another article: https://tendenciaelartedeviajar.com/en/2020/02/destination/a...
Edit... a search turns up a lot on El Perdido, including this fancy website: https://elperdido.mx/

The portion of the website with the road trip looks familiar. I am certain that most of the shots were taken on the west side of the pass that runs
through the Los Naranjos ranch.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

It's a different spot. I saw one of their jeeps when we were grabbing tacos at Manchin last time I was down there. The place is located on the baja
beans road. I did a drive by and it looked nice enough, but I think I'd be disappointed after looking at that website. It's a pretty small place,
looked like half a dozen or so bungalows.

It's on the Baja Beans road a few
hundred meters back from the Tequila Ranch. Some of my neighbors went there to have dinner and ended up leaving after one drink when they were told it
would be a 600 peso corkage fee to open a 200 peso bottle of wine. They were charged 300 pesos for a mojito.

Thanks for the replies! The website definitely gives the impression that the resort is lush and spacious. Judging from the price of wine and
c-cktails, I can only imagine how much a few nights in the "jacales" must cost, particularly with the included "sensory experiences".
Interesting that visitors are encouraged to indulge both their spiritual side in the "ceremonial center" and their destructive side by taking a spin
on an ATV.

They are so "woke" that they turned their guests loose on the local beaches to drive over turtle
nests with Razr's.

I wonder how many nomads, like me, had to look up what a "corkage fee" is.
Ay yi yi
This place is on a dirt road, right?

Perdido is following in the footsteps of Paradero and neither of them can compete with Rancho Pescadero. The road Baja Beans is on is called
Tequila Ranch Road, or, Tequila Road. It was created and is maintained by the scum who own Tequila Ranch (where dozens of cardon were bulldozed).
Owner got a slap on the wrist. The Ranch is a flop.
Tequila road is a dusty and heavily traveled road. Can't see California prices at this location. Perdido is selling fantasy -- are you lost?
Marketing.
20+ years ago some in Todos were marketing the town as the Malibu of Baja. Not sure what qualifies as magico but Pesky is getting the run off of
Todos mystique. And bullshlt.

Does the Tequila Ranch Road still feature El Río Negro? Talk about a sensory experience!

Lee....Carmel of Baja out of the SF Chronicle I believe...many years ago.....early 90s?! Perdido....very Caboesque. There have been a few bad
accidents out back on the Rancho roads,,,including a neighbor who did not survive. You guys find more gossip than me and I live here...Ha, ha, ha!!
Oh yeah..Paul. Rio Negro (sewage) has its appearances.

Interesting story about Pesky sewage meandering off the highway down the road. Think there was an accident a friend was helping with, directing
traffic or something, and got into the sewage. The pizza place at that intersection (19 & Tequila Rd.), handed out food to the workers. She
was contaminated, and handled food, and got Hep.
Guess she was close to going North, got to California and she was yellow and not doing well.
Stay away from the Rio.
