Eco Center ?? just NW of Catavina ?
Greetings all
Is anyone familiar with an Eco Turista camp just north of Catavina and on the West side of the highway ?
I have seen a simple sign and road but forgot to record the name.
Just wondered if anyone knows more.
Many thanks

It is at the turnoff, parking area for the pictograph site. 2 kms. north of Catavi�a... It was never open or active when I was close by, it was in
ruins last I noticed... but maybe it was re-activated? I drove by last in July.

Hi David
No not near the pictographs but about a mile north of there on the west side....there is a rustic sign pointing down the sand road....
Hmmm.... sign seemed not so old.
We also wondered about other small local Ejido (or other) efforts to highlight local resources.....throughout B C S.
Looking for things do away from the highway.

I love to wander in that area. Take a walk up or down a canyon and you can find all sorts of stuff.

Are we talking about La Bocana (no, not where Blanca lives)? It is shown as a Zona Arquelogica on maps, off the road to Punta Canoas/Faro San Jos�.

The geo dome is on the east side, and in bad shape.

I FINALLY found the photo of the sign just north of Catavina on the west side of the highway.
The name is "La Bocana"
Ecoturistico about 25 K west.
Has anyone traveled down this sand road ?
Many thanks

I was out that way around 3 or so years ago .
You'll see one more broken down sign that leads you to a Rancho that has been long ago abandoned and in total disrepair.

The webpage is copyright 2015 so I wonder if it has been refurbished since you were there. Looks like a nice little side trip to check it out.

Pretty sure you're talking about a different place.

This sounds like the Rancho owned by the folks that run the restaurant across the highway from the hotel at Catavi�a. We talked with them a year or
so ago and they encouraged us (offroad group) to come out and stay there. Sounds interesting.

It may very well be refurbished now . It has been several years. I didn't see much of interest as I was headed to the coast.

This photo was posted less than a year ago of the lodge there... Is this what islandhop found in disrepair?

Well. I'm usually pretty good at finding my way around Baja but this definitely is not what I found.. So I probably just stumbled upon an old
Rancho..
