That's a question for Mr. Around The World, Fishbuck. All I've heard is the more you pay now, the less you pay later.

gas
food
"refrescos"
panguero
=
$75/day is about right. now that "they" put me on salary i don't worry about missing $ when not working...

gas is the main drain. we always bring too much food and usually too much drink. the pangueros are our friends and we fish while they haul traps/dive, other places it's $30 per gringo.

this is for a 5-10 day expedition. 2-3 days works out to 1/2.

Yes, if you don't call beer 'food'... To me, the liquid malt, hops and barley is a great food! :light:

We (4) consumed 69 cans of Tecate on the beach and a few bottles of Dos Equis at BajaRob's (averages about 6 beers: day: person) :cool:

:bounce::bounce::bounce::yes:

I am speaking in 'averages' :lol:

Actually, we consumed more as Kelly is not a beer drinker and only had a couple each day.

In 1984 my cousin and I did a five-day trip driving as far south as Guerrero Negro...our cost for the entire trip was $60! Gas was 25 cents a gallon, beer was $2.40 a case (and we didn't skimp there!), tequila $3.00 a bottle, salsa 10 cents a can, etc, etc...no hotels of course but had the time of our lives surfing and fishing.

Nowadays need to budget at least $300 to $400 for a similar trip.
