PUERTO NUEVO, BCS = 615 158-0262 for reservations
We snuck off and took a mini trip to Puerto Nuevo, about one hour north of bahia asuncion. it is located 11 miles or 14 km off the road between
asuncion and tortugas. there is No sign for Puerto Nuevo itself, look for the sign to;
CABANAS EL HUERTO
RANCHO EL TANGALIOTE
road between la bocana and puerto nuevo:
puerto nuevo is a fish camp of about 33 houses. one of the guys, Marcos, loves farming so he decided to go up into the mountains and pipe water down
to his rancho. he built 8 cabanas and rents them out for 300 pesos a night, sleeps 3 people easily and a dog or two .... take a peek.
this is a picture of the piping:
the road between the main road to tortugas and the Puerto Nuevo fish camp is excellent and the views on the way beautiful:
the entrance to the camp:
Les loved the pulley system for bringing boats up the shore:
this rug was outside marcos's home - I was told that a guy in tortuga makes them ... sooooo cool
entrance to the rancho
nearby the cabins is a full kitchen:
in summary, it felt like we were going back in time 100 years. there are no phones. no stores at all (take all your food and drinks). no cell phone
reception. no internet (obviously). millions of stars at night. no one besides Les and I in one of the 8 cabins and marcos and wife come and visit
some, share wonderful san ignacio wine and then go back home and leave you on your own ...
we swam in the slightly balmy nite in a wonderful pool ... with wine and beer in hand. very romantic and very Baja.
If you are interested in going, write or call us here in la bocana 615 156=0056 and we will call marcos's sister who will radio him for your
reservation. hey, we could do smokesignals too !

Radio contact and no cell phones, great. What will the kids do? Were you able
to buy some fresh fish or caracol, Amiga? Good place to trade carne asada for some seafood, no? Hwy 1 mileage to Nuevo?? Thanks for sharing.

You mean 11 miles off the road to Bahia Tortuga, not Mex 1, correct? Very cool to know about the cabins for rent, thanks for the report. Any beach
access along there? - from your photos it looks like lots of steep bluffs other than the small cove where they launch the pangas.

yes yes yes - the road to tortuga is correct - tomorrow I will have Les give me the specifics .... I was ogling too much and didn't pay attention. not
only that, I am the most clueless person when it comes to directions 
cabins are a whopping 200 pesos a night 
no cell phone shari, no landline either. no webpage since they have no internet and marcos is a real simple retired fisherman turned ranchero. I can
get amessage to the sister who will let him know ... if you have a radio , you can radio him which is what the sister does - let me see if I can get
details on that or maybe Juan knows ??
great to go as a couple and Les went 2 times with a big group and they had a huge bonfire and really enjoyed themselves.
there is bbeach access but we didn't go. I have no idea about the surf and I bet they don't either. someone is going to have to bite the bullet and
check that one out for us.
there are no kids there any more, apparently they recently closed down the school and kids now have to study elsewhere. there were not enough kids to
warrant a school. such a shame.

Bajacat - you will LOVE it there...Marcos is a wonderful character and host, and so is his wife. Originally from San Ignacio, he retired and stayed on
his rancho but still keeps his ties to San Ignacio ...
David - the maps are great. fantastic. now, we did the dirt road and the paved road, both. the locals think that the dirt road saves a lot of miles,
but as you can see, the reality is quite a small difference and the paved road was way better.
Tio - we did not trade for fish or other seafood, but for sure you can. Last time the boys took meat and got lobster - lots of lobster !! September
20th their lobster season starts and that goes til February !! see you there ....

I agree with Blanca's assessment although the last time I was there the cabins had not been built. With the paving and building of roads these places
are becoming more accessible. Riding up along this coast in a light vehicle or better yet, on a ATV is a very enjoyable and memorable experience.

Marcos so has the right idea ... pool with warmed water....simple cabins with full access to a kitchen - all run on solar power. spotlessly clean and
dog friendly (did I mention they gave us a free cabin to put Rex in so that the coyotes wd not hassle him ??)
200 pesos a cabin with 2 full size beds ..
silence.....peace......cats ....butterflies .......perfect.
