Normally, this is also cheaper. And a lot more comfortable. That is, if the purpose is to get to Cabo.

Canadian Rental rv caravans around corners - now those guys scare me
Baja California can be a heaven or hell experience - often the determining factor is your AWARENESS in the moment.

Watch your speed when pulling off of the highway as well as getting back on. The road itself is usually in great shape but often there is a drop-off
of anywhere from a few inches to a foot or more where the blacktop meets dirt.
An SUV will have the clearance and the suspension to handle it. The guy who asked if his Corvette could make the trip was not warned of these
transition issues 
If you drop the right-side tire off at highway speed, (easy to do if you're pulling a trailer) it could be problematic.

Nice video. We have a CRV and it's one of the worst handling vehicles I've owned, definitely not for the track.

I drove the Baja the First Time all at night...

to drive slower, unless you're lucky to keep up with the Aquila or a truck. Slower, because most likely the car coming at you in the other lane ( for
now) is probably drunk. Also, large bovines and equines enjoy the heat radiating from the road at night. Don't worry about the snakes. I didn't say it
wasn't without its hazards, but I do it.......frequently. Oh, and sometimes the cops aren't cops. A good poker face and and ounce of crazy helps in
those situations. It's mo betta when you get to the dirt. Enjoy. |
I was driving to Cabo in '84 with my El Camino loaded with Electronics and Tools to start my Marine Electronics Business. My Mexican partner met me in
front of Hussongs. Drove the whole damn road at night stoned. When we passed the Checkpoint North of La Paz with out stopping the official chased me
down. I just played dumb and he let me go. I took a bunch of CB Radios and parts. Parted out the El Camino and got free cab rides the whole season by
trading CB's and Repairs with the two Sitios.
