I'm willing to bet that with the paving something will miraculously happen in the near future! Too much money to be made now.

There used to be cabins (rooms) for rent at Punta Bufeo Resort (5 miles north of Gonzaga ( Papa Fernandez')... ???

stand-by for maps,gps crap, photos from outer space, distance to outhouses,stories about the 70's, pictures of tire tracks, you know, all the usual stuff! :lol:


My God, I know, how many times do we have to see what Mama Espinosa said in 1973 about bad roads. I don't see how he couldn't get sick of quoting that.

There are newcomers here so just because you have seen DK's posts don't mean they have. Like him or not he is a wealth of info for those who have not been hanging around for years and always willing to help anyone traveling to Baja. This is a public form after all!

And be careful. It can be out of date.

All info is dated... much of mine is more than a couple years old but still applies in many ways, but I do try and have lots of data so you can get an idea of what it was like then...

My last summer trip in Baja was to the tip and back, and I did a really full trip report of it... that trip was in July, 2012. Other than meeting the governor of Baja California and presenting him with our new history book in Tecate, and a 3 day camping trip south of San Felipe, not much travel south the past year.

It would be really super if instead of faulting me for offering 2-8 year old trip advice, you on the sidelines post your reports. I would rather read of others having fun in Baja!

I have a library of Baja books, magazines and maps going back over 100 years that I have collected all my life, and the most value they have is to be shared. I have no desire to be selfish with my treasures.

This^^^ and the one about newbies who may not have seen DKs posts. You can always skip it if you've read it before. No need to be snarky and mean-spirited.

I have stayed there many times, and never had an issue with reservations. I always sent a deposit in advance. There is another hotel across the bay at Punta Final. Not sure how to contact them. The place is very basic (more basic than Alphonsina's), but clean.

Mood: Got my little stone hut on the bay

[*] posted on 2-10-2015 at 08:33 PM


The rate a month ago on a Saturday night was $85.
They want USD payment for everything there.

I sent them an email the day before asking for reservation just for insurance of a room. Got a reply the day after we stayed saying something about 2 weeks...lead time?...length of stay?
There were 4 couples staying that night.
