motoged, the west-east crossing was through El Cien to just north of San Juan de la Costa
west-east-tarambillas

Haven't been able to use the Agua Verde backdoor for a couple of years now.

We took the same road from Comondu to La Purisma that you and I did a few years ago. It is impassable now to 4 wheel vehicles, hard core 4 wheelers could do it with some road building but there wasn't any signs of 4 wheel traffic on the road. I saw a couple of old mc tracks but that was it. The whole 20 miles looked like that section where I had fun at your expense. I looked hard for a fun part but couldn't find one. Did I mention that we left Comondu at dusk?....bad planning....


good friend of mine drove from Purisima to Comondu about 4 weeks ago - in a ML320. He had to use his winch once. Hated the road, he said.

I'll bet he did, I hated it and I was on 2 wheels.

San Evaristo to El Bosque is not passable


It is bad and I wouldn't attempt it without 4wd but the ranchers are driving in and out.


I guess, I have to go check next week. I checked on 11-16 and it was without any tire tracks.
Went for the beach instead - notice how my girlfriend talks to butterflies

I just returned from a couple of months in Baja exploring the off pavement routes and came across this forum. A few have asked about the boulders on the route over the mountains from San Juan de los Planes. I drove this last month and the route is a bit rough, but passable with high clearance and the boulders appear to have been moved. A photo of the boulders is attached.

Thanks. We were up there north of Boca del Alamo a few weeks ago. Was curious how bad the road got as it swung up into the mountains. It was passable with 4wd to that point, though it's trying to fall into the ocean at a couple of spots.
