Not sure which Deno, if not one of those mentioned, perhaps Punta Final? El Sacrificio is another, between Beluga and Final.




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

...a fun drive in,,doable in a 2wd,, nice relaxing setting with good facilities, usually positive interactions with other travellers and mexicans,,, and that great sunday(?) market just down the hill.
...someone fill in details?.


okayy,,here's the deets for the hotspring campsite just south of ensenada,,,for me it's a 'must-stop' arriving from canada,,,a great way to unwind and get on Baja time.....

...someone got pictures of the San Carlos Hotsprings?

here's the hotspring thread... http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=50517&pag...

Take Highway 1 headed south from Ensenada. About 4 miles south of the COSTCO, turn left at the road to the Baja Country Club (stoplight intersection).

Follow signs to the Country Club, then turn left off the Country Club road where indicated by the sign for the hot springs.......

I have been told that you can make it to the hot springs in a passenger car, but since you have to cross a stream bed with running water several times, I would suggest something with high ground clearance.
I'm sure other Nomads can fill in the details and add photos

...here's an update....last march,,had no problem accessing with a nissan quest,,crappy road-clearance,,,the streams are a very uniform depth of ~5'',,if you feel allright after doing the first crossing,,you'll make it no problem,,the crossings are the same or less from there.........the drive is ~20 minutes,,don't be fooled by a number of quaint places that say 'hotsprings campground',,they mean to say 'camp here,,drive to the hotsprings after'....follow the uniform little signs that are usually posted right beside these places.The 'real' springs campground is the only one with a barrier and attendant waiting,,and is the end of the road.

......last march,I arrived for saturday night ,,,it seems the locals enjoy this place for a big weekend party,,or maybe it was spring break,,,but not the best if you are seeking seclusion.This visit was a late december weekday and quiet.,,,priceing is ~$7/person for overnight,with a lesser rate for visits till ~7pm........massages are ~$15 and VERY well worth it,,,a unique 'lotsa hot water' technique is used.

......this place is excellent as a stop to unwind after a Llllooonnnggg drive from the north!...or unwind and cleanup before making the trek north....car access is okay,,though maybe that extra clearance is worthwhile if there's lotsa rain...as I say,,you'll know at the first crossing:)
