Baja Sur question
Are there any restrictions for bringing items bought in the U.S. such as meat, eggs and cheese down into Baja Sur? We have a client that heard it was
not allowed. Anyone have any insight or experience with this?

Often when there is an AG person at GN they look in my cooler and ask if I have vegetables. I never have anything but beer so it's no big deal. I cant
speak to eggs, meat etc. Hope this helps.

Fruits and vegetables are not allowed. A couple of years ago they were also taking meat and poultry... but not lately.

This past March they took fruit and vegetables only at GN. I also know people in the past (1-2 years ago) had meat taken.

Ya, but did they search your vehicle or ask you if you had those items?
Curious, we're heading past GN this summer and would like to bring as much food from home as possible for our trip and not lose it to a hungry group
of inspectors.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Last three times, different each time. They ask and don't search twice, and once they looked---mainly in the ice chest when we said no fruit.

Last two times down they asked about fruits, veggies and meat. At least once wanted to look in our cooler, but were distracted by the spray guy (with
our help).
On one of those trips we had beef from Ensenada, with receipts, but you never know what they may do...
And we got ripped off last time! The sprayer took our 10 pesos, but didn't spry our car with the whateverathon! I was outraged!

Hwy. 1 is not the only road that goes into Baja California Sur people, it's just the only one where they take your food... !!

I can not figure the agricultural stops out. They take your fruit going from North to south. I get to La Paz where there
are finally tons of exotic tropical fruit that does not grow
up north. Go to the CCC and buy some killer avocados,Baja limones, and mangoswith
dreams of guacamole and seafood cocteles,carnes asada
with avocado and mangos for afterwards when I stop at Loreto. Get a few klicks
out of La Paz heading north and its "hand over your fruit and vegetables" at the check point. One time the fruit and avocados were so good that I
turned around and snacked
on as many as I could without getting sick. It was worth the delay.

The easy way around all that is to take the right turn at the airport sign a mile BEFORE the border checkpoint...it takes you past the airport, the
nice sand dune beach then ends up in town next to the bank...very simple..great road, legal and avoids any possible confiscations.

Shari, don't they see the vehicles that are doing this? Wouldn't they be suspicious if campers would take this detour? I had thought about doing
this the last time we went that way, saw the sign and the turnoff, but then I could see the checkpoint and wondered what they would do if a Camper did
this? Well, I guess if the road exists, there should not be a problem, huh?
We are planning our next trip to Baja in early October for possibly 3-weeks duration. And, most likely will pass through your neck of the woods this
time on our way South, and hope to stop by.
