cabo corrientes
Been doing baja for over 30 years........Always wanted to see this part of the mainland for there no roads into most of the area. To see it, you
really have to hire a panga. There are water taxis to some areas, but not all. Thought Baja was where the 2nd home was gonna be. Thought maybe Abre,
where I learned to surf, or Bocana was a potential. Not anymore...... There are places more beautiful, and in a way, closer to home.

Well, not all is accessable here in a vehicle. Even with a "Baja Vehicle". A few quads made it down 2 years ago to a certain place. So yes,
technically they made it. But won't be back, if you know what I'm talking about. I think that makes it even more attractive, nobody cares what car you
roll in with, because there are no cars!

Yeah, it definetly sounds as such. I should probably shut up and keep it that way. But, for those mentally stuck on the baja, with your trucks and all
(yes I have one), cabo corrientes will not suit you. You simply cannot get vehichles into some of these areas. And yes, there is surf.... but sorry
baja guys, you can't drive to them. It's so nice to look in from the point and see no vehichles. Just white sand and palms.
Not trying to rag on Baja at all. That's were I grew up surfing. Matter of fact, we are headed to Bahia San Basilio in a few days to kayak. I
will always travel and camp in Baja. I'll keep the San Diego house and 4*4. I'll save up for the Mainland panga!

Sounds like you're in for adventure. I've not been there, don't think many people have, so you' may be on your own a lot. Probably want to stick to
the winter months there, likely very warm, June through October (not that different from Baja).
I've been to Yelapa, about a third of the way to your spot, if leaving by water from Bocca; there is a road in to Yelapa but not a good idea as you
can't get down the mountainside to the village with a car, and if you leave it the theives may wreck or steal it. They only have burros or ATV's.
From the south, have made it past La Cruz de Loretto and the Eco hotel at Mismaloya (there are two Mismaloyas in Jalisco, the one on Bandaras is about
80 miles north).
Its a wonderful winter climate. But such a remote place has many drawbacks for a lengthy stay and without a viable law-abiding village you' may soon
lose everything you brought.

We have been sharing a beater truck above Yelapa for 4 years now. The locals call it the culdasac. Used for paragliding and impoting racialla. Keys in
the ignition all the time. Always there. Always full of gas.

Yes, have had the racillia, packs a punch, but smooth. You bought a turned wooden bowl from "R," and a shot was a reward. Very laid back. Things
around Yelapa are better than we were lead to believe.
