I would like to know where the protected areas are listed! I would hate to blunder into some place I am not supposed to be.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

These would be such places with natural water such as a spring or stream where you see lot's of black drip irrigation tubes... Perhaps native trees
make it hidden from view from planes or copters flying over.... and maybe some very green plants growing!
Happen to us in 2000 in Agua Caliente canyon, southwest from San Felipe!
To the O.P., the national parks, like San Pedro Martir has an entrance fee...

You can buy a "Passport" for a year that is good for any protected areas, biosphere reserves in the country...should be able to get them at any
Biosphere Reserve office...there is one in Guerrero Negro. Then you dont need any bracelets anywhere.

There is also a yearly marine park pass but availability seems to vary. Check where you get the daily bracelets, marine park office at marina in
Loreto. Not famidair with other locales. Maybe someone knows an online source?
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

You can get the Conservation passport valid for a year since the date you got it. Its valid for any mexican natural protected areas like Vizcaino,
Sierra de la Laguna, etc, also for national parks like San Pedro Martir, Cabo Pulmo and Constitution of 1857, among others, and includes some areas
for the protection of native plants and animals (native and migrants)
Usually in any regional or local office of CONANP you can get the conservation passport or a wrist band for some activities (fishing, wildlife
watching, camping, etc).
In Guerrero Negro you can call the Biosphere Reserve Office, ask for Marisol Aguilar at (615) 157-17-77 option 6, or 0 for a live operator.
The list of the natural protected areas its too big (176 and growing) enclosing 25,394,779 hectares in 6 different categories
Check this website of CONANP (Copy and paste in your browser)
http://www.conanp.gob.mx/english.php/
Also in this site theres a list of some of the ANP´s and some basic info if you click on its name.
http://www.conanp.gob.mx/regionales/
Hope this helps.

If you have more than about 4 days of bracelet fees per year, usually cheaper to buy the passport.

We tried to buy passport cards 4 years in a row at Guerrero Negro. Only got them one time. They were out of cards, the guy that sells the cards can
not be reached, the government is changing the cards and we have no idea when they will be here.......
Call ahead and save yourself the trouble.
