Hello Everyone, I will be heading down to Baja in early November to check out places to paddle. While I am down there I am considering taking several extended trips of 6-8 days. One I will be paddling is from Mulege to Loreto. Can any one else give me some other ideas or interesting sights to stop at as I will be driving down and staying about 5 weeks. Or as long as my money holds out.

Mulege-Loreto route is *too* popular with kayakers and local thieves. Beaches adjacent to the Transpeninsular highway are trashed, and to paddle around the peninsula that protects Concepcion Bay, you might need more than 5-6 days. Besides, this area a bit far down south. I would suggest Baja de los Angeles area instead. BDLA is a little town with no bus connection, and there is a natural reserve there. I wouldn't go south of Santa Rosalia or San-Lucas Cove ( a dozen miles or so south of St-Ros). In St. Rosalia you may stay in Las Palmas camping, and in San-Lucas - in either of their 2 or 3 camps, though Dos Amigos is probably the best. Anyway, a place to recommend in Mulege is Orchard camping - shady, with hot showers, on the river half-mile from the river mouth and 1 mile from downtown. Ecomundo camp south of Mulege (I've been told) is a decent place too. Loreto itlself is a faceless place, and a bit too crowdy for Baja (and for me). > > Or as long as my money holds out. Those camps go from 5 to 15$ a night (twice less without a car), and I suppose you'll have a stove and couple of boxes of cans (simple propane stove is the best - no problem to refill). There are also $50 hotels with reataurants, it's a matter of personal choice. I've figured out that in Mexico camping is allowed anywhere, unless there is somebody's house there. Alex. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
