Our Baja Amigos 28 Day RV Caravan Tour
Taking a camping journey down the 🏜 Baja California in Mexico, was something I had wanted to do for many years. My wife and I finally made this happen a few seasons ago, by joining a …
🌺 Baja Mexico RV Caravan Tour
This was our first major driving trip with our recreational vehicle into Mexico. We definitely wanted to have the company and experience of well-seasoned travelers, who have made this journey a number of times before.
We selected the {Baja Amigos 28 Day RV Caravan Tour}, for this exciting adventure!
Experience a Baja Mexico RV Tour
We selected Baja Amigos above their competitors for a number of very important reasons.
For example;
✔ Length of Tour & Month Selection
✔ Experienced & Knowledgeable Wagon Masters
✔ Solid Business Reputation
✔ Small Group Caravans Only
✔ Stay Over Option
✔ And much more!
If you have been thinking of taking a camping adventure down the Baja like us, but are still a little hesitant, for a variety of reasons, hopefully these next articles of mine about our journey, will help you decide one way or another.
My wife and I had a wonderful trip, met some great travel companions and did some amazing excursions, on the way. We also witnessed some spectacular scenery down the Baja, as well!
Baja Mexico Camping Tour Week Three
Below, is pretty much a complete diary of our 🏕 camping adventure,continuing on with … Week 3.
This is the third of 4 articles I’ve written here, highlighting; places visited, camping locations and special excursions taken along the way. All, that we experienced with Baja Amigos and their 🚌 Baja Mexico RV Caravan Tours.
Baja Mexico RV Caravan Tour Week 3
Day 15 Rancho Verde
After enjoying 3 great nights on the🏖 beach in Playa Tecolote, we’re off and running again. We departed at 08:30, for our travel day of 65 miles / 105 kilometers. We’re heading to a; 3100 Acre Ranch known as – Rancho Verde, where we will camp for the night.
Today, we head inland and still traveling south towards 🌅 Cabo San Lucas. We travel thru sections of narrow winding roads and rolling hills, with lots of; desert 🌵 cactus.
El Truiunfo
Along the way, we made a stop for brunch at the picturesque and historic old mining town of; ⚒ El Triunfo.
We head into the charming – Cafe el Triunfo, where we all enjoyed an excellent brunch. Their menu offered a variety of outstanding 🌮 Mexican dishes, to choose from. There’s even delicious freshly made 🍕 pizza.
Their fresh baking goods at the front counter, was also a big hit!
After brunch, there was time to stroll the old mining ruins, the historic ⛪ church and the small village and shops of; El Triunfo.
We had a chance to visit the local grocery store as well, to purchase some fresh baking and other goodies.
We even spotted a local farmer who dropped by the store with some very fresh asparagus. We were able to purchase a bunch to enjoy for dinner that evening!
After an excellent brunch stop, it was time to get the wagon train moving and make our way, to our camp for the night at; Rancho Verde.
Rancho Verde
Rancho Verde was a very quiet and peaceful campground, with beautiful 🏜 Cardon Cactus, growing between the sites and throughout grounds.
The park offered excellent fresh 🌊 Spring Water, right from the taps at each campsite. They had very clean 🚻 washrooms and hot 🚿 showers as well, for campers.
My wife and I also enjoyed a nice stroll up the hillside behind the campground. It was great to stretch our legs, walk the 🐕 pooch and take in the country air!
This was another nice easy travel day, with a stop for brunch and a very quiet evening, camping under the stars in 🌵 Baja Country!
Wow, today we only have a 22 miles/35 kilometer short drive back, to the Sea of Cortez, for another highly anticipated 3 night stop. The wagon train sets off at 09:00 with everyone eager to get moving on, to our beach destination; Los Barriles.
By now, it appears most everyone is getting used to the early schedule and anxious to get moving, even at 9 am! 😏
We’re all looking forward to this 3 night stay, on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach, on the Sea of Cortez. Our beach front full facility RV Park, is just perfect for our stay!
The park is steps from the 🏖 beach and just a short walk into town, for shopping and groceries. It had just re-opened, complete with; new washrooms, hot showers and laundry.
Wi-fi was also excellent for everyone to catch up on 📧 emails and what’s happening, at home.
I even had my motorhome washed and waxed by 2 great park amigos, who were definitely … happy in their work! 🙂
The ocean was beautiful and crystal clear, where many of us took the opportunity to take a plunge. Not too cold, but refreshing and nice to, finally swim a bit in the … Sea of Cortez!
This area is very popular with visitors and 4 Wheelers. It’s a favorite for ATV enthusiasts where riding on the beach and streets, is permitted.
Rentals are available as well and a few in our group, grabbed the opportunity to enjoy some; 4 wheeling during our stay!
If you love water sports, then this is beach town for you. It’s a favorite for; swimming, windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and much more!
Los Barriles is a perfect sized town, not too big and not too small. It’s situated between the popular tourist cities of; La Paz and San Jose del Cabo.
Both cities are easily reached by vehicle from both directions, in less than 2 hours. The 🛬 San Jose del Cabo Airport is only about 45 minutes from Los Barriles, making this a favorite winter destination for 🕊 Snowbirds.
Many, who have permanent winter homes and RV Park spaces here.
We also all had a great time on just another hosted {Happy Hour}, thanks to our hosts! Our happy hours seemed to be getting longer each night.
In fact, we even ordered 🍕 Pizza later in the evening and had it delivered, right to us. We had an instant 🔥 campfire thanks to one of our group members, making the evening … too much fun!! 🙂
It was difficult for many of us to leave this favorite destination on our 28 day journey. Even our dog Oscar, had a blast on the beach!
I’m sure many in our group will return on their own, once again.
We all seemed to love our stay here on the beach, with 🌞 sunny blue skies and hot days. It was great to spend time relaxing and enjoying the many outdoor activities Los Barriles, has to offer.
Day 19 Pescadero
This was without a doubt, one of the more interesting and adventuresome type days and evenings, on the entire tour. As Dan & Lisa indicated, they promised fun and adventure and they certainly delivered, on this day!
At 08:30, we hit the road for our most southern point on the journey; San Jose Del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
Unfortunately and because of the continuing growth and expansion of these two; very popular tourist destinations on the south tip of the Baja, there are no longer any campgrounds and/or RV parks in the immediate vicinity to stay.
So, it was on to the small town of Pescadero heading north away from Cabo. First we would be stopping in town at the very large {Shopping Mall}, for supplies.
A little disappointing to have to drive right thru, after finally arriving at the most; Southern Tip of Baja Mexico.
Tropic of Cancer Visitor Center Baja Mexico
First, it’s a nice short body break at the {Tropic of Cancer} on the Baja. A little gift shop and a few displays depicting our location, were here as well.
After our short visit it’s wagons ho, as we continue on reaching our most southern tip, of the journey.
As we approach San Jose Del Cabo, things begin to change drastically!
It’s clear to see the huge growth and modernization here in the form of; new buildings, 🏨 resorts and even 🛣 road improvements.
Cabo San Lucas Mexico
It begins to feel like we have left Mexico entirely and have arrived in a typical; American tourist resort.
There’s ⭐ 5 star seaside resorts, 🏌 golf courses, restaurants, bars and modern 🛍 shopping centers.
After a short stop at the huge and modern {Plaza San Lucas Mall} for supplies and lunch, we now begin our drive heading back north, along the Pacific Ocean.
The time has slipped away so quickly!
After just arriving and having traveled over 1000 miles, it’s time to start heading north again, in order to keep on our 28 day schedule.
One of the huge bonuses of choosing {Baja Amigo Tours}, is their long stay option. This is open to travelers wanting to stay on longer, at a destination of their choice, while on the Baja.
With advance notice, you can opt to stay at a place of your liking. You can then re-join one of their later Caravans that may be operating, joining up at a; pre-determined point.
We had just that happen in our group, with a few joining us and another couple in our group, choosing to stay on longer. They would then re-join a group coming home, at a later date in the season.
This is a great feature and definitely worth discussing with Dan & Lisa, prior to your departure!
It really would have been nice to spend some time exploring this area, but it’s pretty obvious, while driving through, that Cabo has certainly become the major tourist destination, in all of the Baja!
There are simply rows and rows of 5 star resorts lining the seaside and construction, still ongoing and in a big way. As a result and unfortunately, now leaving no room for campers any longer. 😞
Small Blanket Factory in Baja Mexico
After our grocery stop and lunch break, we begin heading north along the Pacific. First, making a brief stop at a quaint … Blanket Factory. A recommended stop by our experienced wagon masters, for those looking for; Quality Mexican blankets, table cloths and more.
The Pescadero Adventure
With unexpected information Dan & Lisa had just received and with matters, completely out of their control, our evening adventure began, as we arrived in Pescadero. We were without a place to camp for the evening.
After a short search and with Wagon Master Dan, having the experience and able to speak Spanish, we arrived at the local Pescadero ⚽ soccer field. (note the goal post in the photo above 🙂
Arrangements were made with 👮 local authorities to set up camp for the night, right on the field. It was like the 🎪 circus had arrived in town, with curious locals dropping by, for a peek at our rigs and to … just say hello.
Including Pescadero’s “🎪 Men in Blue” who promised to keep us … safe and secure throughout the evening. What more could you ask for! 🚓
We circled the wagons and enjoyed an eventful 🍻 happy hour!
As luck it, our Hosted Dinner for the night was just a few short blocks away. It was an easy stroll down the road, in this tiny town. This authentic and casual outdoor restaurant, made the best homemade 🍔 burgers and 🍟 fries, you would be hard pressed to find most anywhere.
A Great Local Outdoor Restaurant in Pescadero!
A great treat and experience to eat where the locals do, in the small town of Pescadero!
Now that’s a Burger!
We all had a nice day with an easy scenic drive, making a few shopping stops along the way.
Everyone enjoyed the Baja Amigos hosted dinner and the eventful and memorable night, camping out on the local soccer field. Quite entertaining listening to the local 🐕 dogs, serenade us throughout the evening!
Day 20 La Paz
The next morning, we were ready to make our easy drive back to La Paz. With only 53 miles/85 kilometers on this leg, it allowed lots of time to check out the town of; Todos Santos, along the way.
Located just a short distance from Pescadero, we arrived fairly early in the morning. Things were still nice and quiet, before the tour 🚍 buses started arriving, from Cabo.
Dating as far back as 1793, today Todos Santos is a quaint touristy town, on the foothills of the; Sierra de la Laguna Mountains.
Filled with; shops, galleries and restaurants, tour buses make their way from Cabo San Lucas, as a day time tour excursion. With a lovely town square and church in town, everyone leisurely made their way, down the side streets, checking out the many shops and making this a lunch stop, as well.
Then it was on to our familiar RV Park in {El Centenario} just outside of La Paz, to relax for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Of course, to grab a few more delicious home-made {Cinnamon Buns} at the Café!
Today is one of long travel days covering 201 miles/328 kilometers. We’re making our way up the middle of the Peninsula and then cutting back in, towards the; Gulf of California.
Our destination is a beautiful picturesque Bay and Marina, in Puerto Escondido.
As we are driving inland for most of the day, the scenery is mostly that of dry desert terrain. We make several pit stops for body breaks, lunch and ⛽ fuel top ups.
The historic town of Puerto Escondido is bordered by the beautiful; Sierra de la Giganta Mountain Range.
We arrive late afternoon, at this amazing ⛵ Marina in the middle of nowhere. It’s a multi–million dollar {Oasis} constructed a few years back and that while open, has never really been completed.
Such a shame to see a facility as this, not completely finished in construction, in full operation and operating successfully. It was one of those Mexican Government Mysteries you seem to come upon, far too often.
In fact, construction began with foreign investors and the Mexican Government in the 1980’s. The project was never completed, for reasons unknown.
Today, the marina is open to the public and boaters offering; lovely dock facilities, a storage and maintenance yard, marine fuel station, a restaurant, swimming pool, clean washroom and hot shower facilities and much more.
There are unfinished buildings, streets, canals and more that were to be housing developments. It was such a shame to see such a wonderful facility, not being utilized to its full potential.
Regardless, we were welcomed by staff and enjoyed dry camping in their open parking lot, with complete access to their washroom and shower facilities and the free wi-fi service. There was even a fully equipped modern laundry room, for us to use.
This was a perfect camp location after our long day of driving. We all enjoyed a nice relaxing evening getting together for {Happy Hour}, once again. Later that evening, taking in the … Spectacular Sunset!
All complete, with beautiful mountain and bay views.
Check Out My Short Video below on the amazing sunset we enjoyed that evening.
