Hurricane Relief

For seasoned Baja travelers and first timers alike, the tranquility of the desert combined with the magical Sea of Cortez is enough to be transported into a different realm. This year there is an added bonus: after a three-year, landscape-scorching drought, the skies opened up and torrential downpours soaked the desert repeatedly for two months.

The desert sprang to life, sprouting lush green vegetation, a multitude of brightly colored flowers, and seed-bearing fruits. The desert inhabitants are back also -- song birds, hummingbirds, foxes and coyotes are busy making up for the dry years. This is a perfect time to see Baja like you've never seen it before!

Warning: relaxation is imminent here and with this new state of being, you'll be able to enjoy some optional activities like kayaking, mule or horseback riding, hot spring soaking, whale watching and snorkeling. Can't get away until after the holidays? No worries! Hop on our Gold Coast Loop in January.
A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.
