Baja California
Just south of San Diego, CA travelers can discover México’s “Napa Valley,” enjoy Pacific surfing, soak up its warm desert tranquility, and hike in its fresh-scented pine forests.
In the state of Baja California, exciting outdoor activities await the adventurous as well as those seeking a relaxing respite from their daily lives.
As the world’s 2nd longest peninsula (746 miles/1200 km), a rugged and scenic road trip on Hwy 1 can be an exciting experience to remember. This highway crisscrosses the peninsula from the US/México border all the way down through the states of Baja California and Baja California Sur to the tip where the resort city of Cabo San Lucas is located.
