Edmundo, our Los Mochis host set us up with directions to drive around the Copper Canyon and some recommendations on places to visit. Our first destination was the small 17th century town of Alamos. The town is yet another Pueblo Magico and magical it is. Alamos was once the center of commerce for the silver [...]
After Luis’ seasickness adventure on the La Paz-Topolobampo ferry we stayed in the first hotel we could find, had a good night’s sleep and woke up to drive to Los Mochis. We were scheduled to meet Edmundo Fuentes in Los Mochis… but let’s take a few steps back and introduce Edmundo. Luis met Edmundo through [...]
With slight fear of being berated, I (Luis) must say I am not a big fan of ferries… there I said it. Most people seem to lay back and enjoy the ride, but I am usually seasick and fairly immobile throughout the ride. In order to leave Baja California and continue our trip through Mexico [...]
We are having some technical difficulties with this post, here it is but it will be a little more “polished” when we get to a fast and cheap internet source in a few days… Thank you. From La Paz we headed south to Todos Santos, which we had heard is a neat little town on [...]
The Bahia Concepcion is touted as having one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline on the Baja peninsula and this was part of the reason we wanted to get to Mulegé so bad. We stocked up on supplies in Mulegé and drove south in search of a good beach camping spot. We weren’t disappointed with the [...]
We love food (maybe Luis more than Lacey) and a great deal of this little experiment in travels is for us to experience the regional foods of all the places we visit. We make it a point to eat what the locals eat. We will, on occasion post recipes for any who want to try, [...]
When the sad time came to move on from San Juanico, we were evaluating which route we wanted to take out of town. There are a few different ways in and out of the area, with only one being easy (easy meaning: only a small amount of washboard). The only problem with this “easy” route [...]
We had heard about San Juanico- or some call it Scorpion Bay- from surfer friends back home. We were also ready for some Pacific coast beaches, so we decided to head that way. There is a small dirt road that goes into San Juanico from San Ignacio, via the Laguna San Ignacio, so we asked [...]
The wind was blowing so bad in San Francisquito, we decided to head out after one night. The plan was driving a dirt road out towards a place called El Arco, but there are many tracks going off the “main” dirt road, with no signs indicating which one was the road we wanted. In San [...]
