When you say Baja California, I think most people are instantly going to think “Off-roading and military car inspections…” Well, yes, that’s totally possible and I’m sure you’ll come across that, but we’ve had some pretty incredible local road trips, both in Northern Baja and Baja California Sur. The Baja is one of our favorite Mexican destinations!
Doing a Northern Baja road trip is a really fun and interesting option for either family travel or adventurous adults. A drive through Northern Baja is all about the rugged coast and beautiful valleys, and if you continue south, a Baja California Sur road trip gives you picturesque towns and amazing snorkeling experiences.
Planning a Northern Baja Road Trip
This road trip plan takes you from Tijuana to Bahia de Los Angeles. It includes wine country, lots of great food and beach time, and whale watching. A less touristy experience than the south, you’ll need to speak and understand Spanish better than you might expect. English is not widely spoken, so exercise your language skills and patience as you explore.
