Driving in Baja What YOU NEED TO KNOW | Baja California Mexico

We share our experience of driving the entire peninsula in Baja Mexico to help prepare you if you plan on taking a trip south across the border into Baja California to Baja Sur.

Camping life south of the border is such an amazing experience and we hope to help prepare to travel on the Baja peninsula.

Hopefully this video was helpful in planning and preparing for your trip south of the border.

January 2022 we crossed the border with a caravan for the first time and traveled over 1,000 kilometers down the Baja Peninsula from Mexicali in the north to Cabo San Lucas in the South.

Baja Mexico has vast and diverse landscape including deserts, sand dunes, mountains, and canyons sandwiched between beautiful beaches along the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Sea of Cortez to the east.

Good info. Planning to take the family, without our RV, all the way down to Cabo in December. Any suggestions? I'm mostly worried about getting my truck jacked. I've put a lot into it. Any special reason for the masks, or just the new normal thing?

Thank you for making this video! Driving in Baja is something I'm sure I will have to get used to but I'm ready for a new adventure ☺️

The left turn signal thing is nuts. In Africa we would use the curb side indicator to signal it’s okay to pass, which makes more sense because they could also be turning that way.

Do know if you need to get any special documentation when you go form TJ all the way down to La Paz?
