Pros: A different experience Cons: Seeing all the poverty
Review Topic: Events & Festivals
Ensenada was our only stop in Mexico/Baja California on our Carnival Cruise on the ship Holiday. Looking out from the deck of the ship, it seemed like a place I wanted to get to know. I had...
Pros: Reach out and touch nature's most wonderous creatures Cons: None
Elephants may be huge animals, but they're mere midgets next to a whale -- some of which are bigger than your house! Seeing these animals in their natural habitat is easy during the winter migration season. Take a whale watching cruise and see some of ...
Pros: Unique shopping experience, beautiful country! Cons: Crooked law enforcement, se habla español
One of my earliest remembrances of Baja California was when I was 15 years old. I had just quit waitressing at a restaurant in Southern California. The boss wanted to take his wife and child down to Baja and asked if some of his young employees would...
Pros: Glorious country Cons: Not your average tourist destination - hardly a con
Review Topic: Overview
South we drove, from Fresno through the great San Jaoquin Valley, through the gorgeous Tahachapi Mountain Range, into the Angeles National Forest, through the Santa Clarita Valley, past the incredible...
Pros: a lot to do, especially shop; pretty city; inexpensive Cons: People walking up to you on the street trying to sell you things

Pros: An enjoyable one day visit. Cons: One day is enough!
Both Royal Caribbean and Carnival have three and four night cruises that depart out of Los Angeles along with a few other cruise lines with longer itineraries, that call on Ensenada, Mexico on a regular basis. Ensenada is about a hundred miles south ...
Pros: Loved the horseback riding Cons: Didn't get to really enjoy the city much

Pros: Unique atmosphere, fun, pretty girls Cons: Cities are few and far between, displays the worst of the two cultures
I have only visited the very northern tip of Baja.(from Tijuana to Ensenada) so don't expect a complete travel guide through the state. I have seen very little of Baja Norte, but I can tell you the impression that it left on me, and how it compares with...
Pros: A million things to do! Cons: You can get taken if your not careful.
As a southern California surfer I have had many an occasion to visit our "hospitable" neighbor to the south. The border is a short 50 minute drive from where I live. A short distance to travel for the uncrowded lineups the Baja breaks offer. What never...
Pros: The finest scuba diving value I've found, bar none. (1000+ dives on 6 continents)
Cons: Difficult to fly into, limited number of dive operators, rental equipment needs update
It is with great hesitation that I grudgingly share my favorite dive site on earth. I do so for one reason; by and large most divers help protect the environment and consequently I believe that knowledge of its existence will ultimately lead to ...
Pros: Fairly easy drive on toll road from Tijuana/San Diego border. Cons: Overpriced hotel & restaurant far from downtown. Not enough to do. Gastrointestinal problems AGAIN.
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and although the winters here are relatively mild, Milton and I try to go south for a week or so mid-winter each year for a warmer climate. In recent years we have gone to Key West, San Diego, and Palm Springs. On ...
Pros: Good big-game fishing. Cons: TOO AMERICANIZED!!!
Well...this is definitely further south than La Paz. Driving south from La Pas you can go either Highway 1 or Highway 19...they both go to the same place and return to the same place they started. It's like a circle...one to the west coast, and one to ...
I would like to tell you about a trip I took to Baja California Mexico. I go there at least once a year with a church group from New hope From Portland Oregon. We go down their to help on an orphanage filled. But I would like to tell you about the...
Pros: Incredible beautiful...unspoiled Cons: A long hard road to get there.
The road from El Rosario to the turnoff for Bahia de Los Angeles will be one of the most destitute roads that you will probably ever travel. It is close to 150 miles of "nothingness". There will be a few Ejido's along the way. Also a few campos...
Pros: Shopping, food and people. Cons: It's a busy little city.
After crossing the border at Tijuana and driving south through some delightful small towns you will come into Ensenada. You may think that you have taken a wrong turn and somehow are not in Baja anymore.
