Tropical Storm Lidia batters the Baja Peninsula

Tropical storm Lidia struck Los Cabos and now as advanced up the Baja California peninsula. Reports of full dry river beds washing our roads and bridges including Hwy 1, flooding in southern Baja Sur soon to be followed north to Mulege and Santa Rosalia most likely.

Here's some photos and videos from around the internet. We'll try to keep updating this page.

The Endangered Vaquita Porpoise in the Sea of Cortez

Image
Updated 7/7/17 Vaquita mother & calf. Artist: Raziel Levi Mendez Moreno The seldom-seen Vaquita is a small porpoise (similar to a dolphin) that lives only in the northern reaches of the Gulf of California between the states of Baja California and Sonora below the Colorado River delta. Unfortunately, a rare Sea of Cortez fish called the Totuava swims in that same region. The Chinese value the bladder of Totuava in the thousands of dollars making fishing very profitable for the fisherman of the area. The problem is it's illegal to catch Totuava so it's done clandestinely. The same nets used to illegally catch this fish are killing off the Vaquita as a by-product. The Mexican government has banned gill nets in the northern region of the Gulf of California. The Mexican Navy is now patrolling the region plus other organizations such as Sea Shepard have stepped in as a last ditch effort to save the mari...

Buying Auto Insurance for Baja & Mexico

Image
Below, please find a brief description on Mexican auto insurance for those planning on driving into Baja California or mainland Mexico. Why Buy Mexican Auto Insurance? Insurance from a Mexican company is required by Mexican law in the event of an accident, even if you are not at fault. A Mexican Insurance policy greatly reduces the chances that you will face jail time, and limits the financial burden you might come by after an accident. A Mexican Insurance policy provides coverage for damage to your vehicle or its total loss. Under Mexican law, motorists are required to have insurance, or "proof of financial responsibility", in the event of an accident, even if you did not cause it. As a foreigner traveling in Mexico, the only way of demonstrating this financial responsibility is to have sufficient real currency to cover damages, or an insurance policy from a Mexican company. U.S. or any other non-Mexican insurance does n...
