By Jenni Reichert Baja Baby Gear If you've never been to Los Cabos before, it's hard to decide on where to go, what to do or which restaurants to try. More recently, Los Cabos is trending as one of the top gastronomical destinations in Mexico because of its amazing farm-to-table food dining concepts, huge variety in dining options and a dedication to community farming sustainability. So, if you're on a short trip to Los Cabos, here is a deep dive into one very full day. We'll go through an one-day itinerary of where to go, where to eat and what to do. If you have a little more than one day to spare, you could spread this itinerary out over two days. The wonderful thing about a short visit to Los Cabos is - it's a small place, therefore you can cover a significant amount of ground in a short space of time. Both two main towns of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas can easily be explored in one day alone. 23 miles of stunning coastline separate the two ...

From our friend Jonathan Roldan La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of July 14-21, 2019 It’s finally feeling more like summer-time with both the weather (hot); the waters (warmer and bluer) and the fishing (almost there!).  We still had some flurries of crazy winds, but overall, it’s seemingly more typical overall.  It’s just that it seems like this fishing season, it’s taking it’s sweet time getting up to speed. Dorado AND pargo?  One is decidedly a warm water fish.  The latter is a cold water fish! And catching them the same day?  Sometimes in the same spot?  Crazy! Surely, the dorado are the best indication since these are the hallmark of our warmer months.  We’ve had them on-and-off with out La Paz fishing fleets, but strangely, it’s not been quite so good with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet until about a week or so ago when the dorado seemed to have finally got into the game. Th...

El Rosario, Baja California Story & photos from Ted Donovan   Antonio Munoz in central Baja California is really doing great work between El Rosario and Guerrero Negro with The Desert Hawks (Halcones del Desierto).  Myself, Antonio & driver Michael Emery While on the Baja XL race in late January we were lucky enough to catch Antonio at his Pemex station. I was not only happy to see an old friend but to also get an update on what he is doing with the organization. On top of that we introduced him to the organizers of the race who may want to sponsor the Desert Hawks in 2021. There literally are no emergency services between San Quintin and Guerrero Negro - a 225 mile stretch that takes over 4 hours to drive at a minimum. No ambulances, hospitals or fire services. If you get in an accident you may be on your own no matter how serious. Your best hope if you have cel coverage (probably not), a satellite phone or a car comes by and assists you. This ...

Here's a quick update of the road conditions of Baja California Highway 5 from Laguna Chapala north to Puertecitos. The storms of Fall 2019 have done some major damage to the area but the locals always figure a way around obstacles. Remember, this is driving north from Laguna Chapala (at the Highway 1 intersection) to Coco's Corner then to Bahia San Luis Gonzaga and then one to Puertecitos (south of San Felipe). Some sections have rough washboard and rock slides. Others have highway and road ways missing, some marked some not, that you need to go around. And then there are a number of bridges out. Please use extreme caution when driving this section. It's doable but slow. Photos taken on February 3rd, 2019. Here is the stickered sign at the turn off of "Highway 5" The first couple hundred yards off of Highway 1 is paved, but that's fool's gold as the road is rough with washboard and rock slides to follow. Car-sized boulders have fa...

Written by Jenni Reichert Los Cabos is famous for its golf courses, fantastic nightlife and gourmet restaurants. But perhaps its most well-known for its phenomenal beaches. Cabo offers a plethora of beaches to choose from to suit everyone from avid water-babies to people looking for a quiet spot to read their favorite book. Here’s a look at some of the best beaches you can visit during your next vacation to Los Cabos. Playa Las Viudas - Photo courtesy of https://gonetripn.com/todos-santos/ Las Viudas Beach Perhaps less commonly known to travelers visiting Cabo San Lucas than others such as Medano Beach in the heart of Cabo, this beautifully rugged beach is a fun place to spend time climbing rocks and admiring the Sea of Cortez. Because of its stunning rock formations, Las Viudas beach is also a favorite for local photographers. Located just under 10 kilometers away from down-town Cabo San Lucas, Las Viudas is a beautiful beach waiting to be explored. Additionally, Las V...
