Adobe Guadalupe in the Valle de Guadalupe

One of our favorite places to visit in Baja's wine country is the Adobe Guadalupe Inn & Winery. Owner Tru Miller is a wonderful host and the grounds have a romantic beauty (not to mention the wine which is fantastic). Here's a couple photos from a recent visit for your inspiration.

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 marine mammal from extinction. They believe there are less than 60 lef

Visit Mexicali's La Chinesca

Image
Story & photos by Ted Donovan Did you know Mexicali has the largest Chinatown in Mexico? It's true and you can visit the area. A group called La Chinesca is preserving the Chinese area of Mexicali and the traditions of those immigrants who came from China. The Chinese traveled to the hot, barren deserts of Mexicali, Baja California's capital, around 1900 to work on the railroads and irrigation canals being built on both sides of the border. After the construction was completed, many stayed and became merchants who opened up bars, restaurants, shops in the area now called La Chinesca next to the US/Mexico border. Mexicali's history can not be written with out the contribution of the Chinese immigrants. Underneath their shops and businesses, the industrious Chinese built elaborate basements, tunnels and pathways to both escape the extreme heat of the summers (as high as 120F) and to live/work unmolested from the local community. Unfortunately, over the decades many

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
