Baja Caifornia Highways

Located in the Northwest area of Mexico, and bath with the Pacific Ocean and the California Gulf The state of Baja Californa is a landscape of legends and contrasts. It has important festivals celebrated along the year, as the wine and Paella festival, The seafood and fish festival and the Tequila Festival. Along the highway routes you can find amazing sites, places to host the tourism from important resorts and hotels to RV parks and campgrounds. Is also worth mention that Baja California is the state that in winter also hosts the gray whale, an amazing thing to witness. Population: 2,500,000 Size: 27,608 square miles Borders: U.S., the Pacific Ocean, Sea of Cortez, and the states of Sonora and Baja California Sur Important cities/sites within the state: Bay of San Quintin, Ensenada, La Bufadora, Mexicali (capital), Tijuana Time zone: Pacific Standard Time

Baja’s stunning beaches are by far the state’s main attraction, and due to their proximity to California, quick weekend getaways are quite popular among California residents. Aside from relaxing at the beach, Baja also offers visitors several recreational options and tourist facilities, including scuba diving, sport fishing, whale-watching, bullfights, grey hound races, delightful restaurants with exquisite seafood, bars, discotheques and cabarets.

Tijuana is the gateway to several resorts along the border and the closest point to the renowned spa in the city of Tecate, the lunar landscape of la Rumorosa and the spectacular Sierra de Juarez. Tijuana is the first stopover across the border, although for those who like wine, will want to stop at Ensenada (70 miles from border). Past Ensenda, along state highway #1, its small towns, beaches, desert and cliffs, until reaching the city of La Paz.

While Tijuana is great, Mexicali (65 miles from Tiajuana on Toll Highway #2) is far more authenticly Mexican, being situated rich farming region. Take the scenic route traveling south down state highway #5 (67 miles) and cut across country state highway #3 (90 miles). Other stops to remember are Rosarito just south of Tijuana, and of course Reserva De La Biosfera El Vizcaino (One of the largest and best preserved deserts in Mexico).
