Mexico Madness Tour - 7 days [South to North]

Day 1: Cabo San Lucas to La Paz (135 miles)

If we came south via Highway 1 and the east cape area, we'll ride north via Highway 19 on the Pacific side. There are several excellent surfing beaches in the area between Cabo San Lucas and our lunch stop in Todos Los Santos. The desert is thick with different varieties of cactus as we find our way to the beautiful city of La Paz.

Day 2: La Paz to Loreto (230 miles)

North out of La Paz, we'll traverse rugged desert on our way to the agricultural region around Ciudad Constitución. Agriculture in this dry area is only possible because of a huge underground aquifer. From here, the road turns east and takes us across the Sierra de la Giganta mountains to the Sea of Cortez and our destination in the historic city of Loreto.

Day 3: Loreto to Mulege (90 miles)

This is a short day which will allow plenty of time to enjoy the scenery along Bahia Conception. The small town of Mulege is just inland from the Sea of Cortez, along the Mulege River in the midst of a palm forest. The town has narrow streets with small shops and stores and plenty of history.

Day 4: Mulege to Guerrero Negro (180 miles)

We'll continue north along the Sea of Cortez to the mining town of Santa Rosalía before turning west. After lunch in San Ignacio, we'll continue northwest to our destination of Guerrero Negro on the Pacific side, well known for its huge salt-producing evaporation ponds.

Day 5: Guerrero Negro to El Rosario (225 miles)

We'll ride north from the coastal flat-land into the mountains of the central desert. After lunch in Cataviña, we'll continue back towards the Pacific and our destination of El Rosario, a well-known pit stop on virtually all of the Baja 1000 off-road races.

Day 6: El Rosario to Ensenada (160 miles)

We'll follow the Pacific going north through small farming communities, then turn inland and ride through scenic inland valleys. After a stop in the Santo Tomas Valley wine region, we'll find our way into Ensenada. This seaport town has all the services and night-life of a big city, while retaining its small town atmosphere.

Day 7: Sunday. Ensenada to San Diego (125 miles)

We'll take the inland route from Ensenada to Tecate, riding through the Guadalupe Valley, the largest wine producing region in Mexico. We'll cross the border near Tecate and finish our ride on beautiful highway 94 into San Diego. At our farewell dinner, we can re-live our adventure before saying "adios" to new friends.
