We’re planning to explore the entire Baja peninsula at a leisurely pace, enjoying beautiful beaches, ancient missions and the welcoming Baja culture. This adventure will include six meals, atleast two adventure tours, a guided tour of San Javier Mission and the possibility of swimming with whale sharks. We will visit interesting cities and stay multiple nights to ensure we enjoy what makes them special. During the trip we will travel over 3500 miles, enjoying beautiful Baja scenery. The caravan will be limited to eight RVs. Keeping the group size small, we do not overwhelm the local services and campgrounds, and make for a more intimate group.
