Baja California Sur, Mexico Travel Guide eBook

The best of Baja California Sur isn't online.

Half the places worth staying aren't on booking sites. Opening hours are a suggestion. The beach at the end of the dusty track doesn't have a review, and the boat trip you actually want is a WhatsApp number somebody gave you. Planning a Baja trip means zooming in and out of Google Maps for hours and accepting that you'll work most of it out once you get there.

I've spent months doing exactly that, and I've put everything I learned in this guide.

Baja California Sur is not only my favourite place in Mexico, but the entire world. The rugged beauty and blissful remoteness, the dusty tracks leading to pristine empty beaches, the oceans full of whales and marine life and the desert landscape with mountains practically falling into the sea - there is a special magic here. And there is SO much more to it than just Los Cabos!

But Baja can be intimidating if you've never been. It feels a bit like a secret you've been left out of, and most visitors fall into one of two camps: resort-goers in Cabo, or repeat visitors with an RV or a second home who return every winter.

I wrote this guide for everyone. You don't need years of history on the peninsula, and you don't need to stay inside your resort. Whatever your budget, your travel style or your appetite for adventure, this will help you go a lot deeper into Baja, and spend a lot less time researching.

Designed to be your go-to, quick reference guide in the planning stages, and once you arrive in Baja Sur. Open the guide on your computer, tablet or phone, and have all of my tips right in front of you! You can be confident that you won't miss any of the highlights, will be eating the tastiest fish tacos, enjoying the best beaches and hiking gorgeous trails - without hours of research required.

With 140 beautifully designed pages, this eBook covers all five municipalities of Baja California Sur and 22 destinations - from the resort cities of Los Cabos to the blissful beaches and marine life of the Sea of Cortez, the Pacific surf towns, the desert oasis villages of Comondu, and the grey whale lagoons of the far north. Most guides skip half the state - this one covers it all.

This Baja California Sur Travel Guide has two parts, with an easy-to-navigate, clickable table of contents:

🗓️ Part 1: Planning Your Trip

Everything you need to work out before you book a thing:

• When to visit - a season-by-season breakdown, plus a calendar of when and where to see whales and other marine life
• Getting there - the three airports, the ferry from mainland Mexico, and driving down from the US border
• Getting around - why you really should rent a car, whether you need a 4x4, my tips for driving in Baja, and your options if you'd rather not drive at all
• Planning your time - why less is more, a map of the five municipalities with the distances between them, questions to ask yourself before you build a route, and ready-made one week, two week and full-state itineraries

📍 Part 2: Destinations

22 destinations across all five municipalities, each with:

• Quick logistics - how long to spend, nearest airport and whether you really need a car
• Top things to do - beaches, trails, tours, museums and more!
• Accommodation picks for every budget - budget, mid-range and high-end with links to book (yes, that includes WhatsApp numbers!)
• My favourite places to eat - usually tacos (because tacos!), plus a cafe, bar and sweet treat pick

🎒 BONUS: Mexico Travel Survival Guide

Included free with your purchase. 55 pages of the practical Mexico stuff that applies wherever you land: cash and ATMs, phones and SIM cards, tipping, staying safe, and the Spanish you'll actually use. Read it once before you leave and you'll arrive feeling far more confident.
