South of the border between Baja California (Norte) and Baja California Sur, a variety of Mexican and gringo communities invite exploration.
This area begins with the saltworks town of Guerrero Negro [1], where travelers restock supplies, get on the Internet, and spend the night to wait for daylight driving hours.
Nearby, the Laguna Ojo de Liebre [2] draws a crowd for whale-watching tours. Beyond it, the protected Desierto de Vizcaíno [3] forms a large peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean.
Continuing south, the palm oasis of San Ignacio [4] is home to an historic Spanish mission and colonial village, as well as a launching point for more whale-watching on the Laguna San Ignacio [5].
Back on the Gulf coast, the river town of Mulegé [6] and white-sand beaches along Bahía Concepción [7] have become seasonal homes for American and Canadian snowbirds. And deep in the interior of the Sierra de San Francisco [8] and the Sierra de Guadalupe [9], more historic missions and mysterious rock art sites await.
