Baja Explorer

Hurricane Henriette roared toward farming states in mainland Mexico on Wednesday, threatening heavy rain and winds for large corn and tomato crops after pummeling the Pacific beach resort of Los Cabos. Henriette, a relatively weak Category 1 storm that killed seven people including a foreign tourist on its route up the Pacific coast, swept into the Gulf of California with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph. Large waves were expected to batter the coastal states of Sonora and Sinaloa, where a storm last year ripped through the tomato crop, pushing up prices blamed for a brief inflation spike. The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned of coastal surges of up to 5 feet and isolated downpours of up to 12 inches in mountainous areas. "No significant change in strength is expected until landfall. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, Baja Explorer is a little "lacking" in regards to fast progress…. we are just too busy at the moment with all the new Baja Infotheque Network developments. Until the middle of September we will only have occasional posts here.  What we need daily is food  because even in the beautiful Baja Sur we get hungry. Speaking of which, we explored and discovered - after all we are Bajaexplorer's -a great place for a casual dining experience in La Paz. "They" are bandidos but hey, no crime there!! "Bandido's Grill" in La Paz is the best BBQ hamburger joint we've found so far in the Baja. Check the place out when you visit the greater La Paz area. Chembe, the owner speaks excellent english and the service is outstanding. Visit the Bandido's Webpage, go there and have a feast!! All thumbs up in our opinion here at Infotheque Network.

The Baja California peninsula extends 1,100 km from the U.S. border to the southern tip. Its widest point is approx. 230 km. Most of it is separated from mainland Mexico by the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California). It has a long, varied coastline on both sides.The Baja features four major mountain ranges: Sierra Juarez, Sierra de San Pedro Martir, Sierra de la Giganta, Sierra de la Laguna, and many minor ranges. Much of Baja California is desert or mountains. In the north we have the border cities of Tijauana, Tecate, and Mexicali. These border cities offer a wide variety of shopping opportunities and are therefore often frequented by day visitors from the USA. The southern half of the Baja Peninsula has the capital of La Paz, which many people believe is the most "Mexican" of the Baja cities. Other larger communities in the southern Baja like Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo have a more resort-town feeling to them and are more driven by the developing tourism industry. Todos Santos and Loreto are on the rise in that matter and are being developed to suit the need of tourists mainly from north of the border. Yet Europeans are discovering more of the Baja California and the many options for recreational activities it has to offer. Eco tourism, scuba diving, sport fishing are some of the "classic" options the Baja has to offer. Yet, over the course of the past few years golfing, in connection with upmarket developments in Los Cabos and La Paz, is becoming also a reason for many visitors.
