A Vanlife Guide to BAJA CALIFORNIA MEXICO - Baja Travel Tips

We share our tips to traveling in Baja Mexico to help prepare you for everything you need to know Before Traveling to Baja. 10 tips to have a great trip to Baja California, Mexico. Camping life south of the border is such an amazing experience and we hope to help prepare to travel on the Baja peninsula.
Hopefully, this video was helpful in planning and preparing for your trip south of the border.
January 2022 we crossed the border with a caravan for the first time and traveled over 1,000 kilometers down the Baja Peninsula from Mexicali in the north to Cabo San Lucas in the South.
Baja Mexico has vast and diverse landscape of deserts, sand dunes, mountains, and canyons sandwiched between beautiful beaches along the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Sea of Cortez to the east.

    I am planning a trip to Mexico next year with my family of four in my home built sprinter and have been devouring many of these van life videos. This has been one of my favorites so far. While I enjoy watching the beautiful young KZreadrs in their swimwear galavanting on the beaches of Mexico it was nice to get one video so chocked full of useful information. Thanks so much.

    Hello. Just realize to watch and see them fill up your tank and se what amount it adds up to as they can press a button and it jumps to a higher amount as this happened to me in Bacalar . Great informative video . Safe travels

    One food item that is 3 to 4 times more expensive is mixed nuts. We also had a hard time finding margarita mix in local stores. We also had water concerns upfront but purified water is everywhere.

    Agreed about the nuts. We loved making margarita from scratch. And fell in love with the canned Paloma drink NewMex. :)

    great info here - I'm planning a trip to Baja next month. Would you recommend the Mexicalli crossing? Also - my solar setup/orientation, "rack" and rack system is identical to yours (plus one panel).

    We feel Mexicali is easier especially for getting a FMM. Here is a short about crossing in Mexicali and where the FMM office is. What Happens When You Cross the Border Into Mexico? kzread.infoK4BlrIk9lak we are talking about adding one more panel to our rack. :) have a great trip.

    You two are brave brave souls. I would not go anywhere near Mexico. Those drug cartels can appear from anywhere and kidnap you.

    You joined YT a month ago and this is what you comment? I can only assume you live in the States. I'm more worried about getting shot by some lunatic in the States than getting kidnapped in Baja by these mythical boogeymen...
