BAJA WINTERS Story and Photo by Greg & Janis Ricker
Our company, Baja Winters Travel Club, has been guiding travelers to Baja for over 20 years. In those 20 years we have seen many changes in
Baja.....most of them good. The downside is that there are not as many RV parks in Baja due to the real estate boom making the cost of land on or near the beach too valuable for just an RV park or campground and that the news media has made travel to Baja and mainland Mexico out to be very dangerous.

The ‘good’ things are; the states of Baja and Baja Sur are very conscious of the tourist and their needs while traveling in Baja consequently there is a very ‘tourist friendly’ attitude in all of Baja. The road, Highway 1, has been greatly improved, new surface, new bridges, widened in many places.
In regards to the safety of travel in Baja....we feel it is safe. The same precautions should be taken while traveling in Baja as you would take traveling anywhere in the world.... including the U.S.A and Canada.
Our company is a family run business, we are the owners and Wagon Masters. We have been traveling in Baja as a family for over 40 years. We own property in Baja and consider it our 2nd home.
The following is testimonial from one of our clients...

“We were fortunate to find an escorted caravan service exactly suiting our needs. John and Becky Smith operate Baja Winters with a simple business proposition - they get you down and back safely, assuring a safe place to camp every night, providing great places to eat along the way, and keeping your tanks topped off with fuel. No hidden extras,.... just a nice, leisurely trip down the peninsula with not more than two dozen other RVs. We met up with our group of terrified tourists at the Chula Vista KOA just south of San Diego at the end of January. John and Becky explained the routine to the assembled group, patiently answered all of our paranoid questions, and the next morning we were on our way across the border, heading south to our new adventure....
“By the third day we were wondering
what exactly we’d been worried about. No banditos, plenty of beautiful scenery and a well-planned itinerary made for a leisurely trip down Baja. John and Becky had broken the caravan into 3 groups of 8, making it easier to get in and out of rest stops and gas stations. Each group stayed about half an hour apart as we worked our way south, meeting up each night at the designated campground. Traveling in smaller groups also made it easier for other travelers heading south, as passing a stretch of eight lumbering motorhomes was less challenging than 24....
“on day 4, as we crossed the spine of Baja from the west to east, we passed the oasis at San Ignacio and then we saw the Sea of Cortez at Santa Rosalia, and we were smitten. We stayed overnight at a beach called Playa Santispac, about 10 miles south of Mulege. Beautiful beaches, exquisite scenery, protected waters, a fabulous restaurant with delicious coconut shrimp... we were ready to just stay here for the winter. But we had a reservation awaiting us in Cabo, so we made a mental note to come back and spend more time here on our way back north.
“Once we’d seen the Sea of Cortez and felt the warm night air, we realized that we couldn’t go wrong no matter where we ended up in Baja.”
Please do not let the media stop you from visiting the amazing land south of our borders which is Baja.
