Baja Tours Mexico Excursions
Enjoying a trip to the Baja with family and friends is the best way to experience what Mexico has to offer. Here are some of our favourite excursions here at Baja Tours Mexico!
1850 Coroscos – Real Life Traditional Adobe Mountain Village
We have met a few locals that will show you how life was and largely still is in their little isolated oasis and combined towns of 350 people. Cobblestone streets and adobe homes are the norm and some are crumbling. You will meet Victor, you will visit his uncle and aunt at their ranch and you will meet his family, the neighbours and the local winemaker.
We and our clients love Coroscos on its own for its completely peaceful atmosphere in the mountains under the stars. Walking through the little sugar cane fields and the vineyard and stock corals and abandoned buildings and stone streets and jails, we translate a living history as Diego explains nature here and talks about his own life and family. He talks about the traditions and history of Coroscos and its daily 1850s life while he actually shows it to you.
$325 to $450 value. With Baja Tours Mexico it’s included free in your tour!

Lorenzo’s and Martina’s Ranch – Make Cheese, Tortillas and Quesadillas
“This is one of my favorite mornings everytime (Kevin). Up at six to go to the ranch. The fire has to be started in the dirt floor, palm roof kitchen, the coffee put on and the goats rounded up. You will spend the morning marvelling at these warm people with their genuine laughter, and their genuine love of life on their humble ranch. It is a privilege to be here with them. You will round up the goats, milk them, , make cheese, make tortillas by hand with Martina, make quesadillas over the open kitchen fire, learn about the care of the ranch animals and ask a million questions that Diego and Lorenzo and Martina and others will answer.” – Kevin

Cabo Pulmo – Fun on the Water
