About Baja California Adventure :
Baja California Adventure is based in La Paz, the charming capital of Baja CaliforniaSur. Since 1993 we dedicate to travel beyond the obvious attractions in the southern part of the peninsula. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive look at the history, culture and the pristine habitat of this extraordinary country, while enjoying the best comforts along the way. We travel from Guerrero Negro to Cabo San Lucas, providing escorted tours for a maximum of twenty two passengers, or drive yourself for individuals. We know Baja, we love the land, the people, the animals and the plants. We think of it as ours and we want to share it with our customers.
