The name “Salsipuedes” hints at the challenging terrain, yet offers an unforgettable adventure. Known for its scenic routes with panoramic ocean views, it’s a haven for campers seeking starry nights away from the city’s chaos. Salsipuedes has also become a favorite for experienced surfers, drawn by its consistent, challenging waves, providing an authentic and exciting surf experience far from crowded beaches.
Establish your camp near the Ensenada Scenic Highway, a route known for its stunning ocean views and dramatic coastal cliffs. The coastal climate can be cool and breezy, so bring appropriate gear, including windbreakers and warm layers. You can camp either right on the beach or on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, both providing stunning views. It’s also a great spot for picnicking & sightseeing.

San Quintín is a coastal town located south of Ensenada in Baja California, known for its wet fields, volcanic landscapes, sand dunes and pristine beaches. Popular activities include exploring the nearby volcanic craters, visiting sandy beaches and enjoying fresh seafood, especially oysters. Besides hiking and beach days, you will be able to explore the wet lands in kayak.
What to do:
Visiting one of the oyster farms you’ll learn about the oyster farming process, enjoy fresh tastings, and gain insight into the importance of this activity for the local economy.
Head to one of the nearby volcanoes (maybe Sudoeste) for a hike (sunrise or sunset for better view). And get ready for spectacular views of the “humedales” from the summit. Don’t forget to bring plenty of water and sun protection.
Camp in one of the protected areas of Terra Peninsular. These reserves are carefully managed to conserve local biodiversity, allowing you to connect with nature in an almost untouched environment. Be sure to follow “leave no trace” practices to minimize your impact on the area.
San Pedro Mártir offers an adventure unlike any other in Baja California, setting itself apart from the region’s famous beaches with its towering mountains and dense forests. This remote, peaceful area is perfect for hiking, stargazing, and immersing in nature. Known for its clear skies, it houses one of Mexico’s most important observatories. Ideal for those seeking solitude and a deep connection with the wilderness, San Pedro Mártir provides an off-the-beaten-path experience that contrasts with the typical coastal landscapes, offering a rugged mountain escape instead.
In San Pedro Mártir, camping options include:
Visit One of the Most Prestigious Vineyards in the Valle de Guadalupe: Los Viñedos de Santo Tomás. Explore the vineyards, hike the trails arround the vineyards by foot or in an e-bike, enjoy winetasting (choose the package that fits your needs best), even make your own wine!
There are designated camping spots in the vineyard to spend the night and hit the road the next day.
What to do:
Hike the wine trails & wine tasting experiences. *Send us an email to [email protected] for more detail on this area.
