Do we need Visas for Baja Norte - anyone want to go?
Also - I am thinking about heading down either early Friday/Saturday and returning either Monday or Tuesday PM to camp/fish between La Bufadora and San Quintin -probably Puerto Santo Tomas, since I know the area well. The only negative is I have spent very little time on the water outside of lobster in the last 9 months, so I maybe a little out of shape and not as much in the zone. I HAVE ROOM FOR A SECOND YAK AND ANGLER. Camping/cooking gear as well. So if you want to go ans split food/fuel or you and some friends want to caravan down there, I can even guide the PST reefs pretty well. Just let me know. |

i just got back from mex last week...u can get them at dana or at the boarder at one of the immigration offices. We did the immagration office route and it was easy, just need your passports and fill out a paper, they stamp it and your on your way. We did not have to pay anything for the visa and it took maybe 5 min. for 4 guys.
We where stopped (inspected) by the federallies, local police, and navy during our trip and they never once asked for the visa, only passports. Also during these encounters all the officials where very quick and courteous. I'm not sure why so many people r freaked out about driving thru baja....IMO things where much more sketchy down there in the late 90's-early 2000 when american tourism was booming. Wish i could go |

treat them nice and they'll do the same. I've driven down to San Quintin a few times solo and never had any issues with the federales or police. p.s. they like cold drink and fruits

passport card works for international travel by land or sea. if you travel by air you need a passport book. here is a link to fill it out online. http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
you can turn them in at most post office's. I just went through all this for a 5day trip. fyi it takes 4-6 week's and cost about $60. you can get them faster but it cost more. |

Thanks
Thanks - i guess I will stop on the way down to p/u the Visas to play it safe. I agree about it being better than years before, when it was a 50/50 chance that the police or federales would harass you. Now they are truly more concerned if you are running guns or drugs than just trying to pressure you to "donate" $50 for their needy families. If any of you hear any reports from the area, I would love to know since I have been out of the loop since the end of last summer. - greenscales
