Bahia Conception

(DAY005 : Guerrero Negro - Bahia Conception : 210 miles)

I left town and headed to San Ignacio. A true oasis standing out in the middle of a cactus desert, it's a very small town with a lot of character. It was only noon, so I had lunch, and moved on to Mulege.

You take a turn on this road...

and find yourself here!

What's better than the Mission is...

the view from it.

Not sure what I expected to find when I left Mulege so late. But what I found was spectacular. A series of coves, that seem like the children of a marriage between the Carribean and the Aegean. I picked the most secluded, and before I could setup my tent, it was already dark. The weather is much warmer on this coast. Sound of tiny waves simply faded out, and temprature in my tent never dropped below 15.5°C.







I wish I could tell you that I slept like a baby. I didn't. Still, I wouldn't prefer to be anywhere else. This place simply is beautiful. And so is the vibe of waking up in a campsite and getting to meet your neighbors, even if for only one night. It's just priceless, and costs nothing. Viva Mexico, for not selling these places to the highest bidder.
