DISCOVER THE UNKNOWN
BAJA PENINSULA
As the wheels of progress revolve at a maddening pace in Mexico City,
churning
out the data advising the feasibility of the locations for the newest
resort
areas, such as Cancun, Ixtapa, Huatulco, etc.; the last information to
appear
on the computer screens has been the Baja Peninsula, particularly the
State of
Baja California, the northern half of the peninsula.
Out of the obscurity that has surrounded the
entire peninsula for so many years...a booming, thriving megalopolis
now exists in the farthest northwest corner of the Republic of Mexico,
Tijuana, and its closely interwoven friendly relationship with the equally booming city
of San Diego, California. They have formed a union which is the envy of many
major cities both in the United States and in Mexico, or in the world, for that matter!
The 200 mile border that separates the State of Baja California,
Mexico,
from the largest traveling population of the United States in the area
of Southern California, allows for a foreign vacation within a
three-hour drive from Los Angeles or a 16-mile drive from downtown San
Diego.
GENERAL TOURIST INFORMATION FOR TRAVEL TO THE BAJA PENINSULA IN THE

obtained for the length of your stay. You are traveling to a foreign
