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.
