Join us for an extraordinary adventure, where we’ll traverse fun dirt roads, savor delectable food, and adopt an even more relaxed pace. The Slow Baja Summer Expedition offers a unique twist. We’ll spend two nights at each location, allowing for a deeper immersion in our surroundings and more time to explore beyond the vehicle.
Open to vehicles of ANY AGE, the Slow Baja Summer Expedition is your inclusive gateway to the beauty of Baja without putting your rig at risk. Our non-competitive, leisurely driving Adventure kicks off at the picturesque, off-the-grid Rancho La Bellota in Tecate. Our gracious host, Raul, will treat us to ranch-raised lamb roasted on a spit, followed by a magical evening around the campfire. We’ll spend two nights at the ranch, partaking in all its activities, from horseback riding to clay-target shooting and some poolside relaxation.
Community, camaraderie, and relaxed travel are the key ingredients that make the Slow Baja unique. Ideally suited for 4x4s or adventurous 2wds with good all-terrain tires and some ground clearance, the Slow Baja Summer Expedition is your ticket to a bucket-list adventure.
Our six-day slow travel experience will exhaust and excite you and hopefully spark your interest in returning to explore the hidden beauty of Baja. With two-night stays and coastal and high-elevation tracks, we’ll be super cool and extra slow on this one.
Nuts and bolts: What to expect? Four to six hours of driving on travel days. Time estimate excludes breakdowns, tire changes, airing up and down, taco binges, dog petting, ice cream stops, spontaneous swims, and silt bed extractions. You will need Mexican driving insurance. We strongly recommend Baja Bound Insurance. We require all participants to purchase Travel Insurance with medical extraction coverage. Check out World Nomads.
Your entry includes pre-run routes, three meals daily, private campsites, and hotel lodging on the last night. It does not include fuel, repairs, towing, or anything else to fix your vehicle in Baja. We will enjoy a group “happy hour” each night, but you’ll want to keep your cooler stocked and bring your favorite campfire elixir and coffee-making setup. On the Slow Baja, sharing is caring, so please plan accordingly. Want to rent a 4x4? Need camping gear? Have questions about your vehicle or road conditions? Hit the contact button below.
