Don't go without it

My wife and I traveled the peninsula for two months in a VW Bus with this as our sole reference book. This literally guided us to the best travel adventures ever. Walt didn't miss a thing from road signs, to camping spots, to customs, and to inside local knowledge. Don't miss the "way-off-the-beaten-path" trip to Gardener Cave. Buy it early, and read the whole thing just to get fired up for your trip.

An extensive map-filled guide to seldom visited Baja sites

For many veteran Baja travelers, this is the best of the best. Walt Peterson uses his extensive knowledge to present a book loaded with not only detailed information about the peninsula, but also detailed down-to-the-kilometer instructions on how to reach little-known sites, as well as the better known ones. Highway,off-road; you name it and it's in this book. On my frequent trips down the peninsula, Walt Peterson's BAJA ADVENTURE BOOK is on the seat beside me, dog-eared and written in from constant use.

This is the book to buy

In the last 25 years I've made about 50 trips to Baja so I think I know a little bit about the place. After reading The Baja Adventure Book I realised how little I do know about Baja- this book has lots of great information for the newcomer to Baja or for the seasoned traveler and is my first recommendation for a book on Baja. My second recommendation would be to pick up a copy of The Baja Catch by Kelly and Kira.

We've traveled Baja for many years (30+ myself) and were given The Baja Adventure Book as a Christmas gift about five years ago. It has been an invaluable tool for exploring new areas and informing us on places we've already been. It's very detailed information has been a joy to have along. It's well written and easy to follow. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!
