Okuqukethwe
Umbhali u-Meagan Drillinger uvakashele i-Baja izikhathi eziningi futhi wachitha inyanga eshayela yonke inhlonhlo.
I-Peninsula yaseBaja iyindawo engaphesheya kweMexico. Ngobuchwepheshe, yebo, i-Baja iyi-Mexico, kodwa kukhona okuthile mayelana nalesi siqephu sezwe esincane esihlukanisa i-Pacific Ocean noLwandle lwase-Cortez esizwakala sengathi siyindawo ehluke ngokuphelele.
Ngenkathi i-Baja iyikhaya lezindawo zokuvakasha ezinkulu njenge-Cabo San Lucas, i-San Jose del Cabo, i-Tijuana, i-Rosarito, ne-Ensenada, iphinde ibe indawo yasendle, ezungezile. Kuyizintaba eziphakeme, eziwugwadule, udedangendlale wamasimu ogwadule lwe-scrub brush kanye ne-saguaro cacti, imigwaqo ewubhuqu engayisa ndawo, amatheku namadolobhana okungafinyelelwa kuwo ngamanzi kuphela, kanye nenqwaba yezizinda ezifihlekile ezizungezwe ulwandle olunesihlabathi olungenalutho.
I-Baja ingaba yindlala. I-Baja ingaba eluhlaza. Kodwa muhle uBaja. Ikakhulukazi uma uthanda amabhishi, njengoba i-Baja inamanye amabhishi angcono kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ngihambe ngiyoshayela I-peninsula engamamayela angu-750 ubude ukusuka ekugcineni kuye ekugcineni - bese ubuyela emuva futhi. Lokhu ukushayela okungekona okwabantu ababuthakathaka, futhi namuhla ngizokutshela ukuthi indlela eyodwa yanele. Ngeke kuhlale kuhamba kahle, futhi kunezifundo okufanele sizifunde, kepha bekungenye yezenzakalo ezimangalisayo engake ngaba nazo eMexico, okusho okuthile. Futhi kuwukushayela engingeke ngingabaze ukukwenza futhi - ngokuhlela okufanele.
Ngakho-ke ukukusiza ohambweni lwakho lomgwaqo we-Baja, nanka amathiphu ami okushayela inhlonhlo ye-Baja usuka e-San Jose del Cabo uya e-Rosarito.
Ukuqasha Imoto eCabo
Ukuqasha imoto eMexico kungaba nzima. Ngikwenze izikhathi eziningi futhi lapho ngisebenza ne-franchise yamazwe ngamazwe, (ngokuvamile) ngishiywe ngiphoxekile, ingasaphathwa eyokushaqeka ngegobolondo enanini lemali efihliwe.
Okuhlangenwe nakho okuhle kakhulu kwemoto eqashiswayo engake ngaba nakho e-Mexico kwakuseSan Jose del Cabo I-Cactus Rent-A-Car. Izibuyekezo zenze kwabonakala kukuhle kakhulu ukuba yiqiniso, kodwa ngemuva kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami komuntu siqu nenkampani, ngingaqinisekisa ngakho konke ukubuyekezwa kwezinkanyezi ezinhlanu. Intengo ibisobala (futhi ilungile), bezingekho izimali ezifihliwe, futhi intengo ihlanganisa nomshwalense wesikweletu wenkampani yangaphandle, okungahlali kunjalo uma uqasha imoto noma yikuphi. Abasebenzi banobungane, bayaxoxisana, futhi bazokunikeza nokugitsheliswa ukuya esikhumulweni sezindiza uma kulapho udinga ukuya khona.
Saqasha i-sedan encane enezicabha ezine, eyayisebenza kahle kakhulu emigwaqweni eyitiyela. Kodwa njengoba ngifundile ngenkathi ngisendaweni, isimo sezulu asihlali sibambisana e-Baja, futhi ungase ufune ukuqasha okuthile nge-oomph eyengeziwe ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi awunazo izinkinga. An imoto edonsa wonke amasondo izophinde iqinisekise ukuthi uthola okuthe xaxa ngaphandle komgwaqo ukuze uzizwele izindawo eziphuma endleleni e-Baja ezenza i-peninsula ikhetheke kakhulu.
Ukushayela e-Baja: Ukuphepha
Kuphephe kakhulu ukushayela e-Baja. Okuyinhloko imigwaqo emikhulu inakekelwa kahle futhi yonke inhlonhlo has a kakhulu izinga eliphansi lobugebengu. Kodwa-ke, kuwumqondo omuhle ukugcina ukushayela kwakho ukuya phakathi nosuku, njengoba inhlonhlo inezindawo ezikude kakhulu, ezikude. Uma kwenzeka isimo esiphuthumayo, njengenkinga yemoto noma umgwaqo ogezekile, uzokujabulela ukushayela phakathi nosuku lapho izimoto eziningi zisemgwaqweni.

Futhi, khumbula ukuthi kunezigaba ezimbalwa zokushayela ezidlula ogwadule. Ungase ube nakho ngaphezulu kwamahora ayisithupha ngaphandle kokwamukela iseli. Njalo qiniseka ukuthi ugcwalisa ithangi lakho likaphethiloli noma nini lapho ubona igalaji likaphethiloli. Ungase ushayela amahora amaningi ngesikhathi endaweni ekude emaphakathi nenhlonhlo. Pakisha amanzi amaningi nokudla okulula, futhi wazise othile ngohlelo lwakho lohambo lwansuku zonke oluhlongozwayo.
Okokugcina, gwema ukwenza ukushayela ngo-Agasti noma ngo-September, okuyinkathi yesiphepho esiphezulu. Senzeke (kancane) sachithwa yiSiphepho uKay, esasika inhlonhlo futhi sabangela izikhukhula ezinkulu nomonakalo womgwaqo ngemva kwaso. Uma uzithola usesimweni esifanayo, Iqembu le-Facebook le-Talk Baja Road Conditions linezibuyekezo zesikhathi sangempela, engizithole ziphelele kakhulu futhi ziwusizo kunanoma iyiphi iwebhusayithi kahulumeni.
Emgwaqeni: eSan Jose del Cabo ukuya eLa Paz
Umbono wami wangempela bekuwukushayela uLwandle LwaseCortez futhi ngihlehle ngasohlangothini lwePacific Ocean. Ngokombono, kuwumqondo omuhle kodwa ekusebenzeni, akuyona into eqondile. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi, engxenyeni enkulu ye-Baja, unomgwaqo owodwa kuphela ogandayiwe nonakekelwa ongakhetha kuwo, onqamula inhlonhlo. Lokhu kushintsha lapho usondela ezindaweni ezinkulu zezivakashi, ngemigwaqo eminingana ongakhetha kuyo ku-V-out ngezindlela ezihlukile, kodwa njengoba ushona ujula ogwadule, usendleleni eyodwa.
Unalokho engqondweni, umlenze wokuqala wawusuka eSan Jose del Cabo uya eLa Paz. Lo mgwaqo omuhle uholela kude namabhishi nezindawo zokungcebeleka ezihlanganisa konke futhi ukhuphukele ezintabeni. Uma unesikhathi esiningi ezandleni zakho, hamba ibanga elide ubheke e-Cabo Pulmo National Park, enezindawo zokutshuza ezihamba phambili eMexico. Kodwa uma ucindezelwe isikhathi, thatha umgwaqo omkhulu 1 udlule e-Los Barriles bese udlulela eLa Paz. Lokhu kuthatha amahora angaphansi kwamathathu.
I-La Paz inhloko-dolobha yesifunda sase-Baja California Sur, kodwa uma kufika amadolobha amakhulu, kunobuthongo. Leli dolobha eliyitheku elinomlando linendawo encane, kodwa ethandekayo i-malecon (engaphambili emanzini), enezindawo zokudlela eziphendulwe ngama-haciendas, izitolo, namahhotela. Ithiphu: Bhukha indawo yokuhlala ku-eclectic Ihhotela Baja Club.
I-waterfront futhi yilapho uzothola khona i-marina, enezikebhe zokuvakasha ezitholakalayo ukuze ziyise izivakashi esiqhingini esivikelwe. I-Espiritu Santo. Lesi siqhingi esingahlali muntu siyababaza ngamatshe aso abomvu, amanzi aluhlaza okwesabekayo, kanye nomsindo wamabhubesi asolwandle abhodlayo nxazonke.
I-Cabo iya e-Todos Santos
Enye inketho ukushayela uhlangothi lwasePacific kuqala, lapho isitobhi sokuqala kufanele kube yiTodos Santos ngaphambi kweLa Paz. Lokhu kuthatha kancane isikhathi esingaphezu kwamahora amabili ukufika eLa Paz.
ITodos Santos sekuyisikhathi eside iyisikhungo somsebenzi ongokomoya eBaja. Idonse ama-mystics, imimoya, abaculi, nabadali amashumi eminyaka.
Namuhla, imigwaqo enetshe eliyisihlabathi izungezwe amagalaji obuciko, izindawo zokudlela, nezitolo eziwubukhazikhazi. Indawo yehhotela iyachuma namanye amahhotela aphambili e-Mexico, njengawo I-Guaycura Boutique Hotel Beach Club & Spa futhi I-Paradero Todos Santos. Kodwa ngenkathi isixuku e-Todos Santos sesiqalile ukukhuphuka phezulu, abatshuzi, abapakishi, kanye nama-van-lifers basazozizwa besekhaya lapha. Eqinisweni, ukuntweza e-Los Cerritos Beach kungenye yezokuntweza ezihamba phambili eMexico.
La Paz kuya eLoreto noma eMulege
Ukuma e-Loreto kuyadingeka lapho ushayela inhlonhlo ye-Baja. Lesi sigodi sokudoba sobuthongo oLwandle Lwase-Cortez sesithanda ukujabulisa, sinamaloli okudla kwasolwandle, izindawo zokudlela ezingasemanzini, nezitolo ezincane zendawo. Bude buduze ne-Loreto ingenye yezindawo zokungcebeleka ezihamba phambili ezibandakanya konke e-Mexico: I-Villa del Palmar eziqhingini zaseLoreto. Ngincoma kakhulu le ndawo yokuphumula emangalisayo, ezungezwe iziqongo eziphakeme iyodwa, itheku eliseceleni.
Uma ukhetha ukweqa i-Loreto, yenza ukuhlela ukuyishaya lapho ubuya futhi esikhundleni salokho uqhubekele ku-Mulege. I-Mulege iqhuma isuka endaweni ewugwadule njengehlathi elivundile ngenxa ye-Río Santa Rosalía, enqamula idolobhana futhi iphumela oLwandle LwaseCortez. I-landscape ifana nento ongayibona ngqo e-Southeast Asia, kune-peninsula yasogwadule.
"... uma ukanise ukuwela i-Baja, i-Bahia Concepcion iyadingeka."
Ukushayela ukuya e-Mulege usuka e-Loreto kuyingqayizivele futhi kuthatha amahora angaphezu kwama-2. Umgwaqo onguthelawayeka ugudla ugu lomfula I-Bahia Concepcion. Lapho ushayela, gcina amehlo akho evule amehlo ukuze ubone izithonjana zamabhishi anesihlabathi esimhlophe esicwazimulayo esinama-palapas afulelwe ngotshani akhiwe abahambi bomgwaqo bangaphambilini. Ichweba linezindawo zokukhempa eziningana zama-RV, futhi, ngakho-ke uma ukanise indlela yakho ngaphesheya kwe-Baja, i-Bahia Concepcion iyadingeka.
IGuerrero Negro
Ngemva kweMulege, umgwaqo omude wogwadule. Indawo ehlabayo iyamangalisa, kodwa iwugwadule, ayinalutho ngaphandle kwe-cacti nezintaba ezishaywa umoya ezikude. Indawo elandelayo enkulu yempucuko izoba yiGuerrero Negro. Uma ushayela usuka e-Loreto kuwuhambo olude kakhulu (ngaphezu kwamahora angu-5), ngakho-ke ungase ufune ukulala ubusuku bonke edolobheni le-oasis. I-San Ignacio. I-San Ignacio ayinakho okuningi, kodwa inamahhotela ambalwa nezindawo zokudlela ezincane zabanye abenza uhambo olude lwenhlonhlo.
Ngokufanayo, i-Guerrero Negro iyindawo ekhawulelwe yabavakashi - yize ikhona ama-taco ezinhlanzi angcono kakhulu engake ngawanambitha - kodwa iyisitobhi esidumile sabantu abashayela inhlonhlo noma ababheke entshonalanga bebheke e-Bahia Tortugas enhle, evikelekile kanye namadolobhana amancane ahlukene asekupheleni kwewebhu yemigwaqo ewubhuqu emagebhugebhu. Uma ungumuntu osebenzisa i-surfer wanoma yiluphi uhlobo, uzofuna ukuthola imoto enamandla ukuze ikuyise kulawa madolobha, njenge-Bahia Asuncion. Kuzofaneleka.
I-San Felipe
Ngemuva kweGuerrero Negro, kungenye indawo enkulu engelutho ngaphandle kwamadolobha anothuli, acinywe yilanga kanye nezindawo ezimangalisayo. Kungemva kukaGuerrero Negro lapho umgwaqo omkhulu uhlukana kabili. Umgwaqo onguthelawayeka 1 uqhubeka ukhuphuka ogwini lwasePacific ubheke e-Ensenada naseRosarito, kuyilapho umgwaqo omkhulu 5 ukhuphuka ngohlangothi loLwandle lwaseCortez uye eSan Felipe.
Sikhethe ukushayela ukuya e-San Felipe kuqala, sazi ukuthi sizothatha uhlangothi lwasePacific lapho sibuya. Siphinde sathatha indlela ejikela ngase-Bahia de Los Angeles, itheku elikude elidume ngabashayeli bezikebhe abahamba ngomkhumbi oLwandle Lwase-Cortez kanye nabahlala emakhempini abafuna ukunqamula uhambo olude, ngezinye izikhathi oluyingozi. Isikhathi sokushayela esijwayelekile ukusuka eGuerrero Negro kuya eSan Felipe cishe I-4.5 kumahora we-5.
Uma unesikhathi esifushane, yeqa i-Bahia de Los Angeles bese uqhubekela phambili uye e-San Felipe, elinye lamadolobha aphezulu e-Baja. Ngaleso sizathu, uma unesikhathi esifushane ngincoma ukweqa iSan Felipe ngokuphelele. Inamabhishi amahle, kodwa umkhathi ugcwele izindawo zokudlela ezidayisa izivakashi kanye nezitolo zezikhumbuzo, kuzwakala sengathi ungaba noma yikuphi. Kuphinde kushisa kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezinyangeni zasehlobo.
Ensenada futhi Rosarito
Kunalokho, ngangiqonda ngqo e-Ensenada naseRosarito, izindawo ezimbili zolwandle ezinhle kakhulu e-Baja. Nakuba womabili amadolobhana ezivakashi, anobuhle obungokomlando, izindawo eziningi ezikhangayo, izindawo zokudlela ezinhle, namahhotela amahle.
Eqinisweni, ngajwayelana ngokujulile Ensenada ngemva kokuba “sibambeke” lapho izinsuku ezinhlanu phakathi nenkathi yeziphepho. Kwakungeyona inhloso yami ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi kangaka e-Ensenada, kodwa kwagcina kuyisibusiso njengoba ngakwazi ukwazi izindawo zayo ezikhangayo namabhishi.
Kuyidrayivu esheshayo ukuya kuyo I-Rosarito kusuka e-Ensenada, enamabhishi angcono ngokungangabazeki kanye nezinto ezimnandi kakhulu ongazibona nokukwenza. Uzothola nenani lamahhotela asezingeni eliphezulu nezindawo zokungcebeleka lapha.
Into ebaluleke kakhulu okufanele uyikhumbule lapho uzama uhambo lomgwaqo we-Baja ukugcina uhambo luxega. Shiya indawo eningi yokuthuthukiswa. Izinto ngeke zihambe njengoba bekuhleliwe. Kuzoba nezimanga. Kodwa futhi kuzoba uhambo olungena ngaphansi kwesikhumba sakho, futhi okuhlangenwe nakho kuzokwandisa umbono wakho wokuthi iMexico ihluke kangakanani futhi inomlingo kangakanani.
