Baja Sur : Guerrero Negro Baja Sur : Guerrero Negro Immediately south of the 28th Parallel, Guerrero
Negro (cheap hotels) is the nearest town to the Ojo de Liebre lagoon,
also known as Scammon's Lagoon, which serves as a winter (December-April)
birthing ground for the California
Grey Whale, until recently an endangered species. The whales migrate yearly
from the Bering Sea. The lagoon is an inlet off the Bahia Sebastian Vizcaino
(the Spanish discoverer
of the bay in 1596) and was named after an American
whaling captain who explored the area in 1857. Several dirt roads from
town lead to the best whale watching points. The lagoon, now a national
park, is also filled with other marine life, including sharks, octopuses,
lobsters, oysters and a wide variety of fish. South of town is one of
the largest salt evaporation fields in the world. Mexico 1 now heads east
across the barren Vizcaino Desert. San Ignacio, 123 kilometers (76 miles)
from Guerrero Negro, is like an oasis in a small valley filled with palm
trees. There's a stone mission church (1728) and pre-Columbian
cave paintings on the cliff walls near town. The road continues to the
Sea of Cortes coast, with the enormous cone of the Las Virgenes volcano
on the left. Santa Rosalia, the port and smelter for nearby copper mines,
is a bustling little city. The cast-iron Templo de Santa Rosalia near
the main square was ordered by French
mining company engineers from Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the tower
in Paris,
and was delivered in pieces by freighter in 1905. A ferry to Guaymas leaves
three times a week. Mulege, 63 kilometers (39 miles) down the coast, is
a garden-like town; each house is surrounded by fruit and palm trees.
The mission church was constructed on a huge rock near town. Cave paintings
are nearby, and excellent beaches are three kilometers (1.8 miles) away.
At the south end of the Bahia Concepcion, halfway between Mulege and Loreto,
is the Playa Santisima, a beautiful half-moon of sand with camping and
some semi-permanent vacation homes. Travel to Mexico
