Camionera – the bus station in La Paz is conveniently located on The Malecon – shore´ promenade dotted with picturesque palm trees – so it was not a long walk with the backpack from ¨Convento¨ where I stay to the bus. Ticket to Loreto costs 239 pesos… It is a long, 5 hours drive.
Baja California or Californian Peninsula is wide country – from Cabos to Tijuana is 1700 kms long… There were great views on the way – thousands of cacti per each kilometre. But the nicest landscape is in the area of Sierra Giganta range. You will see not only the mountains but also blue sea bays… The driver was polite and allow me to take a conductors seat so the pictures will be nice…
I disembarked in Loreto after 5 hours, left my pack in Salvatierra Motel and walked to see the oldest Spanish Mission in Baja located just 500 m away… Nice, old building with a museum attached. Entry to the churches is free but for the museum you have to pay 37 pesos. Great sunset…
