Expedition Itinerary
Your 7-day programme
A rhythm of adventure by day and comfort by night — here is how the expedition unfolds.
Day 01
Arrival in Tecate
Private transfer from San Diego across the border to Tecate and the rolling vineyards of Valle de Guadalupe — the traditional Baja 1000 staging ground. Expedition briefing and welcome dinner in Baja’s wine country before the machines are prepared.

Engines start. First stages climb through the pine forests and dusty mountain passes of the Sierra de Juárez, then drop down long fast tracks to the Pacific at Ensenada. Overnight stay in Ensenada.

The Pacific coast → San Quintín
South along the rugged Pacific — open coastal tracks, ocean bluffs and scrub-desert runs to the wide bay of San Quintín. Overnight stay in San Quintín.
Day 04
Valle de los Cirios → Bahía de los Ángeles
Cross the peninsula through the Valle de los Cirios, a forest of giant cardon and cirio cactus, to the turquoise Sea of Cortez at Bahía de los Ángeles. Overnight on the Cortez.
Day 05
The Vizcaíno desert → San Ignacio
Long stages across the Vizcaíno desert and volcanic hills, dust and cactus as far as you can see, to the date-palm oasis of San Ignacio. Overnight stay in San Ignacio.
