Service: Top 10 Places to Visit in Baja California
By: Kimberly Ortiz
Baja California is one of the most diverse states in Mexico. Located at the northernmost part of this country, Baja California includes remote deserts, dormant volcanoes and wonderful old mission towns. Not only in climate, but in experiences, Baja California has a vast repertoire of activities anyone can enjoy. From hiking to surfing, here are the top ten spots you can do fun things for that you can visit: 10. Playas de Rosarito Once a deserted, sandy beach and then a Hollywood film location, Playas de Rosarito is finally coming into its own. Developments and condos are everywhere, but despite the construction clamor, Rosarito is a quieter place to party and is an easy day trip (or overnight trip) from Tijuana or San Diego. 9. Museo Arqueológico El Vallecito Here you can find a place with great diversity of rock painting elaborated by the ancient Kumiai, with geometric, zoomorphic or anthropomorphic figures. In one of the sites there’s El Diablito, a figure of a man with a horn that signals the 22nd of December’s winter solstice; the day in which the sun rays enter through the cavity, illuminating the figure’s eyes. 8. Parque Nacional Constitución 1857 The park covers an extension of the Juárez mountain range in the north of Baja California, which is the haven for a great quantity of wild species, like the bighorn sheep and bura deer. La flora of the place is made of mainly of various conifer species.
