Offroad, Overland and Outback: Friendly and Respectful Cultural Exchange Excursions Benefit Short-term Explorers and Longtime Locals Alike
Venturing beyond the popular, plentifully peopled coastal enclaves of Baja California Sur opens up a world of unique experiences that not only enrich travelers but also support local communities.
When done right, off-the-beaten-path approaches to exploring Mexico's southern peninsula offers win-win, muy bien scenarios for adventurers and residents alike.
Below is fascinating and gorgeously filmed documentary about the land and lives of the people living on the lands of the San Francisco Sierra. It was produced by Maijanui, an organization working to research, safeguard, illuminate and if necessary rescue authentic Mexican traditions, customs, creations, practices and food, which are the venerable and invaluable foundations of Baja California Sur’s rich history and living culture.
