Starting in Los Angeles, the pack roars south on Highway 1 through
the border town of Tijuana to the beach resort
of Ensenada for a night at the world-famous
cantina, Hussong's.
Riders experience the magnificent boulder formations,
rugged hills and dense desert vegetation of the
Vizcaino Desert with its smells of sage, pinon
pine and datura, to the forest of date palms and
cool waters of the oasis of San Ignacio. The blue-green
waters of Bahia Conception, with its views of
volcanic islands and isolated beach camps; the
red-brown peaks of the Sierra de la Giganta; and
sunsets at Land's End are more beautiful than
any travel poster could ever depict.

including Loreto, Mulege and Santa Rosalia (known
for its metal church designed by Eiffel, the
architect of the Eiffel Tower); to the artists'
and surfers' community of Todos Santos, with
a stay at Hotel California; to the whale migration
centers of the Magellana Lagoons in San Carlos
or Scammons Lagoon in Guerrero Negro; to Mexico's

DAY
1FROM - TO: Arrival MILES: 5 OF INTEREST: The hotel driver will meet
the tour flight at the Los Angeles International
Airport and deliver you to the hotel for a nap
before the evening dinner party where your tour
guides will introduce themselves, the tour itinerary
and complete travel documents. Then we recommend
an early bedtime to prepare for the adventure
to come. But for those who can't sleep on their
first night in LA, you can go to the Santa Monica
Promenade, the largest street crowd in California
aside from Disneyland, for a taste of LA.
DAY 2FROM - TO: Los Angeles to
Ensenada MILES: 190 OF INTEREST: The moment has come: you are
escorted to the showroom floor. In a few minutes
you will be embarking on the vacation adventure
of a lifetime and your dream is about to become
reality. As your heart pounds, you strap on your
black leather jacket and worn boots and settle
yourself into the saddle of your chrome and steel
‘ride’, a gleaming, late-model Harley-Davidson.
Your guides will make sure your equipment is ready
for Baja and then we will start south on the Pacific
Coast Highway past famous surf breaks, seaside
restaurants, art villages, San Diego’s Mission

and on to Ensenada. Then its Harleys at Hussongs,
famous for seafood dinners and for a wild party
at the world famous cantina.
DAY 3FROM - TO: Ensenada to Catavina MILES: 230 HOTEL: TBA OF INTEREST: This morning, picture yourself
as a modern cowboy roaming the open range on an
ironhorse vibrating with 1340cc’s of power and
gusto. Our destination: the desert ... the real
desert. The clear air rips past your face bringing
unfamiliar smells of the old west: sage, pinion
pine, and datura. Like an eagle you soar into
the open country, not looking back and not knowing
what lies ahead. Our road leaves the coast and
we enter the ‘real’ Baja where cirio trees and
giant cardon cacti begin appearing alongside the
road. The Vizcaino Desert is one of the most fascinating
desert regions in the world. We are greeted with
expansive views of boulder formations, rugged
hills and dense desert vegetation. For the first
time, perhaps, you really understand what it meant
to the cowboys to ride free in the wild west.
DAY 4FROM - TO: Catavina to San
Ignacio MILES: 235 OF INTEREST: We continue through this fascinating
boulder-strewn country over several 1000 meter
summits, past flat-topped volcanic cones and cactus-covered
hills into one of Baja's most charming pueblos.
San Ignacio is an authentic desert oasis located
at the bottom of a wide arroyo in a forest of
date palms and cool ponds. The thatched-roofed
dwellings and pastel-colored business structures
are clustered around an imposing stone mission
and a tree-shaded plaza. Walk the zocalo (town
square) in the evening with the local people and
feel old Mexico seeping into your bones in the
soft twilight.

California with blue-green waters, volcanic islands

Valley, the major agricultural center for southern
Baja. We then cross back across the peninsula
beyond chalk-colored hills to the edge of a large
lagoon with the city of La Paz just a cluster
of white buildings on the far side. For some travelers,
La Paz is the finest city in all of Mexico. Take
a walk along the waterfront and downtown area
to see for yourself. Then enjoy the ambiance of
our fine hotel and prepare for an evening in the
big city.

Cabo and then down the coast to the Bahia San
Lucas, a favorite hiding place for pirates who
lay in wait for Spanish treasure ships in the
16th and 17th century. Today it is the international
resort community of Cabo San Lucas and we are
here to enjoy it all. Just before arriving in
Cabo we get a view of Land’s End, the tip of the
Baja peninsula. We relax at the beach this afternoon
