The roads in much of Baja are similar to the roads in the US, some are great, some, well, not so much. The highways we use from Potrero south to other stops including the Zoo, and La Jolla Beach Camp are in pretty good shape. But, Ensenada, which we will pass through on the way to La Jolla Beach Camp, is known for its potholes. We have picked a route that will help minimize the potholes, but we can’t avoid all of them. Please do ensure that your rig and tires are in great shape! While there are tire shops everywhere, we don’t want you to need one!
If you choose to go on one of the Add-On trips, you may experience more of the poorer maintained Baja highways. That means you’ll probably experience some roads with notable erosion and potholes, narrower lanes (the lanes in Baja are approximately one foot narrower than US roads), and many have virtually no shoulder. But as the posted speed limits in Baja are in Km, (I Kilometer = .62 miles, 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers), and the maximum speed is generally around 45 mph, the roads are completely manageable. You just have to slow down, drive smart, and you’ll be fine.
