| What Do I Need To Travel To Baja California |
The Essentials: More Than Just Your Swimsuit
- Passport, Please: Unless you're planning on swimming across the border (not recommended), a valid passport is your golden ticket to Baja.
- Tourist Card (FMM): This little slip of paper is your visa for Mexico. You can usually get one at the border, but it's quicker and easier to get it online beforehand. Think of it as your VIP pass to the Mexican party.
- Driver's License: If you're planning on hitting the open road, bring your driver's license. And maybe a map, because GPS can be a bit of a diva in some parts.
- Cash is King (Sort Of): While credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas, having some cash on hand is always a good idea. Especially for those off-the-beaten-path taco stands.
Optional, But Highly Recommended:
- Sunscreen: Because nobody wants to look like a lobster.
- Hat: To protect your precious noggin from the sun's rays.
- Good Hiking Shoes: If you're planning on exploring the wilderness, leave those flip-flops at home.
- A Sense of Adventure: Baja is all about embracing the unexpected. So, pack your curiosity and leave your worries behind.
What You Don't Need:
- A Suitcase: Unless you're planning on a fashion show in the desert, a backpack or duffel bag will do just fine.
- Worries: Leave 'em at home. Baja is all about relaxation and soaking up the good vibes.
