Our Baja Amigos 28 Day RV Caravan Tour
Taking a camping journey down the Baja California in Mexico is something I had wanted to do for many years. My wife and I finally made this happen by joining a 🚌 Baja Mexico RV Caravan Tour.
This was our first major driving trip with our 🚌 recreational vehicle into Mexico, and definitely wanted to have the company and experience of well-seasoned travelers into the Country for this trip.
We selected the Baja Amigos 28 Day RV Caravan Tour for this adventure!
