The Baja Mexico Backroads Tour is an amazing weather-guaranteed one-week loop of Baja California, and featuring the best on-and-off-road route in northern Baja.
This tour starts (and finishes) in Los Angeles, United States and travels down through Southern California past San Diego and across the Mexico border, before running past Tijuana and turning right into the beautiful and safe peninsula of Baja California.
This tour is a large mix of paved roads and off-road gravel and light-sand, the conditions of which are challenging and require experienced riding skills, and pillion riders are not available.
Much of the tour is the famous Baja 1000 route, displaying that this tour is off the beaten track and fits into the true adventure motorcycling bracket, although each evening is spent in very nice standard 3-4 star hotels.
Polaris drives this tour in the northern hemisphere winter in order that European and U.S. riders can enjoy a break from the winter cold and can enjoy the beauty of Baja and some Vitamin D from the amazing weather while undertaking this very special tour.
