2 de Abril Santa Fe

Trail Overview

If you start this trail at Transpeninsular Highway 1, it starts as a 2-way vehicle road, with lots of gravel and compact soil with some roots on the sides. There are lots of turns and typical desert Baja views, with some sand patches that are easy to go through as well as a few ranchos along the way. You will pass the Santa Fe ranchos area to get to 2 de Abril. After that section, things change; first, you have to be careful with a few silt patches (called "talcales" in Baja) that can be somewhat deep. Second, the road kind of vanishes; it gets a bit hard to see the trail when it turns into a soft sand/silt trail that traverses a river bed/dry lake. Therefore, it can be impossible to cross during rainy season. The trail will take you to a small palapa left by a fisherman on the side of a big lake where you can camp, and it almost touches the Pacific Sea. It's a perfect place to spend one or a few nights-just be sure you bring supplies with you. There are no businesses in the area.
