Experience Baja like never before: slow travel, scenic dirt roads, delicious food, and making new friends. Summer Camp Slow Baja Style is all about classic camp activities—horseback riding, hikes, swims, great food, and lively conversations under the stars. Any 4x4 or adventurous 2WD vehicle, new or old, is welcome. This Slow Baja Adventure is open to Slow Baja Alumni only.
This is no ordinary road trip. On this Slow Baja Adventure, you’ll traverse Baja Norte’s legendary dirt roads, feast on mouthwatering meals, and pitch your tent in awe-inspiring settings. The journey kicks off on Sunday morning, June 13th, just South of San Diego. Together, we’ll cross the border and caravan to the remarkable Rancho La Bellota. There, our welcoming host Raul has his horses saddled and ready to lead us on a ride through the ranch’s wild beauty. As dusk settles, we’ll enjoy a feast of ranch-raised lamb slow-roasted for twelve hours. After dinner, we’ll gather around the campfire, sip some fine tequila, and share stories.
Slow Baja is all about community and camaraderie. Perfect for couples, this Slow Baja Adventure will delight you as you slow down and enjoy more time outside and less time driving. We’ll start our mornings with yoga or a hike, take a relaxing horseback ride, and enjoy lazy afternoons with time for reading or a nap. You’ll enjoy the happiest of happy hours where hand-crafted Margaritas, Palomas, or a simple Ranch Water take the edge off as you learn authentic Mexican cooking techniques while helping our ranch ladies prepare our group dinner. Evenings will be spent hand-cranking ice cream, stargazing, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying libations and lively conversation around the campfire.
This seven-day adventure includes two ranch stays, epic dirt drives, and unforgettable landscapes—all experienced at a much slower pace. We’ll stay two nights at Rancho La Bellota and Rancho La Concepcion, with another camp night in between. Rooms may be available at both ranches (additional cost). We will wrap up the week with a poolside fiesta at the beautiful Horsepower Ranch Hotel. Our route will create great memories and, after the trip ends, surely a few long-lasting friendships. This trip is only available to Slow Baja Alumni.
