Overland Trail Guides is partnering with Baja veterans Mangai Rollin for our first ever Baja Expedition (Expedecion Baja.  The tour is led by long-time Baja veteran and Mangai Rollin owner, Matthew Mangus who has been exploring and doing commercial video shoots in Baja for 10+ years.    

The two week adventure is perfect for those looking to experience authentic Baja beyond the crowded streets and bars of tourist enclaves like Ensenada and San Felipe.  The tour features remote and out of the way beaches, visiting lagoons that harbor grey whales nurturing their calves, hot springs, off-road trails and copious amounts of Baja's famous tacos.
