A.K.A. "Canon de Guadalupe"

Imagine a palm oasis canyon in a remote area of the Baja desert; Cool springs that feed the lush landscape with oversized boulders & waterfalls. With each campsite featuring it's very own custom hot springs tub. This is paradise as we know it. If you can handle the 30+ miles of unimproved dirt roads, this is the spot for you.



paradise pools

40 miles SW of Mexicali off Mexican Hwy 2

A family run set of campgrounds within a steep palm canyon. Hot Springs are piped to individual pools at each campsite for a maximum of privacy. A cold creek runs through the canyon as well, feeding the palm grove below & waterfalls way up canyon. A desert oasis set upon the slopes of the Sierra Juarez Mountains in Baja. The winter months are prime time to visit. Temperatures are moderate, days are pleasant & midweek has minimal people. Avoid holiday weekends as crowds are roedy & prices soar with 3-day minimum requirements. This canyon is hard to reach, but well worth the distant journey. SUV or Truck is recommended for the long haul.
