Baja California

Baja California stretches from the United States border to the 28th parallel north, encompassing the arid northern half of the peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. Its terrain shifts from coastal plains and desert basins to the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, where protected mountain country contrasts sharply with the dry interior. Tijuana and Mexicali anchor the state’s busy border economy, while Ensenada is a major Pacific port. Near Ensenada, the Valle de Guadalupe is Mexico’s best-known wine-producing area, and colonial-era mission sites recall the peninsula’s earlier settlement history.
