Baja California Sur lies on a popular drug smuggling route to the [[United States of America|US]], which means there are many military checkpoints on the main highway. They are often very helpful to hitchhikers and will talk to drivers to take you with them.
If you plan on heading to mainland Mexico from the Baja, you can take a ferry in La Paz (Pichilingue) towards Mazatlán or Topolobampo. From La Paz to Topolobampo costs $970 MXN (approx. $53 USD) and to Mazatlan costs $1102 MXN (approx. $60 USD) (June 2016). See the [http://en.bajaferries.com.mx/ BajaFerries website] for the latest prices. It is also possible to hitchhike a private yacht: [[User:Chael777|Chael777]] managed to [[hitchhiking a sailboat|hitchhike a sailboat]] from La Paz to Mazatlán. == August 2016 experience: ==[[User:El Chulito|El Chulito]] and [[User:Shamcore|Shamcore]] hitch-hiked several places in [[Baja California]], spending a bit more than a month staying on the beaches and local people’s homes. Thumbing experience is more than positive. Don’t miss this part of [[Mexico]], it’s people and nature will drive you crazy. Hitch-hiking through this state is highly recomendable. == Camping on the beach ==It is a common practice to camp on beaches in Baja California Sur. Mexican themselves consider it safe however it might be interesting to check with the local population before doing so (it is dangerous on the other side of the gulf for example). Some of them might be privatized by hotels and resorts but it is quite easy to find another spot a bit further. The tide has little effect on the Californian Gulf coast so camping is also doable on small beaches like in La Paz. ===Playa del Amor===The Lovers’ Beach is a hidden cove near Cabo San Lucas, at the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula. You can access it by water taxi. A regular price would be between 100 and 150 pesos. ===Towns and places of [[Baja California Sur]]:===* [[Bahia de Tortugas]]* [[Cabo San Lucas]]* [[Ciudad Constitucion]]* [[Ciudad Insurgentes]]* [[Guerrero Negro]]* [[La Paz (Baja California Sur)]]* [[Loreto]]* [[Mulege]]* [[Puerto San Carlos]]* [[San Ignacio]]* [[San Jose del Cabo]]* [[Santa Rosalia]]* [[Todos Santos]]
