Baja Mexico is a land that is renowned for its incredible natural beauty. Its pristine beaches and stark desert landscapes have been its main attraction to visitors for decades. However, as more tourists arrive, it puts added pressure on the nature. There are several entrepreneurs who have seen the necessity for creating sustainable tourism in order to keep a balance between man and nature on the Baja. Vacationers who are concerned about Baja's natural sustainability and who want their vacation to have as small an impact as possible should consider a road trip to one of Baja's premier eco-friendly destinations.

EcoMundo, Laguna San Ignacio, Baja Mexico

Located near the Laguna San Ignacio at Bahia Concepcion, the EcoMundo is a laid back eco-resort that is the perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying Mother Nature. The waters just off shore are perfect for sea kayaking, and many travel here for just that. The resort includes guest houses made with traditional palapa style roofs. Other eco-friendly design features include hay-bale and stucco walls. The EcoMundo is dedicated to sustainable living and guests here can enjoy the natural surroundings while leaving a very small ecological footprint.

Dazante Eco Lodge, Loreto, Baja Mexico

The Dazante is an all-inclusive resort in Loreto on the Sea of Cortez that is dedicated to sustainable living. Recycling is mandatory there. The resort was built using local organic materials including local volcanic stone and sustainably harvested pitahaya-cactus wood. In addition, the entire resort is powered by solar energy. Rates include three meals a day that are prepared using ingredients from an on-site organic garden and greenhouse. Dazante offers guests a luxurious experience without practices that diminish the natural environment.

Villa del Faro, Los Cabos, Baja Mexico

The Villa del Faro is a unique boutique hotel that is completely off-the-grid and eco-friendly. It is located to the north of San Jose del Cabo on a secluded beach. Guests will enjoy the seclusion that the eco-hotel has to offer without having to sacrifice any of luxuries that one would expected of a resort experience. Each casita is located on the beach with spectacular views of the ocean. The power of the sun is utilized here and each casita runs completely on solar power. Those seeking a luxurious vacation that is also eco-friendly will appreciate what the Villa del Faro has to offer.

All of the tranquil eco-friendly Baja, Mexico destinations make great road trip destinations. Driving to Mexico is a great way to experience the natural beauty of the Baja while leaving a small ecological footprint in your wake. Since Baja is part of the Mexican free zone, you will not need a permit for your car there. You will need a passport for each person traveling (including children) as well as Mexican auto insurance for your vehicle. The benefit of traveling in the free zone is that you can stay as long as you want without having to worry about taking your car to the border to renew a permit, which is a good thing because these eco-friendly destinations may make you want to kick back and stay a while.
