*Update on Escapar a la Baja, Dos 12/23/20*
This weekend the the state of Baja California Sur closed the beaches around La Paz, including Playa El Tecolote, and raised the COVID-related threat level to Orange. It is also now a legal requirement to wear a mask anywhere, everywhere, in Mexico.
We are watching the situation closely and talking with our contacts in the local tourism Authority.
We are not officially postponing or cancelling Escapar a la Baja (yet) but we want to state/recommend:
1. Safety should be everyone’s primary concern: practice social distancing, wear a mask, get tested, and get the vaccine when it becomes available.
2. In the event we postpone/cancel the gathering, we are aware many are still traveling to Baja this winter. Please see #1.
Thank you.
February 5th, 6th, & 7th 2021. Playa Tecolote, Baja California Sur
Last January, Escapar a la Baja uno took Baja by storm. Attended by over 50 intrepid pioneers led by Josiah Roe and Ben Quesnel, the first annual Baja campout outside of La Paz, BCS Mexico was 3 days of peace, love, and Soundboks on the picturesque white sand beach of Playa Tecolote. This year we are looking to expand the gathering, which is open to all, and create something worthy of some of our other favorite gatherings such as Descend on Bend in Oregon, and SyncroFest in California. Explore beautiful La Paz, Baja, relax on the beach, eat some fish tacos, and throw back your favorite Mexican libation.
