Guerrero Negro Travel Guide

 bajagal Says:  Several Motels offer tours of the salt works for up to $35 a person, but if you go to the ESSA company's main office, you can arrange a tour for FREE! They provide a guide who drives your vehicle and give a full tour of the salt works. You can get out and take photos... 

 ViajesdelMundo Says:  Guerrero Negro is the best place (other than San Ignacio) to come for the whale-watching tours. There are a number of places in town which can provide this service, but see MALARRIMO restaurant and accommodation tips, as these people have a big, reliable tourism... 

 zephyr20 Says:  A short drive from town on the main highway north is the fishing camp of Laguna Manuela,it's about 20 to 30 min and you have to drive down a washboard road to get there. Once you arrive at the encampment,drive past the trailers and up the hill on the dirt road,eventually you... 

 maryellen50 Says:  There is no other place in the world to view the Pacific Gray Whale at it's closest. As Mexico is the ONLY country in the world who has totally outlawed whale hunting, the gray whales do not feel threatened by people. For the three(3) days we where in the lagoons, we saw... 

 Agraichen Says:  Just past the military base on Highway One at the north end of Guerrero Negro is The Halfway Inn Hotel and Trailer Park. Many people drive right past as its set off the road about 100 meters, but it's as good as any of the hotels "in town" and has better food (IMO). Plus... 

 ViajesdelMundo Says:  WE STAYED ONE NIGHT ON THE DRIVE UP THE PENINSULA AND LIKED IT SO MUCH WE STAYED AGAIN ON THE DRIVE BACK HOME, and I have stayed a couple more times since.They have Double, Queen and even a 'Junior King Suite', with varying prices. The first 2 times, we stayed in the Jr.... 

 bajagal Says:  A school group from San Diego came to Guerrero Negro to see whales and the weather was cold and windy so instead of camping, we looked for an affordable motel with a large room. Cowboy Motel is the first motel on the right side coming into Guerrero Negro and they offered us... 

 Agraichen Says:  After being refused at Caracoles because we travel with our 5 pound Yorkshire Terrier, we decided to try the hotel across the street. The restaurant at the Hotel Malarrimo had been recommended so we stopped and asked if they allowed pets.Apparently in the past they did not,... 

 maryellen50 Says:  Guerrero Negro is not the place to find luxury (or even 4-star accommodations). Most of the places have hot water but no heat in the room so it can be an uncomfortable experience if you are not accustomed to the cold. I heard the La Pinta does have heat in the rooms. The... 

 jujub Says:  Guerrero Negro offers lots of accommodations, and they are very affordable, especially if you are travelling with more people. We saw some cars outside the city, debating whether or not they should pass what it looked like another military checkpoint (but it's not), but... 

 Agraichen Says:  Don't let looks deceive you. In Mexico on the road, many road side establishments may look a bit "weathered" but you still must investigate to find out. If there are "locals" present you must definitely try it.The chips and salsa were just "ok." OK, I've been spoiled with... 

 maryellen50 Says:  You won't have a problem finding real, authentic Mexican food in this town. There are some seafood restaurants which cater to gringos (I avoided them). Cheese enchiladas with Mole sauce. That is my favorite dish. Mole is the national dish of Mexico.
