Baja AirVentures
A Wonderful Wilderness Retreat South of the Border
By Lynn and Glenn PribusFor tranquility and solitude, consider one of our
favorite places: Las Animas Wilderness Retreat in
Baja (Animas translates to souls or spirits).
Fly into Bahia de Los
Angeles, where a military guard protects your parked
plane 24/7, or fly from San Diego with Baja AirVentures’ experienced
commercial pilots. Guests are ferried to Las Animas
in a sturdy boat with occasional pauses for whale watching.
Las Animas is a “green” resort with inviting yurts
sprinkled on a long, curving sand beach. Hearty Mexican-style
meals are served up in a central yurt, which serves
as dining room, library and cantina.
Guests hike, snorkel,
fish, sail, go beach-combing or star-gazing. We loved
kayaking each day at dawn. Once, everyone even went
to a nearby sea lion colony where the young creatures
cavorted mischievously around us.
If you’ve been wary of requirements for flying into Mexico, this could be a valuable "how-to" trip. Kevin, the resort owner, speaks fluent Spanish and knows all about Baja flying: what to do when immigration isn’t around, where fuel’s available and how to interact with the “Federales.”
Baja
AirVentures offers all-inclusive packages as well.
