Tour Plan

Day 1 Arrival in Tijuana & Transfer to Tecate

Arrive at Tijuana International Airport and meet your Adventures Mexico guide. From here, transfer to the tranquil mountain town of Tecate, nestled in the northern Baja hills. Check into a peaceful retreat where you can settle into your surroundings and breathe in the fresh air. Unwind from travel and begin to attune to a slower rhythm. In the evening, an optional golden-hour walk invites you to begin your wellness journey with gentle movement and connection to nature.

Day 2 Yoga, Hands-On Artisan Baking & Ancient Cave Paintings

Welcome the day with an open-air yoga session under Tecate’s gentle morning light. After a nourishing breakfast, step into a local bakery for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Baja-style bread. Feel the textures, learn time-honored techniques, and enjoy your fresh creation with fellow travelers. After lunch, head into the mountains to visit the dramatic rock formations of La Rumorosa and the ancient cave paintings of El Vallecito archaeological site—a powerful encounter with Baja’s earliest artistic expressions. Return to Tecate by early evening for a restful night.

Day 3 Forest Spa & Arrival in Valle de Guadalupe

This morning, visit a wellness spa in Baja’s oak-covered forests, where volcanic clay masks and thermal pools offer gentle detox and relaxation. Enjoy a quiet, reflective environment designed to soothe and ground. Later, transfer to Valle de Guadalupe, Baja’s famous wine country, and check into a boutique vineyard hotel. Spend your evening unwinding with a view of the vines and desert sky, preparing for a rich day of local flavors and movement tomorrow.

Day 4 Vineyard Yoga & Baja Wine Experience

Begin with yoga among the vines as morning light pours over the valley. After a peaceful breakfast and some time for journaling or quiet reflection, visit two family-run wineries to explore Baja’s growing reputation for bold and elegant wines. Learn about the region’s viticulture, meet the producers, and taste a curated selection paired with local bites. End the day in community or solitude, reflecting on the balance between movement, flavor, and rest.

Day 5 Baja Temazcal & Transfer to Ensenada

In the morning, participate in a traditional temazcal—an ancestral steam bath used by Indigenous peoples of Mexico for purification and spiritual alignment. The Baja-style temazcal blends local herbs, volcanic stones, and steam inside a clay dome, guided by an experienced temazcalero. The ceremony encourages emotional release, physical detox, and renewal of energy. After this deep wellness experience and a light lunch, transfer to Ensenada where the coastal breeze welcomes you into the next phase of your journey.

Day 6 Ocean Yoga & Creative Encounter

Wake up with yoga facing the Pacific Ocean, letting your breath follow the rhythm of the waves. Afterward, visit a local artisan workshop where you’ll learn the story behind regional crafts and create a piece of art using natural materials. This hands-on activity invites mindfulness and creativity. The afternoon is yours to walk the shoreline, visit galleries, or simply rest with a view of the sea.

Day 7 Coastal Exploration & Farewell Dinner

Choose between a scenic walk along Ensenada’s cliffs or a gentle kayak experience through its protected bay. Let the final day guide you toward presence and appreciation for Baja’s wild, peaceful beauty. In the evening, gather one last time for a farewell dinner by the ocean. Share stories, laughter, and local cuisine as you reflect on a week of renewal, connection, and balance.

Day 8 Departure from Tijuana

After breakfast, enjoy a private transfer back to Tijuana International Airport. Take with you the calm of Baja’s landscapes, the depth of its traditions, and the sense of reconnection that comes from a journey well lived.
