Getting to the Baja California Peninsula

In order to get to San Ignacio, several options exist:

• Loreto (LTO) is the nearest international airport. Aeromexico and Aerocalifornia operate several direct flights from Mexico City, Los Angeles, San Diego, La Paz and Hermosillo. From Loreto, you can take a bus, a taxi or rent a car and drive the 250 km (150 mi) of breath-taking scenery to San Ignacio in ~3.5 hours, or contract Kuyimá's transportation service.
• Tijuana is another convenient gateway to the Baja Califorrnia Peninsula. Several Mexican airlines (Aeromexico, Aerocalifornia, Aviacsa, Aerolíneas Internacionales, among others) fly directly to Tijuana airport from most major destinations in Mexico. From Tijuana you can take the bus, or drive your own or a rental car to San Ignacio. It is a 950 km (570 mi) drive and takes ~12 hours. There are is a couple of very convenient overnight bus runs departing from Tijuana in the evening and arriving to San Ignacio early next morning.
• You can also fly to San Diego (California) and get to Tijuana across the San Ysidro border. You can acquire your tourist card from the Mexican migration office there. 
• You can fly to La Paz (Aeromexico, Aerocalifornia) and take a bus or rent a car, and drive the 650 km (390 mi) between this beautiful seaport and San Ignacio, stopping by at Loreto, Mulegé and Santa Rosalía to get a more complete sense of Baja California. If you choose to take an overnight bus to San Ignacio, we recommend you to take the latest one (10 PM) since its arrival is most convenient.
• If you are already in northern Mexico (mainland states of Sonora, Chihuahua or Sinaloa), another convenient route is taking a ferry boat from Guaymas to Santa Rosalía, and from there take a 1-hour taxi or bus ride (72 km or 43 mi) west, to San Ignacio. There is also a regular (daily) ferry boat service from Mazatlan to La Paz. Check the ferry boat time schedules and fees in: www.ferrysematur.com.mx.

By Car

The Transpeninsular Highway is totally paved, in good shape and is safe. Though you have to be cautious while passing cargo vehicles at some narrow stretches, it is an amazing, classic road trip, worth to dedicate some extra time for enjoying the multiple landscapes and visiting its many natural and cultural highlights. You can drive your car or one that you can rent in Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Loreto and Tijuana or San Diego. Aproximate distances and straight driving times from these and other towns in Baja California are:

Loreto: 275 km (166 miles), ~3.5 hours
La Paz: 620 km (372 miles), ~8 hours
Tijuana: 886 km (532 miles), ~12 hours
Cabo San Lucas: 860 km (516 miles), ~ 12 hours
Santa Rosalía: 73 km (43.8 miles), ~1 hours
Guerrero Negro: 144 km (86 miles), ~2 hours
Ensenada: 773 km (464 miles), ~10 hours

If you are driving south, from Tijuana or Ensenada to San Ignacio), make sure to fill up gas in the Pemex station at El Rosario, or if driving north in Guerrero Negro, since there are is no regular fuel supply in between these two towns (438 km/263 mi).
