Individuals who are interested in embarking on an exciting and difficult bike tour should consider planning a trip to Mexico. Traveling through the Baja Peninsula on a bicycle is a popular and fun adventure travel activity that individuals may enjoy partaking in with their friends or family.
The trail starts about 1,000 miles south of San Diego, California, and travels through Mexico, primarily sticking to the famous Highway 1. Though the terrain is mostly flat and lacks giant obstacles such as hulking tree stumps and mountain ranges, it can be a dangerous journey due to its length and the individuals that one may encounter along their way.
According to National Geographic, many cyclists report being harassed by truckers as they pass them on the highway. However, as long as one has a thick skin, they should still consider planning this vacation, or a similar one, with a small group of adventure traveler friends. As this trip is sure to be a once-in-lifetime experience, it is best enjoyed with a few select individuals that enjoy a challenge as much as you do.
