Ride the length of Baja California, crossing by ferry to mainland Mexico and returning through the northern Mexican states of Sinaloa, Durango, Chihuahua and Sonora.
Combine the wonder of the desert solitude, cactus-dotted horizons and sleepy remote fishing villages of Baja California with a unique overnight ferry ride across the Sea of Cortez and the vibrant culture, authentic dishes and lush mountainous landscapes of mainland Mexico.
Encounter one of the most famous motorcycle routes in the country: the Espinazo del Diablo (the Devil’s Backbone). This twisting mountain highway climbs into the Sierra Madre Occidental, with hundreds of curves, misty forests, and jaw-dropping vistas that test both skill and focus. Durango itself, once a hub for silver mining and film sets for classic Westerns, makes for a rewarding stop with its historic plazas and lively energy.
The landscapes of Sonora and Chihuahua shift dramatically. Sonora’s vast deserts and rugged sierras provide endless miles of open riding, punctuated by colonial towns like Álamos, known as the “Pueblo Mágico” for its cobblestone streets and whitewashed architecture. In Chihuahua, the ride reaches new heights—literally—with the Copper Canyon, a system of canyons larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon. Here, riders can explore winding mountain roads, stop at miradores (lookout points), and even take the famous El Chepe train for a different perspective of this natural wonder.
This route packs a huge punch and is unlike any other. Baja’s stark beauty, the cultural and coastal charm of Mazatlán, the adrenaline of mountain riding in Durango, and the sweeping deserts and canyons of the north.
