Camping in Mexico. Does it live up to the HYPE?

[@arturowagner4728]

As a Mexican, it is very refreshing to see wholesome folks come to visit and give a positive review of things. Welcome!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome! Thank you! We love it.

My grandfather was born in San Ignacio and baptized in that church in 1897. He immigrated to the USA in 1923 later becoming an American citizen. He passed in 1982.

It probably is not less safe than anywhere else, everything taken into account. But it is just a sad, sad thing.

[@melodymal3446]

I travel all over Mexico with my kids and have for over 20 years. You have to be smart like in any other place. The USA isn't immune to danger. The fact you have never been there shows that you know only what you've been told. There's good and bad everywhere. You are shown a little window mostly bad by media here.

[@dongriffin3025]

I’ll take redneck thieves in the US over a cartel bigger than the Mexican govt any day - don’t live in fear but common sense kicks in on this one.

[@Benidew]

Wow! Loved the video. Looks absolutely amazing! I was nervous watching you in that small boat on the whale watch. It seems like a whale could easily swim under your boat and tip it. What a totally cool experience, though!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Glad you enjoyed it! We loved it.

[@lindajohnson4204]

You know, they could overturn them, but they seem to be really careful not to do it. As long as they have good experiences with people, they want their babies to meet us, which is incredible. I hope they have better luck on their second trip.

Rule of thumb 20 pesos is one dollar. I love going through the stores and seeing all the different items and getting excited when I recognize them.

[@melodymal3446]

@Less Junk, More Journey when I'm there if something is say 160 pesos. Drop the last digit and divide the other in half. Not perfect but close. So 160-0 is 16. Half of 16 is 8. So 8 dollars

At these beach sites you won't often find full hook ups because they are so close to the water, but they have water and dumps on site.

Nathan and Marissa, I was wonder how you plan to deal with the new “law” requiring a permit for KZbinrs and others in national parks? The fees vary but I have been told that permits and fees could be as high as 500 dollars per park and the permit fees are non refundable and not guaranteed. I have heard of one KZbinrs being fined a thousand dollars for no permit.

[@weir7580]

I really enjoy watching you guys! Not cool getting so close to the whales, especially with their babies... in Canada (& USA), we have to stay 328 feet away or big problems with the law. Causes lots of stress on the whales. Safe travels in Mexico and enjoy the sunshine 😎

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

They swam to us, it was a great experience.

[@lindajohnson4204]

But in these "nursery" lagoons, the mamas actually bring their babies up to the little boats to meet the people, and be petted by them! That's what makes it such a special experience. If the whales begin to experience it as pressure, maybe too many boats, or the people do jerky things, the first change will probably be that the mamas just won't bring the babies to meet us, anymore. And sadly, some people probably do seek it out as something to ruin. But while there's a delicate balance, that allows the moms to think we're a good experience for their babies, I would sure take mine to see them.

[@weir7580]

Just weird it's against the law here in Canada & USA yet OK to do in Mexico...
