Native Trails MyTrails 2025 15 Baja California 6 Visit La Rumorosa Duration: 03:00 h · Level: Medium La Rumorosa – the Whispering One – is the name of a fascinating section of Autopista 20 between Tijuana and Mexicali. Especially motorcyclists love the winding road at the edge of the Sierra de Juárez which climbs almost 1,000 vertical meters (more than 3,000 ft.) over a distance of some 25 km (15 mi.) [air line: 10 km [6.2 mi.]] between the bifurcation of the lanes to the place where they meet again. There is probably no other road in the world that passes such an unreal landscape of weather-beaten and impressive rock formations, all this enhanced by the murmur of mysterious melodies that are produced by the strong winds incessantly blowing through the clefts between the rocks. Bays offer opportunities for photo stops, and the short walk to the Casa de Piedra, from where you have a magnificent panoramic view of the bizarre rock landscape surrounding you, is unforgettable. 7 Transfer from San Diego to Tijuana Duration: 01:30 h · Level: Easy Transfer from the Californian metropolis of San Diego to the adventurous Mexican sister city of Tijuana. 8 Transfer from Tijuana to San Diego Duration: 04:00 h · Level: Medium Transfer from the adventurous Mexican border town of Tijuana to the Californian metropolis of San Diego. 9 Visit of the archaeological site of El Vallecito Duration: 01:00 h · Level: El Vallecito is located in a valley near the town of La Rumorosa and offers a remarkable diversity of cave paintings, which cover the ceilings and walls and show stylized humans as well as geometric figures. The small paintings in shades of red, and black and white partly have mystical and religious meanings; they testify to the settlement of ethnic groups such as the Kumeyaay, hunters and gatherers, who had used the rocky shelters for storage and as workshops. During your tour, you can admire the six thematic groups that are open to visitors, among them the so-called “Indian Cave” and the “Rooted Man.” 10 Visit of the Viewpoint at Tijuana's Border Duration: 01:00 h · Level: Easy In the early 1990s, the US government built a fence between San Diego and Tijuana; as a reinforcement of the border, it extends 40 m (45 yds.) into the sea to prevent its bypassing at low tide. Whereas many families from the poor quarters meet in the small park south of the fence, legal and illegal immigrants gather north of it to see and wave to their beloved ones – at least from a distance. There is no other place where the separation of the two worlds is so intensely felt as at these fence posts sprayed with graffiti. 11 Clubbing on the Avenida Revolución in Tijuana Duration: 04:00 h · Level: Medium The city of Tijuana with its Avenida Revolución – a party lane that became famous during the Prohibition in 1919 – is notoriously infamous.
