“The Baja Essentials Guide also stresses border prep. Passport, FMM tourist permit, vehicle insurance—check!—and it notes that in Baja proper, you don’t need import permits, which is helpful since that’s easy to overthink. Vehicle-wise, the article wisely says any decent rental works on main roads, but if you want hidden beaches or remote spots, a 4×4 is clutch. That nuance really helps balance expectations—Baja isn’t only glam, it’s real-deal adventure. Plus, local driving tips—like flashing hazards for hazards or cows on the road, ditching travel after dark—are pure gold.”
