The Marina at Villa Julieta,
and Baja's Nautical Route :

The Escalera Nautica will set up a network of 22 tourism ports: ten new ports to be built at Cabo Colnett, Puerto Canoa, San Luis Gonzaga, Santa Rosalillita and Bahia de los Angeles, in the state of Baja California, Bahia de Tortuga, Punta Abreojos and San Juanico, in Baja California Sur, Bahia Kino, in Sonora, and Altata, in Sinaloa; enlargement of seven ports in San Carlos and San Felipe, in Baja California, Loreto, Mulege and Santa Rosalia, in Baja California Sur, Puerto Peñasco, in Sonora, and Topolobampo, in Sinaloa; incorporation of five ports at Ensenada, in Baja California, Cabo San Lucas, and Laz Paz, in Baja California Sur, Guaymas, in Sonora, and Mazatlan, in Sinaloa.

 

The Nautical Route will include four roads to bring in boat trailers, twenty airports and airfields, and an 80-mile overland road linking Santa Rosalillita, on the Pacific Ocean, with Bahia de los Angeles, in the Sea of Cortez, in order to spare tourists from the American Southwest the trouble of "sailing around the southern tip of Baja California. " (quotes are from the glossy brochure, Fonatur's February 21 press release and the project's executive summary).

Fonatur anticipates that if Mexico creates "the nautical, highway and airport infrastructure," the American owners of 52,000 boats will sail them to Mexico or park them in the Sea of Cortes . More ambitious predictions state that by 2010, 76,400 boats will visit us, from among the 1,650,000 currently registered in the southwestern United States. The project will transform the Baja Californias into one huge tourist destination-peninsula. Such a project will include hotels and golf courses along with every conceivable tourist-related amenity readily available.
