La Bufadora y Acampar

Last weekend Kyle and I went to see La Bufadora. Its a natural ocean geyser aka blowhole. It was really neat, definitely a huge tourist attraction, but we found a way to hang with some locals and get our own personal lookout spot of the Buffadora! The picture up top is taken from where we were camping. It was a beautiful lookout point, not a camp ground which was perfect for us. We had tried to go to La Joya beach campground and found it to be very displeasing. Hundreds of Mexicans with tents all pushed together in a huge rock hard dirt pit separated from the beach by a fence. There was loud music (that wasn't good), various different smells or different food and not a tree in sight. Needless to say this was not our ideal place so we packed up and headed further down the peninsula towards La Bufadora.

Down at the point we met this guy Ernesto who redirected us to his uncle Nacho's look out point, which is where we ended up
staying. There was nothing there but a clear patch of land to post a tent up on. The view was beautiful and there were plenty of little trails to walk out on, one of which went right down to La Bufadora. We got a clear view without having to be with the crowd of tourists.

At night we decided to head out to dinner. We were able to start a fire at our camp ground but we had no room to bring pots or cooking utensils with us on the scooter. The restaurant was really neat, it had indoor and outdoor seating, and a section that was technically outside but had glass around it to protect you from the ocean breeze. Kyle made friends with their cat Dora.

Right below is a picture of the Bufadora tourist zone taken from up where we were camping. It was neat to hear the music being played and watch all the activity below without actually being in the middle of it.

This last picture was taken by our new friend Ernesto. Traveling light on our little scooter, who would think you could go camping without a car!
