I hope that in the coming year I will be able to bring you more information on the progress being made in the formation of the new Municipality of San Felipe. The pandemic has caused disruptions in every phase of life here and the municipalization is no exception.

Borders closed to tourism for 1 more month

27 September 2021

The US, Mexico and Canada border closure to non-essential travel and tourism has been extended till “at least 21 October”. At this point, it looks as though we will have to wait until the USA re-opens borders for International Travel in November.

Tourists from California and elsewhere are, in fact, cautiously coming to the Baja resorts. There can be disincentives, like 3-4 hour waits to get beck to California, but most people are worried about breaking a federal regulation. One suggestion is to get a teeth-cleaning or filling replaced while here in San Felipe. Medical and dental visits qualify as “essential travel”.

Baja California hopes to re-open for international tourism soon

4 September 2021

Since March of 2020, the borders between Canada, the United States and Mexico have officially been closed to tourism and non-essential travel because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now that mass vaccination campaigns have been conducted, authorities have started discussions on the re-opening of the borders. For the US-Mexico border, this could take place as early as 21 September 2021.

However, we are now seeing countries around the world re-imposing travel restrictions as the Delta variation of the Covid19 virus is spreading rapidly. It is critical to remember that every new, unvaccinated, person that gets the virus is a potential “factory” for the virus to mutate and cause other, possibly more infectious variations to start circulating in the population.
