Drinking (Don't drink the tap water!).
Please don't drink, prepare foods, or brush your teeth with tap water during your stay. We provide a small supply of complimentary water and usually have extra (for purchase if it's a large amount). Gaby's is closeby and a good place for large container refills. Next to Calimax, the big grocery store in Puerto Nuevo, there is a "water store" offering pure drinking water and ice (available as regular or alkaline). You will find these water stores in almost every village along the free road (Libre) México 1 -- not to be confused with the toll-road México 1D (Cuoto).

Driving.
México 1D (Cuoto) is the "toll road" to La Misión. There are two tolls ($2 US or slightly more) between Tijuana and the La Fonda exit. The toll road is well-lit and the road is in good condition -- watch for potholes and rough sections at entrances and exits.

Services onsite and around town
Aromatherapy and AromaTouch. You will experience aromatherapy during your stay as your host is an essential oils educator and expert who uses them in all aspects of healthy living. She is certified in the therapeutic AromaTouch Technique® combining human touch therapy with the application of essential oils to the spine, head, and feet (a modified version, the Hand Technique, is also available). The essential oils used in AromaTouch were specifically selected for their aromatic properties and wellness benefits. When used together, these essential oils activate oxytocin, the "hug" hormone, and help create balance and a state of homeostasis. Click here to learn more.
“The AromaTouch Technique was developed to maximize the benefits of essential oils. Its powerful benefits can be effectively delivered equally well by both the novice essential oil enthusiast and the professional health practitioner.” – Dr. David K. Hill.

Nature & art experience. Ask about our friends that offer nature and artsy experiences during your stay. Whether a stroll along the natural estuary to explore native plants, birds, wildlife on land and in the water.
Hike up one of our small mountains, enjoy a beach walk and picnic, or a day gathering local flora, fauna, funga from the sea and land for sun-dying natural fabrics to take home. We can help arrange a tour of Popota where we will visit artisan shops and art galleries and stop for a coffee, cold drink, or snack.
Massage therapy & energy work. We are pleased to refer you to one or two of the many excellent massage therapists nearby or in the village of La Misión with studios and some traveling that will come to you!
Other services. Treat yourself to a pedicure, manicure, or other spa service from the famous La Fonda (pedicure special on Wednesdays). Our village of La Misión offers a network of traveling spa service providers too - just ask - a massage on our beautiful patio is sure to be an amazing experience.
Yoga, meditation, and adventure at the ready. Kundalini yoga (some Saturdays) is available onsite plus there is a yoga studio and gym just down the road. If you are more on the adventurous side, we can connect you with the local parasailing, surfing lessons, kayaking on the estuary, horseback riding, ziplining, and dune buggy off-roading on the sand dunes.
Shopping and food. Along the road and in the village of La Misión you will find Gaby's and several other family-owned fruit stands and grocers plus taco shops, small restaurants, and other shops. We have three farmer's markets in La Misión (believe it or not): Monday Market near Magania's restaurant, Thursday at the Yoga Gym, and Saturday at the Del Valle Cafe and Archer's Pizza shopping center.

Travel tips
Passports are recommended but not required if you are a resident of the US with a valid state driver's license. More specific tips and information about border crossing into Mexico and back to the US are included in our guide, Ola! (available for free download after you reserve your stay).
Get there by air and car. San Diego International Airport is about 1.5 hours drive. Take I-5 south where you will cross the border into Tijuana, MX. Using the Scenic 1D, you will avoid the city traffic and the views are spectacular.
If you're in Mexico or flying internationally, fly into Tijuana International Airport (you cannot fly direct to Tijuana from the United States).

México 1 (Libre) is the "free road" (no tolls). It's a good option for a scenic drive during daylight hours (not recommended at night as it's poorly lit with twists and turns and lots of "ALTO" stop signs. Please be watchful as the ALTO stop signs often sneak up on you and are sometimes hard to see.

Travel with essential oils. Pack full-sized 5-15mL bottles in your checked luggage. Be sure to prepare some sample bottles to keep in your pocket or carry on luggage. They can calm travel nerves, motion sickness, and help keep you protected from germs on surfaces and in the air, while you're in the air!
