Rift Oasis

The peninsula is tearing away and the heat sits close to the surface. Cerro Prieto is the show: mud and fumaroles from 85 to 95 °C, on pavement, beside Mexicali. Guadalupe is the oasis, from 35 to 40 °C, with camping at the end of a dirt road. Puertecitos ends on the beach, between 60 and 70 °C: you visit, you do not bathe.

• Cerro Prieto and Puertecitos are not soaks. The only one to enter is Guadalupe, and you sleep there in camp.
• Guadalupe is a dirt-road canyon. Do it in daylight and do not stack Puertecitos on the same day.
• Geiseres de Cerro Prieto to Oasis Cañón de Guadalupe is 3 h 26 min of driving. Better to end the day before you set off.
• Oasis Cañón de Guadalupe to Aguas Termales de Puertecitos is 6 h 50 min of driving. Better to end the day before you set off.
