Baja, Mexico Fly Fishing
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of documentation do I need to enter Mexico?
A valid US/Canadian passport or a US/Canadian birth certificate
(original - not a copy) with a photo ID is needed. Non-US/Canadian
citizens will need to obtain a visa from the Mexican consulate nearest
them. Minor children under the age of 18 will need notarized written
permission from the other parent when traveling with one parent,
or from both parents when traveling without either parent.
What time do I have to arrive at the
airport?
Most airlines require check-in at least 2 hours before flight time
for international flights. We also suggest you re-check your departure
time with the carrier at least 72 hours prior to leaving.
How much baggage can I check in?
Most airlines will allow each passenger to check in two bags per
passenger with each bag weighing a maximum of 50 pounds plus a carry
on.
How do I get from the airport to Rancho Leonero?
Taxi's are readily available at the airport. Rental cars are
also available.
What should I pack?
Almost everywhere in Mexico the atmosphere and dress is casual with
t-shirts and shorts being the uniform of the day. For evening attire
to a local restaurant, tropical shirt, shorts or pants and tennis
shoes for men and a blouse and shorts or sundress and sandals for
women is fine. We suggest you bring sunscreen, hat, sunglasses,
swimsuits, camera, film, toiletries, prescription medication, snack
foods, etc.

60's in the mornings to 70's during the day; Spring: 60's in the
mornings to 80's during the day; Summer: 70's in the mornings to
100's during the day; Fall: 70's in the mornings to 90's during

Can I drink the water?
Rancho Leonero's natural well produces excellent drinking water
and is piped throughout the resort making the drinking water safe.
What types of entertainment are available?
The East Cape's pristine beauty and isolation are one of the main
reasons why we are like "old Mexico". There are several
restaurants catering to tourists in the area, offering a wide range
of cuisine comparable to any of the world's fine resort areas, but
no nightclubs or other nighttime entertainment. Nighttime excursions
to Cabo San Lucas or La Paz can be arranged at the front desk.
Can I use my credit card or write personal checks?
Personal checks, MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover
cards are accepted by the Reel Baja. Please remember to bring sufficient
cash for any incidentals not included in the all-inclusive package.
What is the exchange rate and can I use US Dollars?
Currently the exchange rate is about 11 Pesos per 1 US Dollar. Most
all businesses in the Los Cabos area will accept US Dollars [generally
at a slightly reduced exchange rate]. The resort accepts US Dollars
and Mexican Pesos. Please note we cannot accept Canadian Dollars.
Can I phone home from Mexico?
Yes, most tourist areas have phones for calling the USA [most are
credit card or collect calls only]. Please keep in mind that these
phones are very expensive [$5 to $8 per minute]. The front desk
at Leonero has a phone available for guests - calls to the USA can
be made for about $2 per minute.
