NORTHERN MEXICO - Ajo Stage Line tours offers natural and cultural tours within the Sonoran Desert. Although summer is a poor time to introduce this fine service, I'll recommend interested travelers to contact Bill Nelson at 800-942-1981. Some of the Ajo tours include: Rocky Point, Pinacate Volcanoes and the Kino Missions.
SEA OF CORTES - Clipper Cruise Line offers sightseeing trips in the Sea of Cortes. While not eco tours, they are environmentally responsible voyages which "minimize the conflict between tourism development and the natural environment." The May 8 voyage is completely full and a second trip is planned for November 13. Contact Clipper Cruises at 7711 Bonhomme Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63105. Phone: 800-325-0010
