Trip Overview: Rancho Hermosa Orphanage is 3 miles inland from the coastal town of Primo Tapia, Baja, about 30 minutes from the border. Nearby towns are Puerto Nuevo and La Mision. We will stay in comfortable dorms in Primo Tapia and drive to the orphanage to work. When the Phase #1 building is complete we can accept children by the end of this year – so we are working hard!
