Eagle Monument, 28th Parallel
Monumento al Águila, Paralelo 28
A giant steel eagle monument on the border between the states of Baja California Sur and Baja California, where the 28th parallel crosses. A roadside stop on Highway 1.
This steel monument, about 40 metres tall, was completed in the 1970s. Its abstract eagle shape marks the opening of Federal Highway 1 and the boundary between Baja California Sur and Baja California, at the 28th parallel north. There is a checkpoint when crossing the state border, and note that the two states are one hour apart in time zone. There is a flagpole plaza around the monument where you can stop briefly for photos. It is about 5 km from the centre of Guerrero Negro.
