Australian brothers Jake, 30, and Callum Robinson, 33, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, disappeared without a trace in the Baja California region in Mexico over the weekend.
Callum's last social media posts, uploaded to his Instagram story, give insight into the group's last known whereabouts in the area.
Several images shows them in Rosarito Beach, where they were believed to be surfing and camping. The group reportedly planned on moving on to Ensenada, where they failed to check in an Airbnb on Sunday.

A check of the vehicle's VIN reportedly identified it as belonging to one of the three missing surfers.
'... and it begins,' Callum wrote on the image of the pickup truck at the beach, alongside an emoji of the Mexican flag at the start of the doomed trip.
Police also say they found three abandoned tents south of Ensenada, with local media reporting that blood was found on them.
Callum also shared images of Jake and Rhoad and of the sights they were exploring.
The trio had been actively sharing images of their trip until Sunday - and no one has heard of them since Saturday.
Local police have arrested three people in connection the their disappearance, including a 23-year-old Mexican woman who reportedly was discovered in possession of a mobile phone belonging to one of the brothers, along with methamphetamine.
Two men, also Mexican, were also arrested as part of the investigation, said Baja California’s chief public prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez.
It is understood police were able to make the arrests after one of the brothers' mobile phones was turned back on, and pinged a local mobile tower.
'A working team (of investigators) is at the site where they were last seen, where tents and other evidence was found that could be linked to these three people we have under investigation,' Andrade Ramírez said.
