Stay In La Paz

Persimmon ridges slide off gently in to tourquise seas, clear and bright in the light of afternoon Baja afternoon sun.

Walk the streets to a handful of historic sites and brush up on your anthropology at the Museo Regional de Antropologia e Historia.

Whales have long been one of the Baja Peninsula's most popular attractions, and the Museo Comunitario de Ballena (Community Whale Museum) pays homage to their long voyage down from the north.

Frosty white coves rim the desert landscape, perfect for a late-day rest after hours of snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. Don't miss an encounter with sea lions on the Isla Espiritu Santo, accessible on a day trip out of La Paz.

Head out to sea with a charter fishing boat and try to lure in dinner, or stay shore-side and brave the blinding colors of a Baja sunset.
