BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, LA PAZ, LOS CABOS AND BEYOND.

BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR.

A destination of colorful contrasts, from the blues of the Sea of Cortez to the breathtaking sunsets on the dry desert.

Separated from the rest of Mexico by the Sea of Cortez (also called the Gulf of California), Baja California Sur hosts some of the Top tourist destinations in the World featuring the best resorts and attractions for the most demanding traveler.

 

Sport fishing

 

Baja California Sur has long been recognized as one of the top destinations in the world for big game fishing. There are hundreds of fishing vessels waiting to take you where the Sea of Cortés meets the Pacific, in a tumult of marlin and swordfish, Wahoo, Dorado and yellowtail, snapper, cabrilla, corvina and roosterfish. No other destination in the world can rival Cabo San Lucas for the number and variety of fish caught year round; most of these creatures of the deep are caught every year and then released to fight another day.

Cabo San Lucas is known as the "Marlin Capital of the World" and deservedly so, as there are more marlin caught here than any other place on earth.

 

Whale-Watching

Between January and March, stunning gray whales migrate from the Bering Strait to the Pacific coast of Baja. The main whale-watching spots are Laguna San Ignacio (on the Pacific, near San Ignacio), Bahía Magdalena (on the Pacific, near Puerto Lopez Mateos -- about a 2-hr. drive from La Paz).

 

 

Snorkeling with Baja's Sea Lions

LOS CABOS.

 

Los Cabos is a municipality located at the southern tip of the state of Baja California Sur. Blessed with a perfect climate it is here the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortés come together creating a rich marine eco-system unrivaled in diversity and beauty.

Los cabos encompasses the towns of Cabo San Lucas (at the southern tip) and San José del Cabo (to the northeast) as well as the Resort Corridor that lies between the two boasting luxurious world-class hotels and golf resorts defined by the azure blue and turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortés, rugged cliffs, quiet coves teeming with marine life.

 

Cabo San Lucas known for its white sand beaches and its famous "Arco", a natural rock formation in the shape of a perfect arch at the southernmost tip of the Peninsula adjacent to Playa Del Amor (Lover’s Beach) offers a great nightlife full of excellent restaurants and nightclubs and a variety of attractions, including The Marina, which features 380 slips accommodating vessels up to 200 feet, along with boasting one of the highest quality of services and amenities expected at luxury yachting marinas.

 

San Jose del Cabo is a colorful colonial town reminiscent of an older time. However, its attractions are just as desirable as the more upbeat Cabo San Lucas. The Old Jesuit Mission, known as Parroquia San José, has a history dating back to the 1730's, and The Estero, an estuary with an endless variety of colorful birds and wildlife are just two of the town’s many attractions.
