La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, blends the serenity of a coastal town with the extraordinary natural wealth of the Sea of Cortez—dubbed “the aquarium of the world” by Jacques Cousteau. This gem of northwestern Mexico is the perfect gateway for travelers seeking authentic experiences, breathtaking marine landscapes, and a deep connection with biodiversity.
Nestled between desert mountains and the sea, La Paz is home to dreamlike beaches such as Balandra—famous for its iconic mushroom-shaped rock and crystal-clear turquoise waters—and Tecolote, perfect for sunbathing or watersports. From this location, you can embark on excursions to swim with sea lions at Espíritu Santo Island, kayak through mangroves, or enjoy sunsets that paint the sky in gold, pink, and orange.
Beyond its natural beauty, La Paz is a city with soul. Its scenic seaside promenade (malecón), stretching over 5 kilometers, is lined with stunning sculptures by local and international artists, offering a peaceful space for walking, biking, or savoring Baja cuisine. Taste traditional ceviche, chocolate clams, smoked marlin tacos, and other dishes made from the freshest local seafood.
Arriving in La Paz by helicopter transforms your journey into an adventure itself. From the sky, you’ll witness the vastness of the desert, the colorful gradients of the Sea of Cortez, and the rugged rock formations that define the peninsula. Whether as a final destination or a stop along your route through Baja California Sur, La Paz welcomes you with warmth, local charm, and views that will stay etched in your memory.
