Go whale-watching in Magdalena Bay, where California Grey Whales migrate every year to mate and bear their young during the winter months. These gentle giants travel from the Bering Sea to the bay's mangrove-lined lagoons, which are home to hundreds of species of birds, including pelicans and snowy egrets. Or, catch a wave at Todos Santos, a surfing destination with a thriving community of painters and sculptors.
Visit the historic Mission of Nuestra Senora del Pilar del La Paz (Our Lady of the Pillar of Peace). Originally founded in 1723, it became the Mission of Santa Rosa de Todos Santos in 1733. Or, trek by foot or horseback into the desert hills to discover towering cardón, the world's largest cactus, which can grow to a stunning 60 feet. More than 4,000 plants thrive in this ecosystem and countless coyotes, foxes, pumas and bighorn sheep make their homes here.
Camp out at the Punta Coyote and San Evaristo beaches, or head into the Sierra de la Laguna, which was declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1994, and where you can catch a glimpse of fast-moving lizards and roadrunners. In the higher altitudes, discover the oaks and pines that thrive in the cooler climates.
Kite board or windsurf in Los Barriles, where winter winds make this the ideal spot to zip through the sea alongside sandy beaches. Become a part of the colorful display of sails soaring by, or sit seaside and enjoy the display of adventurous acrobats. Immerse yourself in the countless eco-tourism opportunities offered in La Paz, take advantage of the wonders of the Sea of Cortez, and create lasting memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
