As morning light floods your room, begin your day with a delightful breakfast at the hotel, fueling up for the excitement ahead. Your exploration commences with a pick-up between 09:30 and 10:00 am, leading you on an enchanting city tour that delves into the rich tapestry of La Paz's cultural and historical landmarks.
Venture through the charming streets of the city centre, where each corner whispers stories of the past. Marvel at the grandeur of the Catedral de La Paz, discovering the city's spiritual heritage amidst its neoclassical splendour. Engage with local artisans and their crafts, encapsulating the spirit of Baja California Sur at the Centro de ArtesanÃas Sudcalifornianas—a treasure trove of regional artistry.
Next, journey to the famed Playa Balandra, where the soft, white sands and tranquil, crystal-clear waters invite you to embrace the natural beauty of this protected area. Here, the iconic Balandra mushroom—a rock formation sculpted by wind and waves—stands as a sentinel to the serene surroundings.
Conclude your coastal experience at Playa El Tecolote, where a restaurant lunch awaits, embellishing the seaside ambiance with local flavours. Relish in the leisurely afternoon, perhaps taking a dip in the inviting sea or resting on the beach, as you reflect on the discoveries of the day.
As the sun dips towards the horizon, your journey returns to La Paz, where another restful night in your cozy hotel beckons, the memories of the day still vivid and enchanting.
Day 3 : Espiritu Santo Island Escapade
Location: La Paz
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
With the fresh sea air setting a refreshing tone, your day begins early after a satisfying hotel breakfast. Pickup from your hotel between 09:30 and 10:00 am ushers you into an aquatic adventure at the shimmering Sea of Cortez.
Your courteous transfer brings you to the embarkation zone, where a lancha awaits to voyage across sapphire waters to the majestic Espiritu Santo Island. Just 33 kilometres from La Paz, this island is a jewel of natural beauty, offering a kaleidoscope of red rock formations against the turquoise sea and vibrant sunsets.
The guided tour promises an intimate mingling with the island's abundant biodiversity. In the company of playful sea lions, immerse yourself in the underwater world with provided snorkelling gear, and float alongside these marine mammals (outside the restricted months of June to August). Feast your eyes on the palette of coral reefs, multicoloured fish, and perhaps even spot some of the island's 98 recorded bird species.
The spellbinding Ensenada Grande beach is your slice of paradise for relaxation. Here, a delicious lunch of fresh ceviche, sandwiches, and refreshing beverages will be served amidst the serene backdrop of the Sea of Cortez.
As the day unwinds and you head back to the main island, La Paz welcomes you once more with open arms. Rest and reminisce in your hotel, as the ocean's lullabies promise yet another night of peaceful slumber.
Day 4 : Los Cabos: From Artisan Villages To Iconic Arches

Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
An energizing breakfast sets the tone for an early start; prepare for an expedition to the offbeat and the iconic. Begin your journey with a comfortable ride from La Paz as you're greeted by the soft hues of dawn. Set off between 08:00 and 08:30 am towards the artistic haven of Todos Santos—a Pueblo Mágico that brims with creative appeal.
In Todos Santos, be enveloped by the eclectic charm of this coastal village. Discover the legendary Hotel California, its legacy entwined with music lore. Amid cobbled streets, let your curiosity lead you to hidden corners where artisan shops showcase a mosaic of local crafts and where art galleries frame the town’s vibrant spirit.
Progressing to Cabo San Lucas, world-renowned for its luxury and natural splendour, you’ll embark on a distinctive boating experience. The glass-bottom vessel offers a lens into the aquatic wonders below as you glide towards the grand Arch of Los Cabos—an emblematic rock formation guarding the seascape.
Following your maritime exploration, the culinary aromas of a local restaurant welcome you to enjoy a fulfilling meal. Relish the authentic flavours as you dine on regional cuisine, an indulgence that complements the day's experiences.
No less captivating is San José del Cabo, where you'll absorb the quaint beauty of its mission and plazas. Linger among the expressive art and handiwork of the Huichol people before finishing the day with a tantalizing tequila tasting—discovering the nuanced craft behind Mexico's famous spirit (for those of age, of course).
As twilight beckons, your return drive weaves back through Todos Santos, escorting you to your La Paz lodging with a heart full of wonders and a camera full of memories. Another serene night in your hotel awaits, as the excitement of your Baja adventure steadily simmers into dreams.
