Baja California Sur is a state in Mexico, its
estimated population was 463,500 people. The magnificent Baja California peninsula is divided into the two states of
Baja California and Baja California Sur - north and south. The state capital is La Paz.
It includes the
resort areas of Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, La Paz, Loreto, Rosarito, San Felipe,
San Jose Del Cabo, and Buena Vista - to name a few of the larger ones.
Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, Baja Sur boasts two of North
America's most unique and ecologically endowed regions: the rich Sea of Cortez,
known as the most biologically rich body of water on earth and the rugged,
pristine Baja Peninsula.
The two most popular places in Baja California Sur, La Paz and Cabo San
Lucas, both showcase the brilliance of the area, the former offering a tranquil
and serene escape and the latter perfect for such activities as sport fishing
and scuba diving. The seafood here is incredible, ranging from lobster and clams
to shark and sardines, plus delicacies like porgy, dorado and cabrilla. Baja Sur
also offers centuries of history, with petroglyphs on the walls of canyons,
whose origins trace back to before the first known inhabitants of the area.
There are also old missions still in operation that date back to the 18th
century. And of course, beautiful lagoons, bays, ocean and beaches with crystal
blue waters and fine sand. An oasis of natural beauty and history, Baja
California Sur is a place that everyone should go at least once, undoubtedly to
be returned to again and again.
A place whose name is legendary for earthly paradise, Baja California Sur is
a magical place with a diversity of landscape and wealth of regional color that
distinguishes it, yet also unites it with the rest of Mexico. Whether you’re
enjoying the brilliance of the sunsets on the red slopes La Giganta or whale
watching off the coast of the Guerrero Negro desert, Baja California offers
something for everyone. True to everything that a Mexican desert might connote,
the sierra of Baja offers long stretches of straight roads that seem to lead
nowhere, set across a backdrop of warmly hued mountains, tropical flora and a
bright, blue sky.
