Offers of Guided Tours Baja California Sur

Take a journey to paradise! In the country's northwest corner, Baja California Sur offers a diverse range of tourism options, allowing you to experience something unique and visit the places you desire. This state has become a popular destination for travellers seeking an exotic location that guarantees an abundance of adventure.

This peninsula, flanked by the waters of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific, will provide you with many beaches and natural wonders and the only thing you will need is time to experience Baja California Sur and its many attractions.

To help organise your tour and prioritise the activities you want to do, we've put up a list of places so you can get a sense of what's in store for you on your next vacation:

What to do in Baja California Sur?

- Nature tours: Immerse yourself in nature and learn about the various ecosystems this state offers. For example, we recommend visiting the Vizcaino Desert which you can go to at any time of year and depart from Guerrero Negro to see large groups of birds and peninsular pronghorns, an ideal activity for families.

On the other hand, don't miss a tour to La Paz's snake sanctuary and serpentarium, where you can see more than a dozen different varieties of rattlesnakes. Don't miss a trip to the Sierra de la Giganta mountain range, which departs from Loreto and allows you to savour the scenery while getting away from the city.

- Historical trips to Baja California Sur's major cities: The famed city tours in each of the state's major cities are not to be missed. Tour the capital (La Paz) with a guide who will tell you all about the city's history and take you on a walk along the Malecon, which offers a spectacular view of the bay. Next, they will take you to view the Cathedral, which has two large towers and is ornamented with pink quarry stone.

Loreto is another place worth visiting, where tours with durations ranging from 3 to 8 hours are available. To give you an idea of some of the attractions included in the itinerary, you will see missions, established by the Jesuits. These are steeped in history and have beautiful designs, such as the San Javier Mission, which is nestled between massive gorges and offers breathtaking views.

- Cabo San Lucas Tour: As one of the most relevant and popular sites internationally, we recommend devoting at least 1 or 2 full days to this trip. Here, you will find guided tours around the city including visits to a blown glass factory, tequila tasting in bars and a trip to an old tuna packing plant. This will surely include extra services such as a boat ride to visit the famous Arch, Playa del Amor and the sea lion colony.

- Magical Towns Tour: As if that wasn't enough, Baja California Sur is surrounded by charming towns, which you should add to your list of locations to visit. A half-day journey to Mulegé, for example, will include a visit to the Santa Luca Mission, a veritable oasis in the desert. Playa las Cocos and Bahia de la Concepción are also worth seeing.

Another town to remember is Todos Santos, especially if you are a fan of the famous band 'The Eagles,' because it is home to the iconic Hotel California. You should make sure that whatever tour you choose to see the town includes this stop. You can walk through the colourful streets of Todos Santos, where you will notice a distinct Mexican vibe, and don't forget to enjoy the local cuisine.

The last piece of advice we can provide you is that once you've decided on a tour or visit, you need be mindful of where you start from because, as a peninsula, Baja California Sur is located on vertical routes, so distances will be a bit long. This does not imply that it is difficult to access. Rather, we suggest planning accordingly.

When is the best time to plan my vacation to Baja California Sur?

Any time of year is the answer! The weather on the peninsula is typically warm and pleasant, with rain rarely interfering with your activities. The one restriction is that if you want to see the whales in addition to taking a guided trip, you must schedule your vacation between December and April.
