8-Day Exploration of Baja Sur’s Natural Landscapes and Community Culture

To begin the day, get involved with local conservation teams at your choice of project: coral restoration and snorkeling with a Baja non-profit, or traditional cultivation techniques with oysters, crabs, and starfish at a pearl cultivation laboratory. The day continues with a visit to La Paz's Whale Museum, followed by guide recommendations for lunch (not included). Optionally, take a guided walk around La Paz's downtown boardwalk, markets, and Mi Ciudad Mural Project, before a private transfer to your hotel.

Journey along the Pacific coast to the fishing village of Puerto Chale (2.5-hour drive) and board a private boat with your naturalist guide. Head out to explore the mangroves and southern portion of Magdalena Bay, searching for the migrating gray whales that come to mate and calve. Enjoy lunch and drinks before the return drive to La Paz.

Take a boat excursion from La Paz Bay to the UNSECO-listed Espíritu Santo Island. Guided by your private naturalist, hike one of eight marked trails - from light scenic walks to longer treks - with sweeping views over the Gulf of California. The day flows between a picnic lunch, snorkeling in clear waters, and (outside the June-August mating season) an in-water visit to the island's playful sea lion colony.
