Whale watching
There are apparently 14 species of whales in the world and 6 of them can be found in Mexican waters exclusively. You can see humpbacks, grays, blues, killers & sperm whales swimming in the Sea of Cortez. The best times to see them are from December - mid-April each year. The humpback whale and the gray whale only visit these latitudes in the breeding season.

Land’s End Arch
At the very tip of the Baja California peninsula is an incredible rock formation knows as "Land's End Arch". It is now known as an iconic landmark and continues to be a must-see for most tourists. Water taxis and glass-bottom lanchas make the journey to this spectacular attraction. Also be sure to admire the natural sculptures that the locals have named: Pelican Rock and Neptune’s Finger among many others nearby.
And while you are visiting The Arch don’t miss:

Lovers Beach or Playa del Amor
"This small but charming beach is located north to the Arch. The uniqueness of being bathed by two seas deserves a place on your list. The gentle waves the beach receives from the Sea of Cortez are in contrast with the breaking, irruptive waves coming from the Pacific —curiously enough, this side of Lovers Beach is known as the Divorce Beach."

Underwater Sand Falls
The Sand Falls are a natural phenomenon is caused by the friction between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates and by the contrast between the temperatures of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. If you are an experienced diver, you cannot afford to miss them on your next visit. They are more than 30 metres deep, so not for a new or learning diver sadly, but exciting all the same.

Off-road Experiences
Did you know that the Baja California peninsula plays host to the world’s longest off-road race known as the Baja 1000, which runs just over 1,050 miles between the port cities of Ensenada and La Paz? You can find everything from ATV’s desert excursions to high-speed tours in Los Cabos.

Todos Santos
Charming from every perspective, Todos Santos must be on the list of places to visit when you travel to this area. It is located between the arid desert of Baja California, the Sierra de la Laguna and the Mexican Pacific, and stands out for its artistic and cultural atmosphere. Take a tour of the gallery to admire the works of local and world artists, or plan a day at the beach to sample delicacies from the sea, and surf at Playa Cerritos, or simply sunbathe in Palm Beach.
Of note, the state of Baja California Sur has received the “Safe Travels” stamp granted by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and has slowly started welcoming guests back to this wonderful area of the world.
