Loreto Bay National Marine Park

This park works to preserve Loreto's desert ecosystem.

Reviewed By Dahlyana

My husband and I recently visited Loreto, Mexico and it was a wonderful visit. We did some sight seeing on our own but also used the tour company of Wild Loreto for an all day tour to the Pacific to see the gray whales and their calves. It was awesome and our tour guide, Chalio, was wonderful. He knew when the whales were getting ready to come up and we had our cameras ready. We liked our tour to the see the whales with Chalio so much that we decided to take another tour to Coronado Island that is in the National Marine National Park in Loreto Bay in order to see more marine life! Marine life we saw in all its glory; we saw sea lions, all sorts of birds including the blue footed booby, dolphins, and had a beautiful hike on a clean and well marked trail that revealed millions of years of geologic activity. All stunning and Chalio was a wonderful guide. I hope Loreto Bay stays protected as the ecological wonder that it is.

Had a wonderful hour taxi ride trip, great guide who told us the history of Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach, showed us the sea lions and made sure we saw Pedro the sea lion on the ride back!

Stopped in during the Thursday art walk and whilst exploring the truly lovely and interesting art and grounds, we found ourselves having a great chat with Frank and his wife. There are a few sculptures i have my eye on and I am very keen to return for Christmas holidays!

Mt. Solmar

Reviewed By travlngal2015

Hubby, friend and I decided to try the climb on our own only to discover a wonderful person named, Enrique. Enrique took our group up the mountain but unfortunately my husband and I got separated from the group and was solo. Enrique did discover us as we made our way down. My recommendations are to wear good footwear, hat, sunscreen and bring water or an electrolyte type drink. Enrique offers this climb every morning at 9:30. He doesn't charge for being your guide, and tips are optional. TIP the Man! He was my savior that day and saved my a**. He is also a dog trainer and the tips help out with food expenses, etc. LOVE You Enrique ! You are the man!

Ensenada Grande

Reviewed By katarzynac843 - Larkspur, United States

Was lucky to get there with Selkie Travels- after exiting snorkelling with Sea lions we got to this beach for lunch - it was the most breathtaking beach I have seen- sand is white and water is so super blue- it was worth every penny - make sure you save a day for this trip as it is not close from La Paz and all depends on weather as well — so book it and enjoy the raw beauty of Baja

Malecon

This surfside avenue is Loreto's center for peoplewatching, by day and night.

Reviewed By K1488OSkevins - San Diego, United States

I would visit this place any time. Much better than La Paz!! Very clean and touristy with so much history. Nice people and very relaxing quiet city on an isolated type of beach. The city is a great place to visit with some beautiful churches and missions with so much Mexican culture here. We could not believe how well the city was kept up and taken care of for some many years. Really cool place to visit.

Cabo Pulmo Marine Preserve

A sanctuary to the only living coral reef on the western side of the continent.

Reviewed By N-WALES-TRAVELLER - Rhuddlan, United Kingdom

We travelled in a mini rental vehicle on the dirt roads that lead south from La Ribera towards San Jose Del Cabo via Cabo Pulmo and a host of other small settlements. It’s an arduous journey in a standard small vehicle ???? but after seeing the beaches the bird life and most of all the numerous breaching humpback whales ???? from the coastline it was a road trip of a life time. You really need a 4x4 but our little car managed it with a gold star. ( probably more to do with the driver ????) I’d recommend it to all as it was simply an amazing drive. ****Word if warning***** Don’t attempt this in a normal vehicle if it’s been raining or in the dark. You won’t make it. Give yourself a good 6 hours to complete the journey
