Reserva de la Biosfera del Vizcaino

Reviewed By Fearless730216 - Long Beach, United States

What a magical place this is. The Grey Whales were plentiful and friendly. We went with Malarrimo whale watching and our captain, Samuel, seemed to be a magnet for the whales! What a wonderful experience!

We had a great time staying at Rancho Cactimar. The ranch is located in the heart of nature away from everything making it the perfect peaceful place to relax and enjoy the desert and the sea! The views are breathtaking. Horseriding at sunset over the beach and sand dunes was absolutely amazing. Jean and Marjorie are lovely and warm people; they took good care of us and made sure our stay was perfect!

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.

Malecon

Beachside shopping street, providing you with spectacular views of the palm tree - lined beach as you browse through shops and restaurants.

Reviewed By ChicagoColorado - Longmont, United States

I love La Paz's Malecon. When you walk along the Malecon, you are absorbed into Mexico, surrounded by local families taking walks, groups of friends chatting, joggers running after (or before) work, young folks skating along on roller skates or boards.. The Malecon is broad enough to accommodate these various activities The Malecon is actually a stone tile walkway, several miles in length, along the city's waterfront. On one side, the Ensenada de la La Paz, sprinkled with small boats, pelicans, herons, terns, gulls. On the other side, a variety of eateries. I find this area so relaxing. A place to be a tourist without feeling like one.

Rancho Collins

Offers horseback tours of the spectacular desert landscape.

Reviewed By trishtci - Austin, United States

Our ride was arranged through our concierge at Paradisus which is where the ride begins/ends. Our first ride was an 0800 ride with Jorge who took made sure we had optimal opportunities for pictures of our ride with spectacular backdrops. The horses were well behaved and spunky for our group of three riders. We opted for a 1 hr ride that morning going east from the hotel and enjoyed the narrative by Jorge along the way. We booked an additional ride 1 1/2 the next morning and headed west toward CSL along the beach and enjoyed seeing the bat rays jumping as we rode along. Again the horses were well behaved and energetic. If you are an experienced rider there are opportunities to go at your own pace. We booked these rides as private rides for just the three of us but group rides are available as well. Would loved to have done one more! PS if you have a buffet be sure to bring an apple for your mount for the end of the ride! Long pants and shoes recommended

Church of Saint Luke

A popular church built in the early 1700's.

Reviewed By C5293QDmicheleb

We have been coming to Cabo for the past decade and we always attend mass here. It’s welcoming and they offer bilingual masses. The streets are closed on Sunday mornings for the families it’s a beautiful time to explore the area and visit the recently renovated Viva La Plaza
