Mulege
Mulegé, approximately an hours drive from the the Loreto international Airport is world famous for its rich fishing grounds in the Sea of Cortez. A warm current from the southern and a cold current from the northern Pacific come together in the Mulegé area of the Sea of Cortez and encourage a great variety of different fish species. The Sea is named after the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés.
In the past Mulegé made its living mostly from fishing and from farming. Today tourism is a major income source for Mulegé. Some come for the area's deep sea fishing. Kayaking, cave tours and bird watching, and fishing, with or without charters to catch a big game fish, are popular attractions.
The official name of the town is "Heroica Mulegé." This title is based on incidents during the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. The Americans tried to occupy long stretches of the Pacific coast such as California, Baja California, and New Mexico, all of which were then part of Mexico. The people of Mulegé and surrounding settlements along the Pacific coastline defeated the 'Gringos.' As a result Mulegé was not occupied and was rewarded the official title "Heroica Mulegé" by the national legislature. In the 21st century, official letters of the Government of Baja California Sur retain use of the title, "Heroica Mulegé."
The Mission, founded in 1705, is one of the most famous attractions in Mulegé. It is located high above the river, overlooking the entire river valley.The caves in the 'Sierra de Guadalupe' near Mulegé with extensive ancient cave paintings are worth a visit, as are the caves in the 'Sierra de San Borjita' and La Trinidad.
A special feature of the town is the old prison. It was erected without bars. The prisoners could freely walk around town and establish or maintain families here. They just had to return to the prison in the evening. Escapes were rare because of the remoteness of Mulegé. Until Mex 1 was paved, the area was surrounded by harsh desert for many miles. All prisoners had to agree to assist in tracking any escapist and assist in their capture. Today, the old prison is operated as a museum, with a suggested nominal entry fee.
