La Paz

La Paz is the capital of the state of Baja California Sur and is known for its warm people and beautiful beaches.

This authentic mexican city has been rated as one of the safest in Mexico and still maintains the small town feel that is very welcoming for tourist.

La Paz is a departure point for tours and charters to the stunning Espiritu Santo island as well as whale watching excursions.

Stroll down the colorful malecon (boardwalk), walk hundreds of feet in waist high water at Balandra beach or have a fine dining experience; La Paz has a lot of offer

San José

you will find yourself surrounded by colorful buildings and quaint cobblestone streets that lead to the town´s picturesque zocalo (main plaza).

Over the years, San José has become an artistic and cultural centre with numerous fine art galleries in its downtown art district.

From November through June, the popular Art Walk takes place every Thursday evening where galleries welcome guest to sip some wine while they view their exhibits; however, the galleries are open year-round

San José del Cabo´s historical downtown also offers world-class restaurants from Mexican Gourmet cuisine to authentic Thai Food

San José has a beautiful beach where you can take a horseback ride and explore the estuary that is home to many different bird species

Todos Santos

Located on the Pacific Ocean side, Todos Santos is an oasis where artists and surfers flock to enjoy the culture and excellent surf

Home to the famous Hotel California, this charming town offers great restaurants and a cooler climate than Cabo San Lucas and San José due to the Pacific´s breezes

East Cape

People often called "The Old Cabo" because of its pristine beaches and small fishing towns such as Buena Vista and Los Barriles

The East Cape begins just east to San José and extends about 100 miles up the Sea of Cortez coast

Sixty miles outside of San José is the Cabo Pulmo National marine park, an eight fingered coral reef that offers outstanding snorkeling ans scuba diving and turtle nesting on the beach

Very popular for fishing and surfing. the East Cape also attracts kite surfers, campers and folks who just wan to get away from it all

Magdalena Bay

This bay is particularly noted for the seasonal migration of the California gray whales that come here during winter to mate.

The bay is also popular for commercial and sports fishing.

Nearby mangrove swamps provide sanctuaries for sea birds.

The bay includes the small fishing port of San Carlos, as well as Puerto López Mateos, which provides a good place to observe the whales.

La Ventana

La Ventana is a small Mexican fishing village located on the Sea of Cortez just 35 minutes southeast of La Paz.

Recently declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the Sea of Cortez offers intense ocean-blue scenery and the stark contrast of arid desert landscapes.

So abundant is the region´s natural beauty that the explorer Jacques Cousteau referred to it as the "world´s aquarium."

In La Ventana, you´ll be charmed by the beautiful views of the bay, the island Cerralvo and the scenic sierras, the variety of plants and cacti, the colors of water, and of course the warm friendliness of the Mexican people who live there

Loreto

Loreto is a place that encourages you to commune with nature, play water sports, search for whales, cave paintings and colonial missions.

Because of Loreto, Baja’s climate, infrastructure and relative isolation, it is also ideal for resting and forgetting about the pressures of everyday life, it is precisely this long isolation that preserved Loreto’s unusual attractions such as its beaches, clean sea and sky, fragile environmental marine and semi-desert niches that have subsisted and provide refuge for endangered species.

From an urban point of view, Loreto is remarkable for the contrasts between its colonial heritage, the advance of modernization and the fact that it has managed to preserve the simple, friendly, cheerful atmosphere of old Mexico.

Philanthropy

Dubbed as the "Galapagos of North America" by Jacques Cousteau, the Sea of Cortez has a rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity with many species found nowhere else on earth. Unfortunately the Sea of Cortez faces many threats due to unplanned development, over-fishing, pollution, and poaching of sea turtles and other rare species.

Just like a mutual fund, the International Community Foundation's Sea of Cortez Impact Fund supports the best of the best. Composed of groups vetted by ICF staff, this fund provides core operational support to leading environmental nonprofits with proven track records of marine and terrestrial conservation in the Gulf of California region.
