Highlights

Discover the charm of La Paz on this guided tour through its historic center, where colonial architecture, lively plazas, and local stories come together. Visit the Regional Museum to explore the rich history and culture of Baja California Sur, then browse colorful creations at the handicrafts center, perfect for finding unique souvenirs. Next, we’ll head to the coast to admire the turquoise beauty of Playa Balandra, famous for its crystal-clear waters and iconic mushroom rock. As this is a protected natural area with a limited number of visitors allowed per day, we may instead visit another beautiful beach in La Paz if access is not available. Finally, unwind at Playa Tecolote, where you’ll enjoy a delicious Mexican meal in a beachfront restaurant, relax under provided umbrellas, and soak in the serene seaside atmosphere before returning to the city.

About La Paz

La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur, a calm Sea of Cortez port with a seafront promenade, island beaches and sea lion colonies offshore.

La Paz lies on a sheltered bay on the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez, in the south of the Baja California peninsula. Its malecón, a long seafront promenade, runs past sculptures, cafés and ice-cream stalls. The cathedral stands on Plaza Constitución, the Museum of Anthropology and History covers the peninsula, and the city has a long past as a centre of pearl fishing.
