  • 5Very recommended, excellent service and trip

    We did the tour to El Triunfo, a mining town about 30 minutes from La Paz, and went to the beaches at La Ventana. The trip was very well coordinated, we were picked up at our hotel and had lunch included at a nice cafe. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Baja California and the history and surrounding wildlife. The beach they took us to was also gorgeous and not crowded. Very easy to do for families even with kids as it is the perfect balacee of exploring and learning while also getting to relax by the beach. Overall, would definitely recommend if you are in La Paz and looking for a unique excursion

    Booked family tour in La Paz in July 2025. It was well organized and interesting! We really enjoyed every minute. Our guide Isaias was knowledgeable and fun. He has individual approach for my kids and my father who will be 87 on August. We highly recommend Choya Tours if you are planning to visit La Paz Thank you, Choya Tours!!

  • 5Very Informative

    My tour guide was great. Even though the tour was in Spanish, I booked this one a bit late, he took time to translate for me in English. I wish I could have spent more time at Playa Balandra, either way it was a memorable experience. Gracias Isaias 🫡

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.
