Reasons to Visit La Paz

La Paz is a great alternative to nearby Cabo San Lucas and in my opinion, has a much more authentic cultural feel. There is not a Señor Frog's in sight! Take a stroll along the Malecon, indulge in delicious, inexpensive tacos everywhere you go, and choose from many outfitters for an excursion on the water. The sea here is the main draw – beaches, deep sea fishing, whale watching, kayaking, snorkeling, and diving.

Posada Luna Sol is a nice guesthouse within walking distance of the marina and downtown area, and is the base of operations for Mar Y Aventuras, the outfitter I used for a 4-night island kayak camping expedition.

LaPaz can be reached directly by air from mainland Mexico. I flew into Cabo San Lucas, which has more flights from the U.S and took a shuttle van, EcoBajaTours, for a 3-hour drive to LaPaz. I walked everywhere, but taxis are also plentiful.
