DAY 2 - DISCOVER THE ISLAND OF ESPIRITU SANTO

Today, a boat excursion to discover Isla Espiritu Santo. Protected by UNESCO, this national park is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the region and one of the most important in Mexico. Numerous species, especially mammals and reptiles, can feed and reproduce here all year round. The island's most famous animal is the sea lion, which you can swim with. There is a colony of 300 in the north of the archipelago. You can explore the main island by snorkeling, kayaking, trekking or diving, during which you may spot giant rays, hammerhead sharks and turtles. The archipelago's isolation, volcanic origin and contrasting landscapes of sea and desert make for a unique experience not to be missed.

DAY 3 - ENCOUNTER THE FIRST CAPITAL OF BAJA CALIFORNIA

Today, you're off to Baja California Sur's first capital city: Loreto. It was here that the evangelization of the region's four indigenous ethnic groups - the pericues, monguis, guaycuras and cochimis - began, with the establishment of several missions, including those of San Javier and Notre Dame de Loreto. The "magic village" of Loreto faces a rich marine world, the Bahia de Loreto National Park, protected by CONANP, which includes the islands of Coronado, Carmen, Danzante, Montserrat and Santa Catalina. From December to March, the world's largest mammal, the blue whale, comes here to feed, reproduce and give birth. By car: La Paz - Loreto 360km (4h15).

Today, you return to Baja California's oldest town, Loreto. Visit the historic center of the first Spanish colony, including the first Jesuit church built in 1697, Mission Loreto. Nearby is the Plaza Salvatierra, where you can admire its period architecture. Next, you'll reach the "malecon", where you can find an excursion to enjoy Loreto's many landscapes: desert, mountains and sea. There's no shortage of activities for nature lovers: boating, kayaking or diving, the choice is yours! For history buffs, take a trip along the Route of the Missions to understand the demographic and economic evolution of this territory, and in particular the most impressive and important, that of San Javier.

It's a small fishing port, which in winter is transformed into a tourist center welcoming dozens of visitors keen to discover the famous gray whale. **Puerto San Carlos boasts some 240 kilometers of mangroves, beaches and coastline surrounding the vast bay.

**Hotel: Villas Mar y Arena 3* or similar **

DAY 7 - DISCOVER THE WILDLIFE OF LA PAZ

Morning visit to Puerto San Carlos, home to a fishing community facing the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the calm of the village and opt for a trip out to sea to observe the grey whales.

Hotel: Casa Juarez 3* or similar

DAY 8 - VISIT TO TODOS SANTOS, A PEACEFUL OASIS BY THE OCEAN

Today, you'll reach the southern tip of the peninsula. Stop en route at Todos Santos, famous for its colonial charm and artistic creativity. Today, Todos Santos is a quiet oasis by the ocean, which is probably why the city has attracted so many artists, both Mexican and foreign. You'll visit the main plaza "Plaza de Armas" surrounded by the city's most representative buildings, and take advantage of the many galleries and craft stores to buy a "Baja California" souvenir. Todos Santos is also known for its "Hotel California", made famous by the famous Eagles song. Arrive late afternoon in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California's quintessential seaside resort, renowned for its beaches, diving, fishing and gray whale watching. Together with neighboring San José del Cabo, which is more artistic and tranquil, they form the municipality of Los Cabos, by which name they are often referred to.
