La Paz tours

Things to do in La Paz

La Paz, on Mexico's Baja Peninsula, was clearly blessed by Mother Nature. The Gulf of California teems with with marine life, making the city an eco-tourism hot spot, and visitors can kayak, snorkel and swim in crystal-clear waters, or head inland for stark desert landscapes. Take a La Paz private tour and explore Mexico's Baja Peninsula with a local guide. Meet your guide at the malecon to stroll the seafront and learn about the city's history, including its annexation by U.S. mercenary William Walker. Visit the whale museum to learn about the ocean's gentle giants, then head to Playa Balandra, voted Mexico's best beach. Your guide can show you the path to a locals-only spot to swim and suntan in seclusion. Art lovers can meet painters and sculptors in Todos Santos, while birdwatchers can hightail it to the San Jose estuary to spot Grebes, Thrashers and Yellowthroats. To take the ultimate plunge, hop in a boat to Mogote, then hop overboard and swim with whale sharks.
