ABOUT THE ITINERARY
Baja California is a peninsula of striking contrasts, where Mexico’s finest wines are produced in sun-drenched valleys and gray whales return each year to calve in calm lagoons. In the north, Valle de Guadalupe has earned its title as the “Napa of Mexico,” with boutique wineries, farm-to-table restaurants and stylish vineyard stays. Further south, San Ignacio Lagoon offers one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife experiences, with opportunities for close encounters with gray whales, always on the whales’ terms.
Beyond the vines and the lagoons, La Paz opens the door to the UNESCO-protected Isla Espíritu Santo, home to playful sea lions and turquoise bays. The artsy town of Todos Santos blends Pacific surf with creative energy, while Los Cabos brings the journey to a dramatic close, where desert cliffs meet the sea in spectacular fashion.
VALLE DE GUADALUPE
Begin your journey with vineyards and fine wines. Explore L.A. Cetto’s celebrated Nebbiolo and Cabernet, discover Bruma’s cutting-edge sustainable winemaking, and dine at Fauna amidst vineyard vistas. Evenings are spent relaxing with wellness treatments at your vineyard-view hotel.
SAN IGNACIO LAGOON
Fly into Baja California Sur for a rare wildlife encounter. Between January and April, gray whales journey here for birthing and bonding. Your intimate, solar-powered glamping camp includes guided panga excursions into the UNESCO-protected lagoon—perfect for up-close, whale-first encounters.
Stay: San Ignacio Whale Camp
LA PAZ
Head to La Paz, where ocean and city life meet. Walk along the scenic promenade, then boat out to Isla Espíritu Santo for kayaking, snorkeling with sea lions, and floating in the Sea of Cortez—“the world’s aquarium.”
TODOS SANTOS
In Todos Santos, creativity and calm converge. Stay at the design-forward Paradero, stroll galleries, sip coffee from street-side cafés, or catch waves at Playa Cerritos.
Stay: Paradero Todos Santos
