Baja California’s crystal waters are speckled with over 900 islands on both the Pacific and Sea of Cortés sides. Approximately one quarter of the Sea of Cortés was recently declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, joining the previously declared Cave Paintings of the San Francisco Mountains near Mulege in this protected and esteemed status. The last 50 km of the peninsula is Los Cabos or the Cape region, anchored by the two towns of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
Los Cabos Cabo San Lucas
San Jose del Cabo
CABO SAN LUCAS Cabo San Lucas has evolved from a sleepy fishing village to an exciting and popular destination. It is situated exactly where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortes. Literally called “Land’s End”, this is where visitors will see the natural marvel of El Arco (the arch). Cabo San Lucas has a rich history filled with Spanish explorers, pirates and 1940’s Hollywood royalty. Today it offers world class fishing, numerous water sports, many upscale hotels and restaurants and thrilling nightlife. SAN JOSE DEL CABO Visiting the quaint town of San Jose del Cabo is like stepping back in time. Many of the town’s original buildings are intact including the magnificent church located right in the heart of San Jose. Across from the church is Plaza Mijares, the main square where people come to gather at night to watch an exhibition or participate in a Mexican fiesta. Browse the numerous artisan shops and art galleries for authentic treasures and consider dinner at one of the many fine dining restaurants that this wonderful town has to offer. Just east of San Jose del Cabo, is the new development of Puerto Los Cabos which will include a world-class marina, two signature golf courses and a number of elegant hotels.

Located on most of the western side of the Baja Peninsula, contains varied habitats such as mountains, plains and coastal dunes. This desert is one of the largest and best preserved in Mexico, and due to its isolation, contains a high level of species richness and endemism. The largest protected area in Mexico is located within this ecoregion, providing habitat for a number of endemic species such as the San QuintĂn Kangaroo Rat, Baja California Rock Squirrel, as well as a plethora of spider, scorpion and bee species. Unfortunately, intensive cattle ranging and unregulated hunting have taken its toll on much of the original natural environment. Location and general description The Baja California Desert ecoregion occurs on the western portion of the Baja California peninsula, and occupies most of the Mexican states of Baja California Sur and Baja California Norte. Elevation is variable, ranging from mountain ranges on the western central part varying from 1000 to 1500 metres (m), plains of median elevation (300 to 600 m) and vast extensions of coastal dunes.
The Baja California Desert
Biodiversity characteristics One of the largest and best preserved deserts in Mexico, the Baja California Desert is home to many endemic and endangered species. The peninsula’s isolation is largely responsible for the high levels of endemism and diversity. Approximately 500 species of plants, four amphibians, 43 reptiles, around 200 birds and over fifty mammals have adapted to difficult ecological conditions – from inhospitable hot and dry sand dunes, to nutrient-deficient soils in the mountains. Twenty-three percent of plant species in the Baja California Desert are endemic. In particular, the families Lamiaceae and Fouquieriaceae show considerable radiation within the ecoregion. With moderate faunal species richness, the Baja California Desert is home to 364 vertebrate taxa. In addition, scorpions and spiders show marked radiation here. The close relationship between animals and cacti in the Baja California Desert is recognized as an important ecological process for maintaining the diversity of both groups. There are numerous special status taxa that are found in the Baja California Desert, denoted variously as Near Threatened (NT), Vulnerable (VU), Endangered (EN), or Critically Endangered (CR).

The encounters with these magnificent marine mammals are unique with our boats getting you to the hot spots in almost no time; once we find them we follow them in their journey through these waters and give them time to entertain us. Baby’s being born with the playful behavior, males being showoffs, feeding, breaching and playing the love game are usual sights we encounter every day in our tours.
