Beautiful, exotic and magical Mexico

There are many places in the world where we would like to visit or even live. But there is only one place so unique that unites an incredible history, rich nature, inspiring flora and fauna, colorful culture and opportunities to live your life fully. Experience Mexican free spirit in Baja.

Some of the amazing facts about Baja (and that’s only some of the reasons why we love it): 

• Extreme desert conditions of Baja have produced thousand of endemic species of plants and animal life found nowhere else in the world.
• El Vizcaino Desert with the average rainfall 5 cm (2 in) per year is the largest wildlife refuge in all of Latin America and certainly the most diverse.
• Baja California Sur, bordered by two seas, has the longest coastline of all Mexican states at more than 2,000 km (1,243 miles).
• Baja features more islands than any other Mexican state. Although most of the islands are located in the Gulf of California, the largest one is Margarita Island, on the Pacific side.
• Sea of Cortez is the most biologically rich body of water on earth. So much in fact, that Jacques Cousteau proclaimed it “the World’s Aquarium”.
• The cardón cactus, the world’s largest species of cactus, grows on the Baja California peninsula. It can reach heights of 21 m (70 feet).
• Every year from mid-December to mid-April, hundreds of grey whales arrive off the coast of BCS from the Alaska shores. Whale-watchers are proud to see whales jumping up to 40 feet in the air.
