Overview
Mexican World-Class Ecotourism in the Last Wilderness Frontiers, the Amazing Desert and Seas of the Baja California Peninsula

They invite you to discover the natural and cultural wonders of Baja, California, enjoying them in a new and exciting way: through ecotourism.
Framed by the beautiful natural scenery of the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Cortez and the Central Desert of Baja California lays El Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve, in the very heart of the Baja, California Peninsula.
Of incomparable beauty, this Natural World Heritage Site houses great animal and plan diversity, its hidden and unaltered landscape stewarding the impressive and enigmatic signature of extinct prehistoric cultures that once inhabited this deserted land.
Share with the gray whales the magic of San Ignacio Lagoon, where these amazing creatures arrive each year after a journey of over 10,000 miles from their feeding grounds at the Bering Sea. The moving scene of a mother whale taking care of her newborn offspring or the impressive courtship that precedes the mating of these colossal marine mammals will take your breath away, leaving images in your heart that you will never forget.
Paddle the waters of the lagoon in a kayak and immerse yourself in mangrove labyrinths disturbed only by the hectic activity of thousands of birds at sunset or by a school of juvenile fish. Land on a solitary pocket beach, sea-land boundary surrounded by sand dunes reach heights of up to 200 feet.
Enjoy the scenic beautify of the Sierra de San Francisco, with is peculiar vegetation of boojum, elephant, and palm trees, intermingled with cacti and succulents. Descend its canyons to discover caves where monumental paintings evidence the passage of ancient people through these secluded regions.
