 The
heavenly Bahia de Loreto (Loreto
Bay) is located in the northeastern
region in the state of Baja California
Sur, 350 km (217 mi) north of La
Paz. The climate is hot, with an
average temperature of 28º C (82º
F).
Loreto is a pleasant destination
with beautiful natural attractions,
such as the Bahia de Loreto Marine
Park, which consists of a group
of islands that offer ideal conditions
for scuba diving, fishing and nature
observing. Also of interest is the
Sierra la Giganta, an area with
mountainous terrain that is optimal
for climbing and biking.
In the surrounding areas you
can see the most famous cave paintings
on the peninsula at the Sierra de
San Francisco. In addition, you
can visit baroque missions San Javier
and Nuestra Señora de Loreto, which
are the oldest in the region. As
for local festivities, don’t miss
out on the annual celebrations to
commemorate the city’s founding.
In the bay area you’ll find beaches
with calm waters, such as Nopolo
and Puerto Escondido, where you
can enjoy a wide variety of fish
and seafood dishes like almejas
chocolatas (clams cooked in their
shells), accompanied with a glass
of red or white wine. Later, you
can go dancing at the nightclubs
in the city center, where you can
enjoy festive atmospheres and the
latest in new music.
