Traveling to Baja

Baja California
Baja California is the second-longest peninsula in the world which is divided into two Mexican states, measuring 775 miles in total length.

The Baja California peninsula was discovered hundreds of years ago by Hernan Cortez and it was first considered an island. Years later, after being fully explored its true nature was revealed. The peninsula was now clear and began to be marked on maps and charts as a Peninsula stick together to what it’s now Mexico and the United States.
What’s Los Cabos region?
Los Cabos represents the fishing villages, which is now a place full of luxurious resorts, offering all kinds of services for the most exclusive clients. But, let’s not forget that it all started as a fishing village composed by Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Furthermore, together they shape the Los Cabos region. In San José del Cabo is where you’ll find the Los Cabos international airport.
The Sea of Cortez
As it was mentioned before how Hernan Cortez was considered the explorer that found Baja California for the first time, it’s because of this that the sea next to it is called The Sea of Cortez. It’s in present times considered the most biologically-diverse body of water on Earth. And, this body of water extends almost to the US border. It’s in this amazing sea with its pristine waters where you can do all sorts of things like Snorkeling to swim along with exotic tropical fishes.
