It is the capital of Baja California del Sur and one of the main points of interest since it is the departure point for many cruises. Here you can start your route with the monohull. There are many activities that you can do in the city, our recommendation is to start by visiting some of the best-known points of interest such as the Cathedral of Our Lady, with a unique architectural style different from European cathedrals. You can walk along the Malecón, a large promenade by the sea, where you will find many restaurants and cafes to rest and enjoy your time. If you are a bit more adventurous, we recommend you finish your visit swimming with sea lions, which inhabit Espiritu Santo Island, and end up at Balandra beach, about 25 km from La Paz, where you will find one of the most famous attractions of the city, a natural pool of warm water, shallow and protected from the wind.

Location 2: Mazatlán

We recommend you visit Yelapa, a traditional fishing village known for its nature and the many coconut trees, a place that looks straight off a postcard. If you have made this stop, do not forget to visit Los Arcos, a coastal area characterized by its arch-shaped caves, which together with the light colour of the sea is the perfect place to anchor and spend hours diving and contemplating the great marine life.
