Your detailed itinerary

Upon arrival in Cabo San Lucas, the ultimate seaside resort in Baja California Sur, you will pick up your hire car before setting off for La Paz, the capital of Baja California. This city offers a wide range of outdoor activities through which you can discover its extremely diverse wildlife. This cosmopolitan city, once occupied by the Americans, remains far removed from mass tourism and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At the end of the day, stroll along the "Malecón", the promenade running alongside the bay, and enjoy the magnificent sunset.

Boutique hotel: 3-star Casa Juarez (or similar)
DAY 2 - DISCOVER THE ISLAND OF ESPÍRITU SANTO
Why not treat yourself to a boat trip (not included in the price) to discover Isla Espíritu Santo today? This national park, which is protected by UNESCO, is home to one of the most diverse ecosystems in the region and is one of the most important in Mexico. Many species, particularly mammals and reptiles, can feed and reproduce there all year round. The island's most famous animal is the sea lion, and you can swim with them. There is a colony of 300 individuals in the north of the archipelago. There are plenty of ways to explore the main island, including snorkelling, kayaking, trekking and diving. You may even see giant rays, hammerhead sharks and turtles! The archipelago's isolation, volcanic origin and contrasting sea and desert landscapes create a unique spectacle not to be missed.
Boutique hotel: 3-star Casa Juarez (or similar)
DAY 3 - VISIT THE FORMER CAPITAL OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
Today, you will travel to the former capital of Baja California Sur: Loreto. The evangelisation of the region's four indigenous ethnic groups (the Pericues, Monguis, Guaycuras and Cochimis) began here, with the establishment of several missions, including San Javier and Our Lady of Loreto. Loreto, dubbed the "magical village", faces the rich marine world of the Bahía de Loreto National Park, which is protected by CONANP and comprises the Coronado, Carmen, Danzante, Montserrat and Santa Catalina islands. From December to March, the world's largest mammal, the blue whale, comes here to feed, reproduce and give birth.

Boutique hotel: 3-star Hacienda Suites Loreto (or similar)

Today, you will return to Loreto, the oldest town in Baja California. Take a look around the historic centre of this former Spanish colony, home to the Loreto Mission, the first Jesuit church to be built in the region in 1697. Salvatierra Square is not far away, and you can admire its period architecture there. Next, you will reach the "Malecón", where you can take an excursion out to sea to enjoy the many landscapes of Loreto, including the desert, mountains and sea. Nature lovers will be spoilt for choice with activities such as boating, kayaking and diving.

DAY 6 - GREY WHALE WATCHING IN PUERTO SAN CARLOS
Today, after stopping in Loreto, you will travel to Puerto San Carlos, which is located on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur. This small fishing port transforms into a tourist centre in winter, welcoming visitors eager to catch a glimpse of the famous grey whale. Puerto San Carlos is surrounded by around 240 kilometres of mangroves, beaches and coastline along the vast bay.
Hotel: 3-star Villas Mar y Arena (or similar)
DAY 7 - DISCOVER THE WILDLIFE OF LA PAZ
Enjoy a morning in Puerto San Carlos, a fishing village on the Pacific coast. Take in the tranquillity of the village and go on a boat trip to see grey whales. They travel thousands of kilometres from the Arctic Ocean, where they feed, to breed and give birth to their young in the Pacific waters from December to March. It's an experience you won't want to miss! Next, you will head to La Paz, an important city in the region. The capital of Baja California Sur offers a variety of outdoor activities for discovering its extremely diverse wildlife.

Hotel: 3-star Casa Juarez (or similar)
DAY 8 - A VISIT TO TODOS SANTOS, A PEACEFUL OASIS BY THE OCEAN
Today, you will reach the southernmost point of the peninsula. On the way, stop at Todos Santos, which is famous for its colonial charm and artistic creativity. Nowadays, Todos Santos is a peaceful coastal oasis, which is probably why the town has attracted so many artists, both Mexican and foreign. You will visit the main square, the "Plaza de Armas", which is surrounded by the town's most iconic buildings. You will also have the opportunity to explore the many galleries and craft shops, where you can purchase a memento of Baja California. The town is also known for its "Hotel California", which was made famous by the Eagles' song of the same name. You will arrive in Cabo San Lucas at the end of the day. This is the ultimate seaside resort in Baja California Sur and is renowned for its beaches, diving, fishing and grey whale watching. Together with the more artistic and tranquil town of San José del Cabo, it forms the municipality of Los Cabos, as it is often referred to. Located at the junction of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean, Los Cabos offers incredible landscapes divided between sea, mountains and desert, making it a must-see destination on the peninsula. You can visit "El Arco", one of the area's most famous attractions, before enjoying the golden sands of "Lovers" and "Divorce" beaches, which are located close to the famous rock formation.
