The Baja, Mexico Trip

Jan 20, 2027 – Jan 24, 2027 · 5 days · FTLO

Overview

For the love of desert-meets-ocean landscapes, vibrant culture, and fresh seaside seafood – add wildlife encounters, colorful towns, and an easygoing Baja crew. That’s our Baja, Mexico trip.

Our 5-day trip captures Baja Sur’s sun-soaked energy, where desert landscapes meet turquoise seas, colorful towns, incredible food, and some of Mexico’s most remarkable marine life.

We begin in San José del Cabo, exploring its historic streets and growing culinary scene before heading up the coast through Todos Santos, a creative surf town filled with art galleries, cafés, and desert-meets-ocean scenery.

Then we settle into La Paz for the heart of the trip. Days here unfold between the clear waters of the Sea of Cortez and a city that still moves to a distinctly local rhythm. Stroll the malecón at sunset, duck into family-run taquerías, and head out by boat to Espíritu Santo, where dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife make this stretch of Baja especially memorable.

Together, San José del Cabo, Todos Santos, and La Paz give you a taste of what makes Baja Sur so special: warm coastal towns, desert landscapes, incredible marine life, and plenty of good food and time by the sea.
