With vast deserts, dormant volcanoes and picturesque bays, many of Mexico’s most dramatic landscapes and seascapes can be found in Baja California. Hike the scenic tails into real cowboy territory, complete with cacti and sparsely populated desert, or head to the coast to try surfing, sailing or kayaking.
Nature lovers should grab a snorkel and discover the amazing diversity of marine life in the Sea of Cortez, or even go dolphin or whale watching - blue whales, humpbacks, orcas and sperm whales all call this region home. Various archaeological sites can be toured in the rugged mountains, where cave paintings can also be seen.
