Best things to do in Baja California Sur (México): a travel guide with everything you need to know

We traveled for a month in the state of Baja California Sur and it became one of our favorites of the six months we spent in Mexico. The whales were the main reason for making a trip there, because in this state, at a certain time of the year, you can see humpback whales, gray whales and the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale, up close. If you have a good time, as a bonus, you can even swim with the majestic whale shark, frolic among sea lions, watch gentle turtles and an impressive coral reef. In addition to the adventures among its marine wildlife that became among the most special of our lives, the scenery, the slow pace and the beaches of Baja California Sur (in our opinion, some of the best we’ve seen in Mexico) made this state one of our favorites in Mexico. In this guide we try to show you all the things to see and do in Baja California Sur with specific itineraries (from a weekend, 5 days, one, two, three weeks or a month) with practical suggestions, where to stay and even where to eat to make your trip as special as ours has been.
