La Paz

The City of Peace

La Paz is a destination of colorful contrasts, from the blues of the Sea of Cortez to the brilliant sunsets that are the hallmark of a city so appropriately named and contrasted with the dry desert and a backdrop of the mountain range. The landscape of Baja California Sur is an ever-changing painting that soothes the soul. La Paz, Spanish for "peace" has a rich history, delightful people, delicious food, perfect weather, and an easy-going lifestyle that welcomes travelers from all over the world.

As the capital of Baja California Sur, La Paz charms, relaxes, and stimulates the senses. It has an Old World flavor sprinkled with a dash of bustle. Its restaurants, shops, mercados and museums share their visitors with the beautiful beachfront malecon (boardwalk) that winds for miles. La Paz is a university town with quality hospitals, the center of eco-tourism, and the port city for Baja Sur. It is a city that exists for its residents, which is a great benefit for visitors, who get to experience the simple and happy life of a genuine Mexican community. La Paz is truly a rare pearl found in this fast paced world.
