BAJA, MEXICO

Relaxation Close to Home

Baja California Sur makes for a great destination just a short flight away from the Southwest or West Coast of the US. Within a couple of hours you can be in Mexico enjoying a reprieve from the confines of your home. Spend a week or even a month relaxing at your private home in Cabo taking snorkeling day trips, volunteering with a whale shark conservation project, or kayaking. In Baja you’ll have the opportunity to do a bit of everything from relaxing to adventuring and each day can be concluded with a fabulous fresh, Baja-style taco if you so choose.
