Longing for La Paz
As writer Bruce Berger notes in his acclaimed 1998 book “Almost an Island,” most written work about Mexicos Baja California peninsula has focused on the regions natural wonders.
With more than 30 species of marine mammal and 500 species of fish making their homes here, some of which are found nowhere else in the world, the peninsulas Pacific and Gulf of California waters offer world – class scuba diving, snorkeling, sea – kayaking, whale – watching, fishing and recreational boating.
And then theres the otherworldly Sonoran Desert, with its banded volcanic mountains, oddly green high sierra, hidden box canyons and sweeping arroyos. The landscape proves to be a haven for mountain bikers, backpackers, hikers, RVing families, ATV devotees and those intrepid explorers bound for the celebrated Sierra de San Francisco cave paintings with local guides and mules.
Theyre all coming to experience “Baja” —that unique place of unparalleled adventure, a stunning natural juxtaposition where the desert tumbles to meet the tropical sea.
