Camp Kuyima Eco Lodge – San Ignacio

Kuyimá Eco Lodge is one of those special places we have the good fortune to visit.

Situated on the shores of San Ignacio Lagoon, on the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula is the friendly Kuyimá Eco Lodge.  Kuyimá is a local community-organization run by Ejido Luis Echeverría Álvarez . Since 1990 they have been pioneers ecotourism in the El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, the largest natural protected area in Latin America.

There are 11 c’cozy’ wooden cabins (10 double/twin and 1 for families). They are simple but comfortable and surprisingly cool due to the cool Pacific breezes which come off the lagoon.

Bathrooms are separate form the cabins and offer clean eco style toilets and solar heated showers.

Meals are taken in the ‘palapa’ (communal dinning area), where there is an honesty bar, games and library.

The grey whale watching trips start from the shore next to the camp and if staying at Kuyima there will be organised trips in the afternoon which explore the local area, it people and environment.
