Mexico's Natural Aquarium

Holidays in Baja California – Where is Baja?

Baja California is a peninsula that is part of Mexico, and sits just below the border to California is the USA. Often called ‘the largest natural aquarium in the world’, we think it’s one of the last remaining paradises in the world.

With beaches that rival those found in the Maldives, this long sliver of land separates the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortez and forms Mexico’s most northerly and westerly State.

No more than 250km wide, Baja California encompasses salt flats as well as mountains up to 3096m high, and gorgeous canyons whose walls host rock paintings several thousand years old that are recognised by UNESCO.

Baja California is a land of pure contrast; the desert, the oases, the sea teeming with life, the luxurious even opulent hotels, the cacti-filled islands, the strong Mexican culture including the ranchero way of life that paved the way for the US cowboy culture, the beauty of a Pacific sunset from a white sand beach – it’s wild, it’s majestic and it’s enchanting.
