Baja California Sur
Home to one of Hollywood’s favorite vacation destinations, natural wonders, and an inventive, playful cuisine
Occupying the sparsely populated southern half of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, Baja California Sur has breathtaking rocky landscapes and vast, beautiful coastline along the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. It’s known for incredible vacation destinations like Cabo San Lucas, a favorite among Hollywood stars, and natural wonders. Hundreds of whale sharks, the world’s largest fish, feed off the coast of its cosmopolitan capital La Paz. Like Baja California Norte, it attracts residents from all over Mexico and the world, giving it an inventive, playful cuisine influenced by Mexico’s diverse regional cuisines and making use of its abundant seafood and indigenous ingredients.
