Loreto Baja Sur California Mexico

Photography by Bill Bell

Loreto was once the capital of a piece of territory stretching from California to Texas that included Sonora, Sinaloa and Coahuila. Nowadays it is the heart of a natural paradise known as the Sea of Cortés and great place to camp and take your RV for the winter.  Stroll the pedestrian friendly streets,  gaze at the "mother of all California Missions" or play golf. Loreto has something for everyone.
