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.

Loreto is located between the sea and the Sierra de la Giganta, the city is approximately 400 km from the far south of the peninsula with warm climate that fluctuates around 28ºC. Loreto Bay, which includes Coronado, Del Carmen, Danzante, Montserrate and Santa Catalina islands has been protected as a National Maritime Park since June 7 2000. It provides refuge for mother-of-pearl, starfish, sea urchins, fan coral, killer whales, blue whales, dolphins and sea lions.
