TODOS SANTOS, Mexico – If you think you have been to Baja because you’ve partied in Cabo, think again, Cabo is hardly representative of the state of Baja California Sur. Baja, the finger-shaped peninsula that extends south of California and is separated from mainland Mexico by the Sea of Cortez, is a desert paradise that has been attracting surfers, outdoor enthusiasts, artists, and bohemians for decades. Todos Santos, the cultural and commercial hub of the area is home to a number of galleries, restaurants, and boutique hotels. The community of multi-generational families and expats is fiercely protective of Todos Santos, its heritage, and Baja’s natural landscape. As a result, development is limited, streets are peaceful, and beaches are pristine. Come for the relaxation, sunsets, and star gazing, and stay for the dry heat, sunshine, and salty ocean breeze.
