Baja California Sur is a state in northwestern Mexico occupying the southern half of the Baja California Peninsula. The region features the Sierra de la Laguna mountains and the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California. Visitors come for sport fishing, whale watching from December to April, snorkeling in coral reefs, and exploring colonial towns like Loreto and La Paz.
Baja California Sur is the southernmost state of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) to the east. The state capital is La Paz, and the region includes the internationally recognized Los Cabos tourism corridor. The peninsula's unique geography, recognized by UNESCO in the Gulf of California World Heritage Site designation, supports exceptional marine biodiversity including whale sharks, gray whales, manta rays, and one of the Americas' most recovered coral reef systems at Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park.
