Baja California Sur has turned into a highly attractive tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. Its natural beauty and untouched scenery set it apart from other destinations along the Mexican Riviera. The region’s clear, tranquil water, its lagoons and wetlands, ecological and marine reserves and desert landscapes framed by the Sea of Cortez are only some of the marvelous features of this distant paradise.
The Sea of Cortez is now an established route for different cruise ship lines and ecotourism ships seeking new destinations to offer their passengers. Major cruise lines like Holland America Line, Crystal Cruise Line, Radisson Seven Seas, Carnival Cruise Line, Silver Seas Cruise Line, Cruise West, Voyager Cruise Line, Lindblad Special Expeditions, Inc. and New York Ship Manager Co. have discovered that the Sea of Cortez offers a diversity of natural wonders for all passengers to enjoy, and that the ports along the way provide all the services that a cruise ship requires when it is at anchor.
Among the main ports of call for cruise ships on the Sea of Cortez are La Paz, Loreto, Santa Rosalía and Los Cabos.
In addition to the natural beauty that passengers can observe from the ship deck, when they step ashore they can enjoy tours offered at each port. These include guided tours of the city, tours that focus on the history of each port, snorkeling tours, tours to the main beaches or to diving destinations for both beginning and experienced divers, trips to the missions and islands nearest to each port, visits to the ancient rock paintings, whale observation in season, and others.
