In the heart of the Trinidad Sierra, on the road between the East Cape and Los Cabos, there are several charming villages and hamlets whose inhabitants are artisan-farmers who devote themselves to handcraft production and fruit farming.

  • Santiago de los Coras
  • San Bartolo
  • Miraflores

Santiago de los Coras is a small town in Baja California Sur on Federal Highway #1 some 35 miles (56km) north of San Jose del Cabo. Almost exactly on the Tropic of Cancer.
An attractive place to visit is the town zoo (the only one in BCS) and the museum containing enormous fossils.
