La Paz Adventure 2019

After dark, dive lights draw in schools of mobula rays, their wings catching the glow as they circle and bank in near silence, a bucket-list experience that earns the 'World's Aquarium' title all over again.

The protected waters and dramatic geology of Espiritu Santo Island offer everything from sea kayaking along turquoise coves to snorkeling with the same rich marine life that drew Cousteau here decades ago.

Freshly landed seafood, beach BBQs between dives, the color of the Malecon boardwalk at sunset, and a culinary scene that swings easily from street tacos to inventive sushi. La Paz feeds you well.
