Loreto, a Magical Town in Baja California Sur

Loreto

Get a piece of paradise in Loreto, one of the two Magic Towns in Baja California Sur. A small city surrounded by Sierra Giganta and the Sea of Cortez, which makes it a spot filled with beautiful spaces for rest and fun on the beach and on land.

HOW TO GET TO LORETO?

Loreto is located north of the Baja California Peninsula, at a distance of 360 km from La Paz.  The easiest way to get here is by plane, take a flight to La Paz and then arrive by land to Loreto, the drive lasts approximately 4 hours. 

A TOWN FILLED WITH HISTORY

Loreto was a difficult territory to explore for Hernan Cortes, who was never able to found a colony due to the geographical location and hostile behavior of the natives.

This changed until 1697. A Jesuit mission was established to evangelize the ethnic groups of the region of Baja California Sur, and the place to carry it out was Loreto. Thanks to the success of the mission, it was possible to continue with the evangelization of the rest of Baja California Sur.

WHAT TO VISIT?

OUR LADY OF LORETO

One of the most important tourist spots and also an icon of the Jesuit missions that took place in these territories is Our Lady of Loreto. It was the first architectural settlement in the Baja California peninsula.

MAGICAL TOWN 

Also known in Spanish as “Pueblos Mágicos”, Magical Towns are an initiative by the Mexican Secretary of Tourism to promote towns that have a special charm and can offer visitors a “magical” experience.

One of the main requirements to be a part of this list is to offer cultural richness, traditions, gastronomy and natural beauty. It is worth mentioning that capital cities are not part of this program, only non-bustling towns that meet the aforementioned requirements.

Since 2006 Todos Santos has been part of the 3 magical towns in Baja California Sur.
