With the Sierra de la Giganta mountains as a backdrop to the West, and the beautiful blue waters of the Sea of Cortez spread out to the East, this peaceful fishing village named Loreto, Mexico, is fast-becoming an enticing destination.  To begin, it's hard to beat its affordable prices and its peaceful small-town charm.  Then, there are such fine attractions to experience for yourself, like golf, whale watching, sport fishing, and rich historical significance.  Finally, Loreto is a real Mexican hideaway - a dream-come-true destination to own a home.

Located in Baja California Sur, which is the southern Mexican State on the Baja peninsula, Loreto is about 300 miles north of Cabo San Lucas.  That means, the high-energy nightlife and the hordes of tourists that frequent Land's End won't intrude on your peace and quiet.  Yet, it's close enough to drive to, if you ever desire an exciting weekend of fun-on-the-town.  Therefore, continue on to uncover more about Loreto, the jewel of Mexico.

The rich history of Loreto

Founded in 1697, the main historic church in town called "Mission of Our Lady" is considered the “head” and the “mother” of all missions along the entire 1000-mile Baja California peninsula.  This mission was the original location where the Jesuit priests came to evangelize the new Spanish territory.  Fun fact:  Back then, Baja California was thought to be an island.  And, after determining that it is a peninsula, it took another 100 years for the news and updated maps to take hold.

Whale watching on the Sea of Cortez

The Sea of Cortez has been a prime birthing spot for Humpback whales for centuries.  First, the whales feed and grow in the cold waters of the Arctic sea during the summer.  Then, they make their way down to Baja California to mate and nurse their young.  In the spring, the whales head north once again, now with their brood.  But before they leave, they offer the unique experience to see these majestic animals in their natural habitat.

These magnificent creatures start to show up in December and they stay for a few months to bread.  There, you can see blue whales, humpback whales, and even orcas in Loreto Bay.  But, the most popular whale watching tours head out to see the famous blue whales, the largest mammals on Earth.
