For you to fully experience the spirit of the city, the guide will take you to the main street of Todos Santos, where you can calmly walk, shop, and visit the best all-inclusive resorts in Mexico.

Sea turtle releases

Winter is also a time when you can take part in or see the newly hatched sea turtles from Turtle Camp, released into the wild as part of the rescue process for endangered leather-clad sea turtles.

Tiny babies are placed in coconut shells to avoid human touch, while experts and volunteers of all ages place them on the sand, where they crawl along the beach to the ocean. Checking their readiness, researchers observe their behavior, how well they move, crawl, navigate in the water, swim, and rise into the air, as they slowly leave while yawns wave goodbye, wishing them a safe path.

The releases most often take place from December 1st to late March or early April, just before the sun sets each day, making it the perfect time to capture one of Baja’s stunning sunsets.

The sun goes down

The sunsets along the west coast of Baja are some of the most spectacular in history. While the beaches in Todos Santos are mostly deserted during the day, many locals and a small number of visitors descend just before dusk to watch the day’s big finale.

It will make your all-inclusive family vacations in Mexico a success.

Desert oasis

This unique, artsy desert oasis is reminiscent of Taos, New Mexico 20 years ago, nestled among ancient mango and palm gardens. In summer, the Sierra de Laguna mountains provide a lush green backdrop.

Incredible food

Dishes are a separate conversation, one cannot but pay attention to this. You can visit ethnic cafes, represented as if by a whole botanical garden. Not to mention the interesting food, which is made from unique plant species.

These secrets of great taste are passed down from generation to generation and, of course, to your table. To be convinced of the uniqueness of the local gastronomy, you can at least note even the cactus mojito.

Namely, from a rare and seemingly thorny plant, which in fact gives a rich palette of sensations and the very juiciness of Mexico. This will make sure that a vacation in Todos Santos is not only about beaches and mountains, but also amazing food.

Art

In the city, visit the many art galleries and studios that are sandwiched between old brick colonial buildings, and just wander the streets to check out the impressive street art.

Created by the locals, you’ll see paint splatter all over the city. Take a walk and admire the colorful art as it is a great way to spend the day.

Historical Landmarks

Historical Landmarks

If the timing is correct, visit Nuestra Senhora del Pilar de Todos Santos (Church of Our Lady of Pilar) when services are held on Saturday. Not only can you marvel at the church, which is set against the backdrop of endless palm trees with the Pacific Ocean just beyond it, but you can also hear a wonderful song. The sounds are so sweet, spreading so far that you can almost see the notes fly out of the door, out, down the hill, over the palm trees, and out to sea.

Fascinating atmosphere

Todos Santos truly leaves an impression you will never forget – begging to come back again and again. In fact, you can fall so high that you don’t feel like walking away.
