The Sea of Corez is famed for its world class diving areas and UNESCO World Heritage sites, rich in its crystal clear waters off the Baja California peninsula. The opportunity to discover landscapes where red stone contrasts with dazzling blue, where cetaceans frolic among schools of sparkling fish. Welcome to this region that Commander Cousteau called “the aquarium of humanity”.
From diving to discovering natural sites classified as World Heritage by Unesco, passing through teeming cities or seaside towns, a cruise in the Sea of Cortez is suitable for sea lovers as well as nature enthusiasts, adventurers than to travelers in search of idleness.
Nature's Aquarium - the Sea of Cortez
"The largest aquarium in the world", was how famed diver Jacques-Yves Cousteau called it. And naturally, the best way to observe it is by scuba diving (for experienced divers) on numerous sites rich in surprises, whose names leave you dreaming: Monserrat Island, Coronado Island, Punta Colorada and Bahia Amortajada on San Jose Island , Espíritu Santo Island, Cerralvo Island… 39% of the known species of marine mammals on earth, 900 species of fish and 33 of cetaceans evolve here. Bottlenose dolphins, gray and blue whales, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, sea lions or turtles have been recorded in the region.
Swim with the Sealions - Los Islotes, Mexico
Sheer walls, a landscape of jagged rocks, and towering boulders form Los Islotes, in southeastern Baja California. It is home to a large colony of California sea lions. Not shy and playful, they are easily approached. It is even possible to swim alongside them: a moment rich in emotion. Underwater, moray eels, groupers, parrotfish and starfish bring surprising touches of color to the rocky seabed.
Cabo San Lucas - Baja California Peninsula, Mexico
At the southern end of the Baja California peninsula, Cabo San Lucas can be recognized by the rock formations that emerge from the water, notably creating an arc above the waves. Between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean, the bay of Cabo San Lucas is also famous for its fabulous sandy beaches and its lively nightlife.
The Bays of Huatulco - State of Oaxaca, Mexico
Must-sees in southern Mexico, the bays of Huatulco are home to 36 beaches, each as idyllic as the next, as well as the Parque Nacional Huatulco , which guarantees the preservation of precious biodiversity. The best way to experience its splendor is to climb aboard a catamaran and let yourself be carried along the coastline. It is then easy to admire the mountains of the Sierra Madre, the luxuriant vegetation and the cliffs bordering magnificent beaches. Birds, dolphins and manta rays add magic to this outing. A stop on the deserted beach of La India Bay with swimming and snorkeling completes this trip to paradise.
Experience life in San Diego
At the end of the 19th century, the first Europeans to come to California settled here in San Diego. The historic center of the city is also full of period buildings, restored and colorful, which reflect this past. But San Diego is also renowned for its pulsating artistic heart. Larger than Central Park in New York, Balboa Park is the largest cultural park in the United States. 17 museums, a botanical garden and pavilions with architectural influences from all over the world are spread there in a particularly abundant vegetation.
Visit La Antigua de Guatamala
Former capital and seat of the Spanish colonial government of Guatemala for two centuries, La Antigua was founded in 1543 by the conquistadors. Despite the earthquakes it has suffered, the city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of the best preserved colonial cities in Latin America . Witness its cobbled streets, the baroque church of La Merced, the Plaza Mayor surrounded by historic buildings or the Metropolitana cathedral built upon the arrival of the Spaniards.
