Loreto, Baja California Sur stands out from many other tourist destinations in Mexico as it has managed to keep its laid-back pace as a traditional fishing village. This draws visitors from all over to Loreto, who are looking for something beyond the traditional tourist-packed resort. With nearby Mission churches, whale watching, fishing, fun on and under the water, and more, you will find the area is teeming with outdoor adventure.
It’s remarkable to think the still small-town feel of Loreto was once actually the capital of the Californias! Not Baja California Sur, but the Californias! Today, one can easily fly into Loreto, located about 4½ hours north by car of the much busier present-day BCS capital of La Paz.
Surrounded by the turquoise waters of Loreto Bay National Park on its coast and the Sierra Giganta mountain range in the background, Loreto offers a wealth of wildlife and exciting adventures for visitors of all ages. Whether exploring from above or under the water, it’s easy to see why Jacques Cousteau once dubbed this part of the Sea of Cortez “the aquarium of the world”.
Among its many qualities, since 2012 Loreto has also held the distinction as one of Mexico’s “Pueblos Mágicos” – magical towns. The monumentous Sierra Giganta, keeping watch over Loreto’s exquisite coast, brings to life the native legend that claims “Loreto is where the mountains come down to swim.”

The Loreto International Airport (LTO) has direct service to the cities of TIjuana and La Paz along the Baja, as well as international service to US cities such as Phoenix, Dallas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as Calgary in Canada.
If traveling by car across Baja California Sur, Loreto is about a 4.5 hour drive north from La Paz along Highway 1, also known as the Transpeninsular Highway.
Loreto has a tropical desert climate, with plenty of sunshine and fluctuating hot and cooler seasons. The high season in Loreto is from November – April (plus, whale watching usually hits its stride from December – March), though winter nights can be chilly. May thru October is the lower season, with heat and humidity particularly noticeable from July – September. For scuba divers, however, the sultry summer months provide some of the best visibility.
Renting a car when visiting Loreto is highly recommended, particularly if you plan to explore the area. Loreto Bay in Nopolo, where the Casago Loreto vacation rentals office is located, is about a 20-minute drive from downtown and just 10 minutes from the airport.
You will find that within Loreto Bay in Nopolo all pathways east lead to the beach. It’s about a 15-minute walk max from just about anywhere in Loreto Bay to the sandy shore.
Loreto is generally considered to be one of the safest cities in the country. With fewer crowds, you will frequently find residents and visitors alike strolling peacefully through the area. As for any area, safety tips include using registered taxis (if you haven’t rented a car), travel to excursion spots or along the Transpeninsular Highway by day (plus, this helps being startled by wildlife or livestock on the road).
Many of the biggest events in Loreto are related with the sea, fishing, or seafood. It is also a popular destination along the Baja for traditional celebrations such as Carnaval (Feb/March), Mexican Independence Day (Sept 16), and the San Javier Fiesta in early December.
