Overview
Highlights
- Life is simpler in Baja, and our trip lets the world drift away in favor of watching squadrons of pelicans flying over the water, frigate birds soaring overhead, and sea lions with rakish whiskers inquisitively swimming by. Filled with wildlife, it’s a world to inspire wonder on a fundamental level. Looking upon the immense gray whales that frequent the warm waters will trigger a recognition of the exotic and fantastic. Quiet nights and the lapping of waves on the beach can only inspire peace. Our trip also immerses you into Baja culture on an authentic level. Converse with the locals and learn about their everyday life in sunny Baja during the day. At night, learn the passions of the palate with cooking lessons of Baja’s favorite dishes such as ceviche and tortillas with a bit of authentic tequila and mescal on the side.
