Weekend Getaway: Loreto
Continue

If you’re over Cancun and Los Cabos and want to add a little adventure to your next Mexican vacation, you might head to the historic town of Loreto on the Baja California Peninsula. Located in the central part of the peninsula beside the Sea of Cortez, this longtime sport-fishing destination offers spectacular snorkeling, diving, and kayaking in the Loreto Bay National Marine Park, plus a colonial plaza to stroll and two Jesuit missions to visit.
