ESPIRITU SANTO BIOSPHERE

The uninhabited island of Espiritu Santo ("Island of the Holy Spirit") lies off the coast of La Paz, and features an amazing array of wildlife, as well as some of the world's most fantastic beaches.  A UNESCO world heritage site, Espiritu Santo is one of the biggest ecotourism attractions in the Baja peninsula of Mexico.  It's largest beach, Ensenada Grande, was named the Most Beautiful Beach in Mexico by The Travel Magazine and as one of the 12 best beaches in the world.  The authors of the article described it as having "seas the colour of Curaçao, wedding-cake white sands, nail-varnish pink volcanic cliffs and inhabited by clouds of yellow butterflies and the odd boojum tree".

This unique tour will get you way off the beaten track, as we take you through mountain villages on the way to Marina Costa Baja in La Paz, where we'll board a boat and head for Los Islotes were you will have the chance to experience the most amazing snorkeling of all with lots of friendly sea lions to keep you company. Keep an eye out for friendly dolphins along the way! 

Enjoy lunch on Isla Espiritu Santo, where you'll have some free time to swim, snorkel, enjoy the bay, or hike around and explore. When it's time to return to the mainland, we'll return to La Paz. Then it's off down the famous Pacific Highway, enjoying one of the Baja's famous sunsets along the way.
