 Baja & Los Cabos (Lonely Planet)
The mere mention of sun-soaked Baja makes your muscles turn to toffee. Kayak off the coast of La Paz, snorkel through coral, whale watch, bird spot, beachcomb - chill out. Crack open a caguama (that's Baja for beer) and get a front row seat for the show-stopping sunset.
Just west of the Mexican mainland and south of the US border lies the Baja Peninsula. Once you set foot in Baja, it's adios, troubles! Trade them in for endless beaches and cacti-filled deserts, fresh fish tacos and mouth-watering margaritas, or all-night parties in crazy Cabo. Baja is the land of lovely beaches, remote deserts, and crystalline waters. Whether you want to view ancient Indian rock art, surf off Islas de Todos Santos, or savor the best margarita in Ensenada, Lonely Planet reveals the best of Baja on and off the tourist track.
Find your way with more than 30 detailed maps of the region, plus a handy fold-out trip map for trekking down the Transpeninsular. Savor the flavor with reviews of the tastiest taquerías and world-class restaurants, plus an overview of Baja's food & drink written by an expert in the field. The special activities chapter gives you the score on whale-watching, diving, kayaking, fishing, golf, and more. Rest easy in beach cabañas, colonial inns, swanky five-star resorts, and other fine spots to lay your sombrero. Shop 'til you drop when you learn where to buy Mexican silver, blankets, handicrafts, or even a Cabo Wabo tank top.
