La Paz, the capital city of Baja California Sur, is rich in culture, sights, and beauty. To enjoy our day in this lovely city, we set out for several activities: a tour of the city’s murals and art, a visit to the local eco-park to birdwatch, and a trip to historic El Triunfo. There is much to see in this wonderful region, and we were excited to explore. Our local guide showed us street art and told us stories about the city’s culture. We saw an impressive 47 species of birds on our walk! Lastly, the trip to El Triunfo showed us parts of the rich history of the area.
This morning, we visited San Jose del Cabo for a morning of birding, photography, and exploring this lovely town on the southeast coast of Baja. Between the different birding groups, there were over sixty species spotted in the lush estuary on the edge of town. There was also some shopping done during the town visit, and the weather was perfect for both activities! In the afternoon, National Geographic Venture cruised north while looking for wildlife, and we were not disappointed. Humpback whales and a megapod of common dolphins entertained us until the sun was setting and cocktail/recap hour began. It was a great end to a very special day!
