La Paz, State capital in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
La Paz stretches along the Bay of La Paz at an elevation between sea level and 27 meters on the eastern coast of Baja California Peninsula.
Spanish explorers first documented La Paz Bay in 1533, followed by Hernan Cortes establishing an initial settlement that faced indigenous resistance and resource limitations.
The municipal area incorporates numerous educational institutions, including the University of Baja California Sur, which specializes in marine biology research and studies.
Manuel Marquez de Leon International Airport connects the region to major Mexican cities and seasonal flights reach destinations in the United States.
The municipality ranks as Mexico's fourth largest administrative division by land area, containing both urban developments and extensive natural territories.
