La Paz, Capital city in Baja California Sur, Mexico
La Paz stretches along the protected bay of the Gulf of California, featuring a waterfront promenade that extends for several kilometers beside turquoise waters.
Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés established the initial settlement on May 3, 1535, naming the area Santa Cruz Bay before it later became La Paz.
The city maintains strong connections to marine life through its fishing traditions, seafood gastronomy, and conservation efforts in the Gulf of California.
The Manuel Márquez de León International Airport connects La Paz with major Mexican cities and seasonal flights to United States destinations.
Local waters contain numerous islands where visitors can observe sea lions, whale sharks, and multiple species of whales during migration seasons.
