Discover Loreto

"Getting to Loreto is easy: Alaska Airlines has two-hour direct flights from Los Angeles four times a week (perfect for a long weekend getaway) and there’s a seasonal flight from Calgary that flies out weekly during high season from November through May (check schedules for details)."

The remote feel and incredible scenery of Loreto make way for an amazing, laid-back romantic escape.

"What is also unexpected are the quiet deserted beaches, uncluttered views of the world-famous “Sea of Cortez” surrounded by the rugged, but stunningly, unmolested Baja desert that has attracted explorers and adventurers for centuries on its 4,447 acres with miles of hiking trails."

Of course we already know right?!

Good read for Loreto fans: "I’ll end the day back in a cozy hotel at seaside in Loreto. Over a cold beer I’ll tell strangers how I’ve fallen in love with the raw beauty of Baja’s high desert. The giant spider, they can keep."

“I am an oceanographer and now I live here in the mountains. Lots of things grow here. The weather is a little different, and there is mucho agua — lots of water!”

Whether on elaborate treks to see ancient art or riding a mule to a remote goat farm, there’s plenty to write home about from these mountains of Central Baja.

Glen Sather, president of the New York Rangers, recalls Penguins first playoff trip while keeping an eye on the Stanley Cup Final between the Penguins and Nashville Predators from a home he owns in Loreto Bay, Mexico.

"Loreto lies an hour’s drive south, a town backdropped by Isla Del Carmen and the protected waters of Parque Nacional Bahía de Loreto. Don’t miss the side trip of about 20 miles to the village of San Javier. Challenges include missing chunks of pavement, scattered rock fall, a 100-yard stretch of uphill gravel and slippery vados—low water crossings. The reward is an intimate canyon ride with low-flying turkey vultures, yellow and white butterflies, our first glimpse of flowing water in the desert and an end-of-the-road lunch and beer outside a church dating to the mid-1700s."

"Amazingly enough, thanks to restauranteur Norma Beatriz Garcia (restaurant 1697 downtown Loreto), there is an emerging craft beer story to be told. So we met up with Norma, and Kieran, the brewmaster, to learn more."

"I moved to a sleepy little village called Loreto Bay just 4 days after I turned 50. I teach women's retreats and taught a few here and decided why not make this my home base and so without really knowing anyone I loaded up my suitcases and my 5 pound dog that I call Baja Bruce and moved."

I couldn't stop. The tears were streaming down my face, I couldn't breathe. I was stuck. Literally stuck. Was this a panic attack? Panic attack? I don't have panic attacks!

Today’s Loreto is just downright charming and seems eons away from the bad news we often hear coming out of Mexico. The residents like to tell visitors that they are the authentic Mexico — welcoming, laid back, peace-loving, colorful, hard-working and proud of this historic home town.

Efforts to turn the seaside village of Loreto into a major destination have been going on for years. So far, though, the results have been limited, and that in itself makes it worth visiting. Loreto is already a gem - a historic town nestled between gold-hued mountains and the blue Sea of Cortez. It…
