Loreto is a region of many facets, possessing nearly 250 km. of coastline, 750 square km. of sea and 14 islands. The Sierra La Giganta mountain range, one of the tallest and most spectacular in Baja, overlooks the town of Loreto affording breathtaking panoramic vistas. The land is rich with unique plant and animal life and the water teems with aquatic life, offering unlimited eco-touristic opportunities. The weather of Loreto is generally warm with more than 300 sunny days and a year round temperature averaging in the 80's.

Having tremendous diversity, Loreto has much to offer for the entire family and the adventure traveler. In addition to its legendary sportfishing, you can enjoy numerous outdoor activities such as swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, golf, beachcombing, horseback riding, tennis, kayaking and sailing. Or soothe your palate with Loreto's delicious traditional cuisine in a quaint, small town ambiance. On a trip to the nearby islands, you can marvel at the marine life that includes sea lions, exotic birds, playful dolphins and whales. In town and in the mountains at San Javier, you can explore ancient missions and captivate your mind with the local history. Awaiting you at the Nopolo Sports Center is a seaside golf course with 18 challenging holes and a tennis center containing nine lighted courts, a stadium, and a swimming pool. And for those wishing to do nothing at all, try tanning while relaxing in the tranquil ambiance of the indigo hued Sea of Cortez.

If you are ready to build your dream home or you are just visiting, it is time to make plans to discover the warm Mexican charm and hospitality of Loreto, the Baja destination where even the mountains swim.
