eco-touristic opportunities. The weather of Loreto is generally
warm with more than 300 sunny days and a year round temperature

Possessing
tremendous diversity, Loreto has much to offer for the entire
family. 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 the 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

do nothing at all, try tanning while relaxing with a margarita
in the tranquil ambiance of the indigo hued Sea of Cortez.
