The Guaycura decorated their homes and ceremonial items with large pearls and wore intricate pearl jewelry. This was exactly what the Spanish were looking for, and they began invasions on the Guaycura. For about 50 years, control of La Paz’s shores bounced between warring factions until the Spanish succeeded in over-consuming the oysters to the point of near extinction.

The Spanish had won control of Baja California Sur, but La Paz didn’t become a major city until 1829 when it became the state capital. Major industries included agriculture, mining, fishing, and pearl farming after the return of oyster populations.

La Paz in the present

La Paz is known today for its glorious sunsets, bright turquoise waters, and of course, pearls. It has all the beachfront promenades and resort-style amenities of a typical Mexican vacation town, but with all the convenience of a major city. The Bay of La Paz has white sand beaches and is a short distance from tropical islands. The perfect vacation destination!

When you book a Daytrip airport transfer, your driver will have a sign at the arrivals gate with your name on it. This means one less thing to worry about when the plane lands if you don’t have immediate internet access. Travel made easy!

Have a change of clothes in your carry-on

Sometimes the difference between having a good and bad travel day is your outfit. Pack a second, comfortable outfit in your carry-on to change clothes in case something spills on you during the flight or you realize you hate wearing jeans while sitting on a plane for hours.

Shuttle buses from Los Cabos Airport to La Paz

Your shuttle bus experience will depend on many factors: the size of the shuttle bus, the number of drop-offs, and the waiting time at the airport. Shuttle bus operators wait until the bus is full before departing, so you may be waiting around at the airport until your bus is at capacity.

Once you arrive in La Paz, your shuttle bus will most likely drop everyone off at a central point, after which you will need to find transportation to your hotel. Some shuttle buses will take you straight to your hotel, but then you are waiting for other passengers to get dropped off first at their hotels.

Carefully read the terms for your shuttle bus before booking to ensure you are fully informed for the day of your transfer. Prices depend on the company and range from $40 to $100 per seat.

It is not far from La Paz’s shores. Boat tours typically last five to six hours, where you can snorkel in some of the most diverse waters in the world and even swim with sea lions.

Bask on Balandra Beach

Balandra Beach is an environmentally protected shoreline most known for its mushroom-shaped boulder and clear blue water. To preserve the delicate ecosystem, only 450 are allowed on the beach each day. In order to visit, you must choose from two time slots: in the morning from 8 AM to 12 PM or in the afternoon from 1 PM to 5 PM.

In order to make the cutoff, arrive at the beach 30 minutes before your time slot. You cannot register ahead of time, so you’ll be in a line of cars at the gate until they reach the daily quota.

Go hiking at Cerro de la Calavera

For unbeatable views of the sunset as far as the eye can see, you may have to work for it! Cerra de la Calavera (“Skull Hill”) is a trail with arches, caves, and natural rock formations along the edges of the cliffs that have been carved out by the wind, sand, and water over time. Its ominous name comes from the rocks’ resemblance to the eye sockets and nasal passages in skulls.
