Day 6 - Optional Tour to Bahia de Los Angeles
We can extend your stay for an extra 2 days, if you’re interested in visiting Bahia de los Angeles.
Bahia the Los Angeles is an extremely unique habitat, where the Sea of Cortez gets much deeper along the San Andreas Fault. This creates upswell and currents, which brings rich nutrients and many pelagic species.
This enormous sheltered bay consists of many beautiful and remote islands. The largest island “Isla Angel de la Guarda” is almost 70 miles. This enormous island creates the sheltered conditions of the bay, with 5 other islands in between it and the shoreline. It’s one of the most unique topographies we’ve seen in all of Baja.
The small fishing town has a few restaurants and taco stands, as well as a small museum. You can spend a day at the beach and snorkel in the warm and clear waters. In the fall and summer months, whale sharks congregate in the bays and you can usually reach them from the shore. This is one of the most magical wildlife experiences you can ever have.
We can also take a trip out with Ricardo’s Diving Center to do the following:
1. Swim with the whale sharks (seasonal)
2. Get a tour of the islands and do some snorkeling
3. Spearfishing / deep sea fishing
4. Diving
We’ll be staying at one of the various beach camps along the bay in our standard bell tents. Please let us know if you’d like a custom itinerary for activities. The drive from Bahia San Luis de Gonzaga to Bahia de los Angeles is about 3 hours along HWY5. The road is well maintained and very safe.
