Balandra Beach and La Paz Guided Tour with Pickup
Overview
Discover the charm of La Paz on this guided tour through its historic center, where colonial architecture, lively plazas, and local stories come together. Visit the Regional Museum to explore the rich history and culture of Baja California Sur, then browse colorful creations at the handicrafts center, perfect for finding unique souvenirs.
Next, we’ll head to the coast to admire the turquoise beauty of Playa Balandra, famous for its crystal-clear waters and iconic mushroom rock. As this is a protected natural area with a limited number of visitors allowed per day, we may instead visit another beautiful beach in La Paz if access is not available.
Finally, unwind at Playa Tecolote, where you’ll enjoy a delicious Mexican meal in a beachfront restaurant, relax under provided umbrellas, and soak in the serene seaside atmosphere before returning to the city.
