Where is Loreto?

This balance makes Loreto a smart choice for buyers seeking seclusion without isolation. Explore a map of Baja California Sur
Whale Watching in the Sea of Cortez
From December through March, the warm, shallow waters of the Sea of Cortez welcome blue whales, humpbacks, and orcas as they migrate from the Arctic to give birth and nurse their young. Loreto Bay becomes one of the best places in the world to witness these giants in their natural habitat.
Many local tour operators offer unforgettable whale watching trips, with the chance to see the largest mammals on Earth just offshore. Book a whale-watching tour in Loreto
Loreto’s Deep Historic Roots
Founded in 1697, Loreto is home to Mission of Our Lady of Loreto, considered the first and “mother” of all missions on the Baja Peninsula. The Spanish originally believed Baja to be an island, and this town played a pivotal role in the early colonial expansion of the region.
Strolling through the historic center, you’ll find preserved architecture, local museums, and cultural landmarks that reflect Loreto’s unique role in Mexican history. Learn about the missions of Baja California Sur
