You’re sure to hear about the debate around the Hotel California in Todos Santos. There are many people who are convinced that this is the *actual* Hotel California that inspired the famous song, and I’ve had multiple tour guides in town run me through a list of evidence that it is. The Eagles actually sued the hotel over the use of the name, but you’ll have to be the judge here of this fun local lore.

Expert Insights
Whalewatching in Baja California Sur is by no means limited to Todos Santos. You can find whalewatching tours all over the region – on both the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez sides of the peninsula. The industry is highly regulated for the protection of the whales, but you’re in for a treat no matter where you go whalewatching in the area.

Travel Onward Through Baja California Sur
Los Cabos, or further up the Baja California peninsula to other parts of Baja California Sur that feel much more untouched. Lively yet still laidback La Paz with its stunning Balandra Beach, and then Loreto with its stunning offshore islands, world class diving, and ultimate small beachtown feel.
Expert Insights
Baja California Sur is one of my favorite parts of Mexico, and I’m convinced it perfectly caters to every type of traveler. Adventurous travelers should head north for Loreto, a tiny, laidback beach town with incredible diving, off-roading, and historic missions. For a mix of convenience and cool new accommodations, La Paz is a great destination, also renowned for its diving, migrating whale sharks, and a few new cool boutique hotels you’ll love.
