Touching down at Manuel Márquez de León International Airport puts you in one of Mexico's most popular beach towns - La Paz. With its prime spot on the Gulf of California and proximity to the Sea of Cortez, this is the perfect starting point for aquatic adventures. Hiring a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike ensures you have the freedom to explore La Paz and its surrounds at your own pace.
Cruise along the palm-fringed Malecon seaside walkway and feel the sea breeze in your hair as you watch fishermen bring in their daily catch. Wander the cobblestone streets and colonial buildings of the old town, taking in 18th-century churches and pretty plazas. Stop for a bite at one of the many roadside taco stands - the fresh fish tacos are a must-try.
Just outside the city, ride out to the vast expanse of sand dunes at La Ventana. Experience an exhilarating dune buggy ride over towering mounds of golden sand. Further south, watch for whales, dolphins and manta rays on a boat trip to the wildlife-rich waters of Espíritu Santo Island.
Dive or snorkel amongst an incredible diversity of marine life in the surrounding bays and inlets. With rugged desert landscapes, pristine beaches and incredible marine biodiversity right on the doorstep, La Paz is best explored on two wheels. Hiring your own set of wheels lets you discover secluded coves, scenic outlooks and quiet coastal villages at a pace that suits you.
