Todos Santos Eco Adventures

Espiritu Santo National Park in the Sea of Cortez is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the best marine life viewing destinations in the world. Whales, dolphins, whale sharks, sea turtles, manta rays and plenty of beautiful tropical fish call the surrounding waters home, while a terrific range of bird species frequent the island’s skies and shores. Camp Cecil is on one of the island´s most beautiful beaches and features comfortable tents (with real beds!) and Espiritu Xantus Café, where our on-site chef makes wonderful meals for you every day – and daily happy hour of course.

You can spend each day doing exactly what pleases you – kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, swimming with sea lions, stand up paddle boarding, bird watching. Checking out cave art, hidden lagoons, deserted beaches. Reading, napping, swimming, chillin’. Sipping margaritas, gazing at stars. It’s a remarkable place to explore.

Settle into luxury tent camps in two of Baja California’s most beautiful nature reserves – Isla Espiritu Santo in the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra La Laguna Biosphere Reserve in the mountains that form the spine of the peninsula. Through these camps you can experience the luxury of Baja Sur’s pristine wilderness while also enjoying the luxury of “camping” with real beds, soft linens, lovely furnishings, chef-prepared meals, and daily happy hour. It is truly the best of both worlds! We also spend a little time at a boutique hotel in Todos Santos so we can add more of the adventures that Baja is famous for – surfing, swimming with whale sharks, and Mexican cooking classes.
