My brief foray into La Paz convinced me that I had
absolutely no desire to stay there. It’s
a big city (by Baja standards) with virtually no charm. I checked out one hostel that had gotten good
ratings, and there was no one there.
“Time to move on” I says to meself!
One of the things I wanted to do in Baja was to check out
some places for a future trip of whale watching. Baja California is where the grey whales go
in the winter to mate and have their babies.
I heard about an area called El Sargento on the Sea of Cortez, so headed
over there. I ended up staying at a
great little resort called Palapas Ventana, which has cabins overlooking the
beach, kite boarding, stand-up paddle boards, and scuba diving. They also have whale sharks on the Sea of
Cortez side and do paddle boarding trips to see grey whales on the Pacific side
in February. I think this is definitely
a place to return to. Not only that, but
they make GREAT margaritas, and the cook made me chile relleno filled with red
snapper and mango that was to die for. A
definite keeper!
