I joined the 7 day adventure week and had the greatest vacation of my life. We got to hike waterfalls and pacific cliffs, surf at Pescadero Beach, snorkal with sea lions at Isla Espiritu Santos (North of La Paz), make potters with a mountain potter, Dona Ramona, and learned to make smoked marlin tacos and traditional Baja Margaritas at Senor Brown's cafe.

I learned about the native plants and animals of the area, had timeless experiences and made great friends with everyone I met.

They offer a 4 day trip as well and custom adventures also. Their extensive website shows all their offering, call or e-mail for prices on package tours. Hope you enjoy...

Located in the back of a stunning cactus garden is an internet cafe. I believe the outdoor patio restaurant that is also located in the cactus garden is called Cafe Listo. The internet cafe sells coffees and beers and other alcoholic drinks and the rate is approximatly 1 peso a minute (I think!!!) at any rate, it is very inexpensive to be online. You can also bring your own computer to plug in. The connection is relatively slow depending on the computer you get stuck with so it's best to bring your own.

Amanda and I bought our husbands surfboard for Christmas and it was a big hit. Here is Harry (my husband) with the new boards. One thing that was a major pain, however, was trying to ship the board back. We ended up checking it as luggage. When we turned up in Nashville, TN to visit some other friends, we got some strange looks!

We found out right away that beach bocce ball is something that the locals all do here. It's fun and a great way to meet people! Fridays were Boccee down at the beach and people would bring food and drinks and basically hang out and play boccee

Our dear friends Mike and Amanda made the stay in Todos Santos so much fun. We spent hours and hours playing a card game called shanghai outside on our patio deck. Whenever I get depressed, I think back to that time - it's really my "happy place."

If you love walking on the beach, Todos Santos is your place. Miles and miles of beautiful sand await. People drive straight on to the beach (a no-no in Florida) and unload their chairs, coolers, surfboards, kites, etc and spend the day at the beach. It's a great way to spend an afternoon!

Todos Santos has a big ex-patriate community. A lot people like to gather at a place called La Arca to do yoga in the mornngs. I highly recommend these classes! They are perfect for any level, open to the public, and they are very cheap, around 30 pesos or something ridiculous! They are led by a few different women, all of whom are very good. It's a good way to meet the locals and find out what's happening or who's throwing a patry!
