Five reasons to visit Baja California Sur in summer
Summer in Baja California Sur invites you to explore the coast, desert landscapes and towns at your own pace. This route brings together five ideas from the original June 2024 story: surfing around East Cape and San José del Cabo, the food of Todos Santos, Cañón de la Zorra, the islands of the Sea of Cortez, and a stay in La Ventana.
1. Surfing around East Cape and San José del Cabo
Build a surf-focused stop around East Cape and San José del Cabo, with time to explore away from the water. The original itinerary pairs East Cape’s coastal setting with San José’s cultural life and evenings in town. These are two different ways to experience the southern part of the peninsula, with surfing as the thread connecting them.

2. The food of Todos Santos
Make room in your route for a meal in Todos Santos. The original story highlights its food alongside its beaches and bohemian character, from fish tacos to more elaborate cooking. A food-focused stop gives the journey another rhythm: sit down, explore the town and spend time with the flavors of Baja California Sur.

3. The landscapes of Cañón de la Zorra
Cañón de la Zorra brings a different landscape into the route: a desert oasis, canyon scenery and waterfalls. Give this stop time of its own instead of treating it as another beach visit. The contrast between the desert and the water is what makes this part of the original itinerary stand out.

4. The islands of the Sea of Cortez
The islands shift the focus back to the sea, with marine landscapes, beaches and wildlife at the center of the visit. Snorkeling, diving and kayaking are among the activities that inspired this section of the original story. The accompanying film offers another look at the Sea of Cortez and its islands.
5. La Ventana and ChiloChill
Finish the route in La Ventana, with time beside the Sea of Cortez and a slower pace between outings. The town brings the coastal side of the journey together: sea views, outdoor time and a place to return to after exploring.
At ChiloChill, beachfront glamping puts your stay close to the sea. Make space for the sunrise and for time at camp as part of the trip itself. This is the La Ventana stop in the original story: a place to pause between the other destinations on the route.
La Ventana as your starting point
Start and end a longer Baja route in La Ventana. East Cape, San José del Cabo, Todos Santos and Cañón de la Zorra can each be separate stops, with overnight stays along the way if that suits your plans. Choose the places that interest you and give each one the time you want to spend there.
Plan your summer route
A summer journey through Baja California Sur can bring together a surf-focused coast, the food of Todos Santos, desert scenery and the islands of the Sea of Cortez. Let La Ventana and ChiloChill be part of that route, with time to explore and time to enjoy your stay.
