Baja California Sur and the Sea of Cortez
Excursiones de un día, viajes de varios días y expediciones.
Donde el desierto se encuentra con el mar y la vida salvaje forma parte del paisaje.
Aquí es donde nació Panterra, y donde décadas de exploración han moldeado nuestra visión del turismo experiencial. Desde las aguas turquesas del Mar de Cortés y las islas remotas hasta las montañas desérticas, el arte rupestre ancestral, las lagunas repletas de vida silvestre y las pequeñas comunidades costeras, Baja California ofrece una extraordinaria combinación de descubrimientos naturales y culturales.
Explora la zona en lancha, kayak, practicando snorkel, haciendo senderismo, en crucero o incluso desde el aire. Observa ballenas, delfines, leones marinos, tiburones ballena, tortugas marinas, aves y un sinfín de otras especies mientras aprendes sobre la geología, la historia natural y las culturas que hacen de esta región un lugar único.
Pero Baja California es más que un destino para la observación de vida silvestre. Es un aula viviente, y uno de los lugares donde el compromiso de Panterra con la investigación, la conservación, la educación y las conexiones con la comunidad cobra vida.
