There's a lot more to La Paz than just these 5 things. Walk the Malecon at night, have fish tacos at El Estadio tacos (about 8-10 blocks from the Malecon and only open 8am to 2pm). Get tacos in the evening from Los Prietos (maybe six blocks from the malecon?) Watch a soccer, baseball or basketball game at one of the three stadiums. There are tons of restaurants, bars and clubs to go to downtown and unlike Cabo San Lucas you won't constantly be approached by people trying to sell you coke or escorts. La Paz is probably the safest city in Mexico and is very safe by US or Canadian standards.
There’s definitely more to do than just these things. I think it’s impossible to list everything to do in a place on a quick RUclips video. And I did talk about the Malecon in the video 😉 Thank you for sharing these extra suggestions though! Definitely will have to check out those tacos next time we visit 😊
They were filming a movie! I don’t think it was a big production but they didn’t want us walking in some of the dunes so our footsteps wouldn’t be on them 😅 we should have asked exactly what movie but didn’t.
Hi! We went with The Hook Experiences. They weren’t the cheapest but weren’t the most expensive either. We had a great time and would highly recommend. They also do whale shark tours if you’ll be there during whale shark season. fareharbor.com/embeds/book/thehooklapaz/items/?flow=907095&full-items=yes
I have 4 nights, arrive in Cabo. How many days I split between Cabo and la Paz? Is Isla espiritu Santo and play bandara makes it worth it I guess. Is there anything in Cabo you loved?@@AnyoneCanTravel
@goutfromfriedokra In Cabo I feel like the arch and lovers beach are a must see. It’s a shorter tour but still fun. If you’ll be in Cabo on a Thursday I hear the art walk in San Jose del Cabo is fun too. The food was good in Cabo. I loved Taqueria Xitlaly and La Panaderia in San Jose del Cabo. I’d say 1-2 days in Cabo depending if you want a whole day to lay on the beach in Cabo or do other tours/hikes and 2-3 days in La Paz. 😊
Do you recommend I do tours in Cabo or do it yourself? Any great snorkel in Cabo?And should I rent my own car to la Paz , safe enough?it seems like la playa bandora beach and Isla espirto snorkel is the way to go.@@AnyoneCanTravel
@goutfromfriedokra I would do tours for water activities that you can’t do yourself like the Cabo arch, snorkeling, and whale watching (if it’s the right season). We didn’t snorkel in Los Cabos so I can’t really compare, but just from the differences in the water color/clarity I would think La Paz is better. I say rent a car if that fits your budget! Definitely makes it easier to get to balandra and other beaches outside of La Paz. Just make sure your reservation includes third party liability insurance or you’ll be charged more when you arrive.
Thanks! I would say the malecon is a big part of downtown. I did walk over to the cathedral and the art museum and it’s a pretty little square but the natural beauty is really the best part of La Paz. If you have extra time visiting the cathedral is nice but not a must see in my opinion. The ayuntamiemto of La Paz is just a white office building and not anything special like in other Mexico cities like Puebla or Mexico City for example, so we didn’t even visit it. It’s also no where near the “downtown” area. You can google it to see what I mean.
Really!? I found it to be more affordable than Los Cabos and most the activities we did were free except for the sea lion tour. This area of Mexico is more expensive for being so popular with tourists in general though too.
The rentals, food, transportation and activities are much more affordable than many places in the US. I've been living here the past 4 years and I'm still here.

Great video!
Thank you! ❤️
Great video and list! Im excited to visit next month :) This was very helpful
Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful trip 😊
Great footage!
Thank you! ❤️
Oh, so nice! Why so short? :)))
Thank you!
This is just a quick summary. I have two other longer and more detailed videos about La Paz as well 😊
Great list! I'd love to get into snorkeling more. Do you know what the people were doing walking in a line at the same dunes?
They were filming a movie! I don’t think it was a big production but they didn’t want us walking in some of the dunes so our footsteps wouldn’t be on them 😅 we should have asked exactly what movie but didn’t.
@@AnyoneCanTravel woah, that's pretty cool!
Great video Isla Espiritu Santo tour looks interesting can you share the company you went on your tour

But why not show downtown and ayundamiento?

It’s the capital of the state
Yes it is! I’m not sure what that has to do with the ayuntamiento not being a building I’d recommend tourists visit though.
i go to la paz soon on business, if it works out i move there
How fun! You’ll love La Paz. It’s a beautiful area!
Boy is it gone way up in price. Nice place to visit. But can't afford to live there.

my mom's a real estate agent in La Paz, you can get really nice houses for 150k USD

What an amazing place to live! We definitely found it more affordable than the US like much of Mexico. Thanks for sharing 😊
