Love this Ashley!! Thanks for recommending us too! Hope to see you underwater with us again soon! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!! 😁
You just warmed my heart with your ending to this video. My wife and I are spending a week with Jamie and Baja Wild Encounters and I wanted to see the area first. You did an amazing job representing the same eco friendly nature and vibe as us. Keep doing what you are doing!
Hey there awesome video. I will be spending two weeks down in La Paz and La Ventana... really curious about where that cove for snorkeling was at about the 5:44 mark.
Brilliant, you will love the area. And if you’re going out on ocean safaris, every day is a surprise. The snorkeling at 5:44 is near Bahia de Los Muertos
A friend and I are looking at a possible trip to Loreto and Mulegé in the near future. Am also curious about La Ventana for a possible future trip. A couple of questions: 1) What time of year were you there? 2) Was it pretty windry? Thanks for posting this video with so much great information! I love that the community is coming together to sort through their issues.
It is really inspiring to see. As ocean tourism grows I have the best wishes for them. Many incredible people living in that town. Highly recommend Mulege and Loreto. Mulege is stunning! Jaw dropping water and islands all around. There are places to camp, I believe all are for a fee. Worth it. Loreto is a Pueblo magico town and for good reason. It is quaint, feels like home kind of place. Amazing people. Popular for blue whales. I was in La Ventana March - July. The high wind season (for kite surfing) is November - March.
Thank you! Depends on what you want to see, what you want to do and if you will have a car. Mostly people from La Paz will go to LV for day trips or weekend adventures. However there are not many collectivos or regular buses going back and forth. If you are renting a car or will have a car, I would suggest LV for the majority of the time but still carve out time to explore La Paz
thank you! Yeahhhh, I did hear a lot of chit chat about her buying up property all around that area, but I'm not exactly sure where she all owns property, I also heard she owns a lots of land in La Paz
Ms.Kaye more eyes need to be on your channel and yourself... I am very familiar with BCS.. thank you for not holding names and places as a guarded secret.. La Ventana is an overlooked destination when considered places to stay.... There are locally owned B&B and hotels as well
Hey thank you and I agree haha. More videos coming soon, hopefully more eyes come with that. It's overlooked but rapidly growing, lots of amazing people living there.
Today we tried to get to that isolated cove near Ensenada de los Muertos but the guard would not let us through the gate. We told him we wanted to go to la playa and he pointed us to the road that runs back down to the boat launch and restaurant. What did you tell him?
It seems they deny everyone entry, except homeowners now. He never asked me anything, except for the very last time when I was leaving he asked what house and I just gracias Feliz día and headed home.
Surprised at the finish of your video, and really enjoyed your personal thoughts and dedication to sustainability and helping I feel the same way Anyway, I sent you an earlier message regarding where I might stay as you did for a month or so in or near la Ventana My ultimate goal is to find a place to retire as a single adult male in my early 60s with a limited budget of Social Security and some investments Look forward to your reply, and any information you can share and keep up the good work and enjoy Steve 😎🤙🏻
Hey, not sure where you sent the message? If you’re looking for a cheap retirement place Mexico is NOT it lol especially Baja - the prices are essentially the same as California.
This is a sad reality and something many tourist never learn about. When I was in that area of Baja I also sadly noticed in restaurants locals being served less to focus on tourist dollars. It's not right
I appreciate your prompt reply to my recent message Well, I have been researching retirement in Mexico for several years now and focused mostly on the Pacific Coast, Puerto Escondido, Sayulita, etc. etc Although those areas, as have many, many others, become much more popular in the last five years, and let's not even begin talking about the residency financial requirements, Mexico, at least theses areas are MUCH less costly than here in Sonoma County California. I am quite disappointed in your " cut and dry " statement that Mexico and Baja / Baja Sur is not a good option for me Perhaps you are not familiar with other parts of mexico Good luck Steve
First, I said it’s expensive no where did I not it’s not a good option FOR YOU. Second, while you have researched online I have actually lived in many different states of Mexico for over one year and traveled the entire country. Third, recommend actually living in those area to make an accurate real life assessment based off of first hand knowledge and experience not just internet searches. Lastly, it should be noted that the areas you noted, if you actually care about sustainability those would be the places to avoid further destroying. These areas have not simply “become much more popular in the last 5 years” foreigners have saturated and destroyed these areas over the last two decades. They have gentrified every aspect of life. Not only pushing locals and indigenous out of their homes but also changing the natural landscapes aka destroying nature, gentrifying the food and way of life.
@@RexPonder-y6b it’s not the most expensive but it’s growing. Cabo San Lucas and Tulum are way way more expensive … sadly. Agree with you LVES from end of Nov - March is overrun with those who chase the wind around the world. It’s great income but there are a lot of downsides to things like this
Love this Ashley!! Thanks for recommending us too! Hope to see you underwater with us again soon! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!! 😁
Most welcome 🐋 sadly won’t make it this season but hopefully be there for 2025 !!
One of my favorite places in Baja Sur

Thank you! There's so much to explore in La Ventana, hopefully inspire some to seek out other places.
You just warmed my heart with your ending to this video. My wife and I are spending a week with Jamie and Baja Wild Encounters and I wanted to see the area first. You did an amazing job representing the same eco friendly nature and vibe as us. Keep doing what you are doing!
So glad to hear you enjoyed it and you will have a smashing time with Jamie and Baja! When will you be visiting La Ventana?
Woooo we can't wait to see you 💙 it's going to be a fun time!! 😁

Hello I love seeing your video , we are taking kids to Los Cabos first time in January. Would you recommend La Ventana over La Paz? Thank you so much

However there are not many collectivos or regular buses going back and forth.

Super nice video.. fyi did u kmow Cristina Walton own most of the Town la ventana , and also Is looking for gold there.
thank you! Yeahhhh, I did hear a lot of chit chat about her buying up property all around that area, but I'm not exactly sure where she all owns property, I also heard she owns a lots of land in La Paz

5:05 living in los planes all my life, the guard in that port refuses to le us cross twice :(

That’s amazing you saw sperm whales…. Just amazing…
and there were so many!! It was just incredible !! In total all around the boat there were 40-50 of them
Ya more expensive than the United States now.
depends where you are and what you buy, but yes south of Ensenada Baja is basically prices of California USA
The most expensive place in Mexico. Over run with gringos

Bye the way you can't swim there.
@@RexPonder-y6b you can’t swim where? Anyone is allowed to swim anywhere in the ocean. No one owns the ocean
