Loreto Living: September in Loreto

Loreto Living: September in Loreto

September in Loreto

Every year, we try to make two trips to Loreto. We have been going down since 2004. Although nowadays, we have to drive the two day and 750 mile trip since there are no more flights from San Diego - which is a bummer but it really isn't because we justify staying longer and have a great time sight seeing and experiencing all the different terrain of the northern and southern baja peninsula. - plus we pull a boat now and you can't really bring one on a plane.

Last year, we only made one trip in September. The weather in Loreto is stunningly beautiful starting in mid September. The dessert comes alive with flowers and green lushness after the heavy rains in July and August. It can be a little humid but quickly dries out around the 20th leaving an amazing floral scent just lingering in the air. September is such a great  time to be in Mexico because Mexico's Independence Day is celebrated during this month and there are Fiestas in a big way in Loreto's Town Square. One night in September, the Town Square is transformed into the most authentic mexican celebration with banners hanging from the municipal buliding, cafe's with table and chairs, school dance troops preforming traditional mexican folk dancing, fireworks, vedors selling michelados (a delicious combination of beer, clamato and spices over ice), children running freely and playing games, and it seems that everybody knows everybody in the community. Another really unique thing about Loreto in September is the yellow butterfly migration. It starts very slowly at the end of the month and within about three days, the ocean looks like it has snow falling on it because of all the beautiful butterflys migrating from the mainland. It is truly an amazing sight we look forward to everytime. It seems to renew your faith in the importance of the little things and reminds you that the beauty of nature comes in small packages too.
