For anyone looking for natural beauty, thrills and a piece of history, the home of adventure tourism - Loreto, is the perfect place.
1. Swimming with the Whale Sharks - No not an actual shark shark with teeth that will eat you or your friend, but a whale shark that is harmless and completely non threatening to humans. They feed only through filters and eat plankton

and super tiny fish that get scooped up with the plankton. Whale sharks are the world's largest fish and can grow up to 65 feet and weigh whopping 75,000 lbs. Whale shark season is late winter to May.
2. A Hike up into the pools and waterfalls of Tabor Canyon-

About 8 miles to the south of Loreto Bay is a deep canyon that goes way up into the Sierra de la Giganta Mountain range. There you will find waterfalls and freshwater pools deep enough to jump into from your perch and go for a refreshing dip.
3. Island Snorkel Tours-
There are 4 Islands off the Coast of Loreto- three of which are right in front and are anywhere from a 15 minute to 35 minute boat ride from Loreto Bay. My personal favorite is Danzante Island and going to Honeymoon cove. The cove is protected from the currents and has

crystal clear aqua blue water and white white sand. The snorkeling is great as there are many reefs there. Don't forget to charter your tour with lunch included for about $70 per person. You can book your tour here.
4. Scuba Diving- Right in front of Loreto Bay is the National Marine Park of Loreto measuring over 2,065 sq. Kilometers or close to 800 sq. miles and has over 50 diving sites to discover.
The Loreto National Marine Park is on the nation's list of World Protected Heritage Sites and has over 800 species of Marine Life, many of them currently endangered. To explore the underwater world of Loreto, book your tour here.
4. Explore the Ancient Cave Paintings - One name of the lips of archeology experts is Baja California Sur. Located in the Sierra de La Giganta mountains located 9 miles west of Loreto, are a set of abstract figures found in a site called La Pingüica.
They depict the ideology of peninsular life showing dozens of humans yielding weapons as well as images of various animals. They are considered some of the best examples of cave paintings. To explore ancient history in Loreto, you can find more info on a guided tour here.
5. Glass Bottom Boat - A new addition to Loreto is the Loreto Coastal Expeditions,
