The Road to La Paz – The Promised Land

For virtually the whole time we've been on Indian Summer thoughts had been focussed on getting to La Paz and experiencing the diving, fishing, food and natural beauty it's so famous for. As it was our next port of call we were all very excited. After leaving Cabo behind we had a three, one night stopovers before we got there. The first was in Los Frailes near the only hard coral reef on the Pacific side of Mexico, Cabo Pulmo. Whether we actually found the best place to snorkel, we don't know. The bits we did see however did not live up to the billing of one of the finest coral reefs in the world. Green water and very little in the way of coral and fish life meant we did not stay another night. The second stop on the way to La Paz was Ensenada de los Muertos, “The Bay of the Dead”. A very pleasant little bay that is the gateway to reputedly one of the best fishing areas in the sea of Cortez. As usual though, we didn't catch anything :( Our 3rd and final stop was in a bay just north of La Paz called Ballandro Bay. A gorgeous little spot, perfect for the steak BBQ we had that evening in anticipation and celebration of arriving in the promised land the next day.
