Discover Todos Santos on the Baja California Peninsula
The Magical Town of Todos Santos is located in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Although it may seem small, this destination has a lot to offer, from an interesting and exciting history to attractions that seem to be from another world.
The explorer Jaime Bravo was the first to discover this place, which he considered an oasis, where he saw that it was inhabited by nomadic tribes of guaycuras, who took advantage of the water and collected shells from the beach.
Over the years, Todos Santos witnessed many religious and even health events, such as religious disputes, epidemics, foreign invasions, droughts, and even historical moments such as independence or the Mexican Revolution.
However, Todos Santos recovered from those tragedies and was considered a resting place by American writers and painters, who decided to establish their residence there.
What to do in Todos Santos?
Now that you know a little bit of the history of this tremendous Magical Town check out the following list where you will find all the activities to do: Historic Downtown; Hotel California; Las Playitas Turtle Sanctuar; Néstor Agúndez Cultural Center; Los Cerritos Beach; Todos Los Santos Gallery and Nuestra Señora Del Pilar Mission.
Historic Downtown
Nothing is better than walking through the beautiful streets of the Historic Center of Todos Santos since it is considered an oasis in the middle of a desert. This is due to the subway water filtrations. Besides visiting this beautiful area, visit the Plaza de Armas, a pleasant place surrounded by palm and coconut trees.
Hotel California
This property was founded in 1950 by Antonio Wong Tabasco and Trinidad Castillo, which is an icon of construction three years after its construction. It was later rumored that a song named the same way as the hotel, “Hotel California” by the group The Eagles, referred to this same property in Todos Santos or at least was inspired by it. It is said that a real estate agent started the rumor to give more publicity to the Magical Town.
