🌵 Morning Stroll Through Town
Start your day wandering the cobblestone streets of downtown Todos Santos. Once a prosperous sugar cane town in the 1800s, it faced decline before being rediscovered by artists, surfers, and dreamers. Today, it thrives with creativity, galleries, boutique shops, and relaxed energy.
One of the town's most iconic landmarks is the Hotel California. While there’s debate about whether it inspired the famous Eagles song, there’s no denying the character and mystique of this historic hotel. Step inside to admire its vintage décor, colorful patio, and curated art collection.
⛪ Step Into the Past

Just a short walk from the center is Jazamango, a culinary oasis by renowned Chef Javier Plascencia. Here, the garden is the star. Ingredients are harvested daily from the surrounding land, creating vibrant, seasonal dishes that reflect Baja’s richness.
Enjoy lunch surrounded by fragrant herbs and blooming flowers as you savor dishes that celebrate the region’s flavors. It’s more than a meal—it’s a connection to the land.
