WATCH THE VIDEO

 

Todos Santos, B.C.S. is one of Mexico’s Pueblos Mágicos—a designation given to towns that offer a unique blend of culture, history, and charm. Just a short drive from Cabo San Lucas or La Paz, this vibrant town is a perfect day trip for travelers looking to slow down and soak in authentic Baja vibes.

In just one day, you can explore its colonial streets, taste incredible food, walk through living history, and catch one of the most breathtaking sunsets on the peninsula.

 

🌵 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

At the heart of the town lies the Mission of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, originally founded in 1733. This simple yet beautiful church has seen centuries of change and remains a peaceful symbol of faith and resilience. Whether you're spiritual or not, it’s a quiet place worth visiting.

 

🥗 Garden-to-Table Flavors at Jazamango

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.

 

🌊 Sunset at The Green Room

No day in Todos Santos is complete without watching the sun dip into the Pacific. Head to The Green Room, a beachfront restaurant just north of town. With your toes in the sand, a drink in hand, and a plate of fresh seafood in front of you, this is the perfect way to end the day.

As the sky turns to shades of gold and pink, you’ll understand why people fall in love with Todos Santos.
