What Makes It Magical
Seen from afar and from an elevated perspective, the Magical Town of Loreto makes an impact for many reasons. It seems to be a place where only the most fortunate live.
Loreto has conserved the traditions of a fishing town, and yet it is cosmopolitan; it seems isolated, but there is so much to do; it’s simple, but nearby is one of the world’s top golf courses. The Sea of Cortez and the Sierra de la Giganta are its most precious treasures, but it also has colonial missions and cave paintings. All of this will beguile you.
