The Sea Of Cortez
0 shoudios
Just 100 miles from the southwestern border of the United States, Las Animas Wilderness Retreat is on the shores of the Sea of Cortez. ?Mexico?s Galapagos? is so remote you must take a small plane and then a boat just to reach it. World-class fishing (some say the best in the world), snorkeling, whales, dolphins, birds, yurt-living, margaritas and sunset over a beach without electricity or hotels is worth the trouble. Only 20 guests at a time enjoy the magic of a place John Steinbeck called ?miraculous.? Ever swim with a 16-foot whale shark? Here, it?s a piece of cake.
