About La Paz
La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur, on the Sea of Cortez. Ships dock at Puerto Pichilingue, a working ferry and energy port about 12 miles north of the city, so walking from the pier is not realistic. Cruise lines often offer shuttles into town, and taxis are another option. Most visitors stroll the malecón, see the cathedral, browse the downtown markets or head to Balandra Beach.

Whale shark swims typically run from about November to April, depending on the year, and half-day snorkeling trips explore the waters near Espíritu Santo. Booking through the ship is usually the safer choice.
