Yoga / Surfing / Horseback Riding on the Beach
We'll start off this great vacation with some early morning yoga on the Los Colibris Yoga Sky Deck. With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the palm oasis and the Sierra La Laguna Mountains, it is a truly breath taking experience. Afterwards we'll have a terrific Mexican breakfast then head to Los Cerritos, one of the best surf breaks in the Baja peninsula. With a smooth sandy bottom, small waves that break close to shore, and crystal clear waters, Los Cerritos is a wonderful place to learn to surf and/or improve your skills. Our instructors guarantee that you’ll ride the waves - at least for a moment – during your very first lesson!
In the afternoon we'll head out for a horseback ride through the palms and along the beach. Baja California Sur is built on ranchero culture, and horseback riding in and around Todos Santos is a great way to get a taste of that traditional life, and also to explore the area´s beautiful ecosystems and wildlife habitats. Our guides are not only experienced riders, but also avid birders and naturalists who enjoy sharing their local knowledge. This evening we'll enjoy dinner at another of the town's great restaurants.

Swimming with the Sea Lions / Pizza Night
Today we take a break from surfing for a truly incredible experience, snorkeling and playing with the sea lion pups at the permanent sea lion colony of Los Islotes. These fun-loving marine mammals love playing and interacting with humans, and are always disappointed that we can never keep up a game of tag as long as they can. Getting to the sea lion colony is half the fun, as we regularly see dolphins, whales, mantas, sea turtles, coastal birds and more on the way there and back.
We cap off this wonderful day with a delicious picnic lunch at one of the gorgeous beaches on the incomparable Isla Espiritu Santo. It’s an absolutely fabulous day! 90 minute drive to/from La Paz. This evening we'll grab some pizzas on our way back to Los Colibris and enjoy some pizza and libations around the pool.

Yoga / Surfing / Historical Town Tour / Mexican Cooking Class
Today we'll continue with our yoga and surfing routine, but today at the beach we'll really start focusing on learning to read the waves, getting the rhythm of how you can catch them yourself without instructor assistance. You should start seeing a good increase in your skill level today.
We'll have lunch terrific lunch at a local restaurant, then enjoy an historical town tour of Todos Santos. Todos Santos has a rich and varied history, from the early missionaries, through the booming sugar years, through its current incarnation as an artists’ colony, agricultural center and surfing hotspot. On this guided tour we will visit many of the historic homes and buildings throughout town, learning fascinating stories of the global forces and colorful personalities that brought these buildings into existence and shaped Todos Santos over the years.
In the evening we'll enjoy a Mexican survival cooking class with local lawyer-turned-chef, Iker Algorri, author of Cooking Adventures in Baja California Sur. First, learn to make the perfect margarita. Second, pay attention because you have to eat what you make! Dancing known to follow.
