Highlights


A Baja yacht charter focuses on the superlative sailing, scenic and secluded anchorages, and exploring deserted islands rugged in their remote desert beauty. The fantastic snorkeling and scuba diving in some of the clearest water anywhere is still another delight to savor. The Sea of Cortez receives as many as 340 days of sunlight every year, its depths exceed two miles in some places, and the currents moving within it carry a rich cargo of plankton throughout the ecosystem, supporting California sea lions, sea rays, dolphins, and more than 500 species of tropical fish. Twelve species of whales (including the blue whale, the largest animal on Earth) breed in these waters. Few other places on the planet are as biologically diverse and unique. Add the Old World charm of sightseeing in La Paz and a Baja sailing vacation is an adventure that will inspire fond memories for years to come.


Money


Mexico's currency is the Mexican Peso, available in coins and bills in several denominations. The most common bills are $20, 50, 100, and 500. Coins are 50 cents, $1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos.
Most foreign currencies can be exchanged for Mexican pesos at any money exchange places, which generally offer more flexible business hours and faster service.
Hotels offer the least favorable exchange rate, while the best rate is available at money exchange places. Traveler checks can be cashed at a slightly lower rate than currency.
Although Dollars are widely accepted in most Mexican tourist centers, we advice you to use Mexican Pesos during your visit.
