Rental cars in La Paz allow you to get around quickly or head off the beaten path. For a leisurely pace, bike or stroll along the city's main street, Malecon Road, where you can shop, sight-see, or sample amazing seafood. The zocalo (main square) is Velasco Garden, offering cultural activities both day and night. You can enjoy the open, shaded space and gaze at the beautiful Catedral de Nuestra Senora de la Paz. Eco-tourists will relish a visit to the Sea of Cortez. Named the Aquarium of the World by Jacques Cousteau, thousands of gray whales migrate here each winter to give birth.
Thanks to warm weather year-round, there's no such thing as an off season in La Paz. Start the year at the Todos Santos Music Festival, also home to the Hotel California (sorry—not the one on that famous album cover). Winter is also the time for gray whale festivals, at which you might get a close-up view of these beautiful animals. If you crave excitement, there are several off-road races throughout the year on some of the roughest desert roads imaginable. If your outdoor sporting tastes are mellower, check out the Bisbee Fishing Tournament in mid-September. There are several La Paz packages for every season and activity—including a classic vacation for Cinco de Mayo, Mexico's national holiday.
