Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together. Martínez-Ballesté, Andrea; Ezcurra, Exequiel (2018). "Reconstruction of past climatic events using oxygen isotopes in Washingtonia robusta growing in three anthropic oases in Baja California Sur".

Most are fairly small scale operations, bottling under 100,000 cases annually. The Mediterranean climate, morning fog from the Pacific, and valley topography feel pretty similar to parts of California. The major wine-making sub-regions here including Valle de Guadalupe, Valle de Calafia, Valle de San Vincente, and Valle de Santo Tomás, are characterized by granite-rich alluvial soils – attributes you might expect to find in the Northern Rhône Valley of France. Three years ago, my boyfriend and I rented a car to explore the southern tip of the peninsula, mountain-biking the foothills above Los Barriles, snorkeling with sea lions off Isla Espí‪ritu Santo, and eating whole grilled red snapper while sipping jalapeño margaritas at an under-the-radar restaurant on the edge of La Paz’s marina. Along the way, we found a wind-carved canyon pierced by sunlight above the Sea of Cortez and long stretches of empty Pacific white sand.

This product is handmade, it is not mass produced so slight differences and minor imperfections are common.Historically Bajas are associated with the culture of Hippies, surfers & skateboarders in America and often appear as the garment of choice for 'dudes' in films, notably Jeff Lebowski in The Big Lebowski. The weave of the fabric makes the Baja both breathable and warm and therefore a firm favourite for festival goers and people doing sporting activities. The tops are great for cool summer evenings and are available in sizes generous enough to wear with layers underneath. Luis Huller and George H. Sisson obtain a concession covering much of the present state in return for promises to develop the area. [14] Blaisdell, Lowell L. (1962). The Desert Revolution: Baja California, 1911.

The most abundant are Jeffrey pine, Pinus ponderosa, Pinus cembroides, Pinus quadrifolia, Pinus monophylla, Juniperus, Arctostaphylos pringlei subsp. drupacea, Artemisia ludoviciana and Adenostoma sparsifolium. Baja California shares many plant species with the Laguna Mountains and San Jacinto Mountains in southwest California. The lower elevations of the Sierra de Juárez are characterized by chaparral and desert shrub. Guadalupe Island and its surrounding waters, 250 kilometres (160mi) off the Pacific coast, has been designated the Guadalupe Island Biosphere Reserve to preserve endangered marine and terrestrial species of animals and plants.
