Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
The Mar de Cortés International Airport currently lacks regular scheduled flights. Most travelers arrive via road, utilizing the new highway which significantly reduces driving time from California by approximately 160km.
Best Season
Summer brings warm sea surface temperatures but also hot, muggy nights due to the water's influence. Given its location in the Altar Desert, the climate remains hot year-round, requiring travelers to prepare for high temperatures.
