CASABUENA           BED AND BREAKFAST

Drug violence in Mexico has not found it's way to La Paz. So far so good...Mexico's drug violence has permeated the media for a while now.

La Paz and southern Baja in general has so far avoided any significant drug violence. Our crime stats are overall remarkably low.

Clearly there are big time problems but so far they have remained on the mainland and in border regions. Travel warnings and the media seem to overlook these distinctions.

A growing city with a 'small town' feel...

Because La Paz is not a "touristy" city, the atmosphere is tranquil. Nearby diving is spectacular and has been featured on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. You can dive with sealions on Islotes, wreck dive, or dive with big fish on El Bajo. Whale sharks and mantas come to the bay in the fall and the chances of seeing whales and dolphins is excellent. Fishing is also outstanding yielding billfish, dorado, and tuna in season.

The town itself has a beautiful and well maintained waterfront. Children play volleyball and the fishermen bring in their catch. People stroll the Malecon shopping or enjoying ice cream or expresso in the evenings listening to local bands. You can sit in the Zocolo by the old cathedral downtown and watch people be themselves with no bums or hawkers selling you timeshare.

La Paz is also a university town so there are good museums, concerts, live theater, and cinemas with current movies in English. We can arrange classes or tours to cover many interests. For those interested in contributing to the community we can arrange for you to participate in medical or charitable assistance programs through our local church. We offer special arrangements for mission groups.
