Should you decide to join the ranks of those who venture out into the great Baja, here are what reports indicate are some of the best vacationing to be had in this dusty tail of America.

La Paz, Mexico
If you could bottle the beauty that is found in La Paz you’d make a mint. In fact, many already try to do just that with a little souvenir snow globe made of sand. Still, this wonderful little town’s beauty is irreplaceable. The capital of Baja California, and, nestled into a little cove on a bay, it enjoys a sunny and warm climate with a nice ocean breeze. People come from the world over to see the ancient cave paintings, enjoy the town’s quaint Spanish-influenced pueblo architecture, or experience world-class water activities. If you’re thinking about heading down to La Paz, Mexico, go.

Markets in Mexico City
One of the highlights when traveling is getting a chance to do a little souvenir shopping. The experience is more than just the purchase, but the act of immersing yourself into a totally different cultural whirlpool. Markets are, in many ways, a societal meeting point for a town, and so a visit to a foreign market tells you more than just what came in with today’s catch. Mexico City is a big city, and has some great markets to choose from. Whichever you choose, remember to be safe, haggle, and never accept the first price offered.

Numerous (15) religious structures dot the Historic Center of Zacatecas, including a grand cathedral decorated in the Baroque style. Today, the Historic Center of Zacatecas acts as a sort of living museum, each corner seemingly borne of colonial grandeur, rich with history and a great place to walk, eat, and shop in.
