 Todos Santos is a very small community located between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, at about an hour´s distance. This small artistic community may enjoy the best weather of all Baja California. At one time there were natural Springs and aquifers that helped the local sugar cane growers, are now depleted, but still keep the area much greener than other surrounding areas.

A day Trip to Todos Santos
Todos Santos Baja Mexico
 Todos Santos HistoryThis small town was established back in 1723 by Jaime Bravo, when the mission of Nuestra Señora de Pilar was founded and used to replace the mission at la Paz, which was closed for a lack of water. In 1749 the mission was reopened in La Paz. Transportation to the area was difficult at best until the late 80´s, when Hwy 19 was finished. Now it is the fastest route to get from La Paz to Cabo San Lucas. As of now the community has a population of a little over 5,000 people with about 800 of those being foreigners.
The changing seasons in Baja rains bring the green of the desert
By Baja Insider at Ventana Magazine
The rains on October & November bring the green back to the deserts of Baja Sur. Within days, the thirsty flora of our desert peninsula has began to take on shades of green. Soon the entire desert will be in bloom and a jaunt to the vast open areas of Baja Sur will be well worth a photo-safari.
This is late in the season for Baja to receive its first significant rain of the year. Without another significant rainfall 2009 will be considered a drought year. Nation-wide this has been the driest year in Mexican recorded weather history.
But the rain we did receive will cause the cactus to swell with the intake of fresh water and soon the beautiful blooms of the San Miguel will add yellows and reds to the desert pallet.  |
