Baja Peninsula
Mexico
There are interesting things happening on the Baja California Peninsula in Northwestern Mexico. It might have been considered the home of trashy Cabo spring break parties for the longest time, but in the past few years Baja Peninsula has seen a design boutique hotel and charming paddock-to-plate restaurant scene emerge that's rapidly transforming this coastline into a surprising and unexpectedly cool destination. Northern Baja’s wine region, Valle de Guadaloupe, is fast becoming the new favourite in the Americas, and sleepy Todos Santos in the south is already a haven for nomads, surfers, artists, and boho types. Not to mention, a new highway from the airport that winds along the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and through the desert gives road trippers a full panorama of the Peninsula's impressive landscape.
