In Baja California Sur, Laguna de San Ignacio is a key destination for many – it’s a prime location for spotting gray whales during their winter migration. Every year, these incredible creatures travel more than 10,000 miles between their summer feeding grounds in the Arctic and the coastal lagoons of the southern Baja peninsula. When we decided to van life down Baja, we were excited to realize that our timing would sync up with the chance to see gray whales in the wild!

This small area is surrounded by beautiful old buildings with pops of color. Immediately you can tell that there’s something different about San Ignacio in comparison to the other Baja towns we’ve seen.
