Yachting in La Paz waters brings you to one of the premier cities of Mexico. Despite its size (population nearly 300,000), La Paz, meaning city of peace, is laid-back and full of charm. It’s not glitzy, but more in keeping with traditional Mexican cities before some were transformed into busy tourist destinations. Many visitors come to explore the picturesque markets, enjoy the small cafes, or walk the Malecon, the waterfront district.
