Baja California's Absolute Essentials

Baja California features diverse terrain ranging from the high-altitude granite peaks of Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, home to the National Astronomical Observatory, to the below-sea-level basin of Laguna Salada. The region is a major culinary hub, centered on the Valle de Guadalupe wine country and Ensenada’s seafood markets. Cultural landmarks include the 1930s Mediterranean-style Riviera complex and the Morelos Dam on the Colorado River. Natural phenomena like the marine geyser La Bufadora define the state's rugged Pacific coastline.
