This unique region in Mexico is one of the most interesting and diverse geographical areas of the World. The peninsula is home to some of the earth’s most beautiful deserts, along with semi-tropical and mountainous regions, pine forest and hundreds of miles of untouched beaches and coastline.  The landscapes are unusual, since the blue shades of the sea contrast with the desert and its steeply sloping mountains range covered with cactus.
