Our Guide to a Dreamy Long Weekend in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur.
We were fortunate enough to have a long sun-filled weekend with some of our best friends, in the beautiful Todos Santos. This was our first time visiting Mexico and we cannot recommend our experience enough! The trip was a short flight from Los Angeles and then we were in a dreamy town in what felt like summertime, with exquisite views, refreshing nature and inspiring architecture. Todos Santos was peaceful and relaxing. It was calm and friendly, artistic and vibrant, just perfect for our 3-day weekend with friends. We loved our stay and time spent in this delightful little town, we are already planning our next visit!
