Sea Turtle Conservation in Baja Sur: Tortugueros Las Playitas
Baja California Sur is well-known as a region rich in vibrant wildlife, pristine waters and beautiful beaches. Sea turtles are some of the area’s most beloved inhabitants, making their nests on the warm sands of Baja. Unfortunately, a range of conservation challenges impact these magnificent creatures’ habitat and survival in Baja. Luckily, groups like Tortugueros Las Playitas are hard at work trying to ensure that they continue to survive – and thrive – in Los Cabos. We discussed their efforts with their team member, Francesca.

Soaring above Los Cabos with Cabo Sky Tours (Video)
Spectacular video footage shot while flying above Los Cabos, Mexico I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph several of Los Cabos’ picturesque beaches and serene landscapes, not to mention all of the amazing resort and villa shoots that I’ve undertaken over the years. With that said, it’s always been a big dream of mine to take to the air and focus my lens on Cabo from up above. I recently had the opportunity to fly with Mexico’s top ultralight pilot last month. I must say, it was a photo assignment I won’t soon forget. Besides the vastly different vantage point that the ultralight gives you,…

We are newly engaged and went to Cabo San Lucas to celebrate the first anniversary of the day we met. What…
