La Paz
Capital of the State of Baja California Sur and founded in 1535 by Hernán Cortés. In remote antiquity, estimated at fourteen thousand years, the first nomadic human groups arrived on the peninsula along the route of the Pacific Ocean coasts. The Guaycuras were the first inhabitants of the peninsula and they named this place Airapí. There were three perfectly defined tribal groups in pre-Hispanic times: the Pericúes, Guaycuras and Cochimíes. The Pericúes inhabited the southern part of the peninsula and extended to the north, from Cabo San Lucas to the middle part of the peninsula, the Guaycuras inhabited the middle part and the Cochimíes in the extreme north. It also has a good number of famous beaches such as Coromuel, Pichilingue, Balandra, el Tecolote, Ensenada de Los Muertos, El Sargento and La Ventana. The surroundings of Cerralvo Island are excellent for sport fishing.
