After spending several days in the touristy city of Cabo San Lucas it was a nice change of scenery to spend some time in the quieter township of Loreto. The municipality of Loreto has a whole different vibe to it, having picturesque towns and villages that are decorated with the most beautiful historic churches and cathedrals. I was particularly lucky to be included in an unplanned side visit to San Javier village, which is a tiny settlement built against the backdrop of the Sierra de la Giganta mountains. After visiting the village we went on a hike through a valley in these mountains. The walk started by passing through an orchard of all sorts of citrus tress, many that I have never heard of. Then it snacked through the dry desert valley of rugged terrain where I had my first close up encounter with cacti in Mexico. Not a bad way to spend the day when you aren't able to get out on the water to watch whales.
