Bahía de los Ángeles

Valle de Guadalupe
Aerial views of Mexico's premier wine country, featuring geometric patterns of vineyards just before the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for Picacho del Diablo; it is the highest point on the peninsula and often has snow in winter. As you approach Tijuana, you can clearly see the international border fence stretching across the landscape.

Expansive lagoon system on the Pacific coast, a critical habitat for migrating gray whales during the winter months.
