Hello friends! We are in La Paz and in this video we are going to show you
how is the tour to the island 'Espíritu Santo' aboard a shared yacht. We are also going
to show you Pichilingue one of the favorite beaches
near La Paz. - Well, let's sail.
- Let's go. Friends, Espiritu Santo is an island
with several virgin beaches which is located just in front
of La Paz Bay. Due to its great biodiversity,
it was declared a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hey, the adventure starts at 8:30 a.m.
in the marina of Cantamar, we are in the port
of Pichilingue, You have to be here
20 minutes before leaving. By the way, parking at the marina
is $200 MXN for the whole day, if you want to save this,
you can stay out here and if you don't have a car,
you can come by taxi, from La Paz they charge
around $150 MXN to $200 MXN. - Just look at those big fish... Wow! They have a yellow tail. - What kind of fish is that like? - It's called...
They're Angelfish. - Angelfish?
- Its common name in Spanish is 'Angel Rey'. - Oh! Ok, ok... Wow! - All aboard...
- Not yet. - Oh! Not yet.
- Not yet. - They're not on board yet. - All aboard.
- Rubi on board. Look, you can go to the front
through this side... Let's go. Hold on, hold on over here. - Oh yeah, let's go.
- Raise anchors. - Let's go. - Take a look at this cool thing,
how transparent the water is, turquoise colors. How beautiful the sea
woke up today. The first thing you have to know
is that to go to the Espiritu Santo you have to do it
through a tour. You can do it either by boat,
sailboat or yacht, and can be private or shared. We on this occasion decided to do it
shared and on board a yacht. Look, everyone is already there
lying comfortably on the deck and 'non-alcoholic' drinks
are included. No way, friends, we had to sacrifice
ourselves with a morning Coca-Cola. Look, there is Balandra, friends,
now say goodbye to it, in a little while
we will pass again. - Goodbye Balandra. - Do you want a tour of the yacht?
- Yeah, Yeah. - Come with us, look,
our captain is up there, say hello to the captain... Here you can see her
very comfortable. - How you doing?
- Very well. - She is Ruby's mom.
- My mom, my mom. - Do they look alike or not? - They're the same, the same. You can go from the front to the inside
of the ship whenever you want, just you have to be very carefully,
walking like this. - Mission Impossible style. Look, this ship is called
Leucas. Look inside, welcome. Look, it's an old model yacht and here you can get in,
if it hits you a lot of sun, if you want to rest
in the shade, you can sit, lie down... Let's go down
a few steps in here. Over here we have a small table
and on this side the cabin. - The cabin in case you want to come
and sleep for a while. - A little nap. Look, here's the kitchen area, folks, they're going to prepare us some
fresh mango snacks, friends. Let's see how it tastes, let's see how
the chef's meals taste. We're already nosy,
let's see what's around here... The cupboard for the food
that we are going to eat in a while. - The next door, the next door. Yes you can, yes you can... Here is the bathroom. Look, this is the bathroom, the toilets
of the boats, friends, are pump. I mean, after you do
your physiological needs you have to pull it,
pull it, pull it... Until the matter goes away. - Did you show them
that it also has a shower? - Oh yeah!
It also has a shower. The interior of the yacht
is cool, friends, but to be honest, we prefer
to lie in the sun, look... That's why everyone is outside. Yeah, let's go outside to see
if we see a whale, dolphins... They say that there are
many species here and it is that to the Sea of Cortez,
where we are now, it is know
as the aquarium of the world. - Let's see what we see, friends,
open your eyes wide, friends... Open your eyes wide. Whales can be seen jumping,
manta rays, you can see little fish jumping... So sit back
and enjoy the ride. // In reverse, mommy... In reverse. // // Hold on, hold on... Hold on. // We recommend that
you come with breakfast, a coffee and a bread at least. We didn't have time,
so we brought our cakes. - Eat it, eat it... How does your mom's food taste? - Very good.
- Good. Bon appetit! Look, we've been sailing
for about an hour now and we are already approaching
Espíritu Santo island. - Are you excited, baby? Do you want to see
the captain's view? - Yes. Let's go, let's go. Look, that pink stone
is called Toba, it is volcanic ash compressed
over millions of years. As for clothing, we recommend that
you already bring your swimsuit on, bring a change, a towel
and, very important, a cap or hat to protect you
from the sun. - Look, they brought us some fruits,
these are already included. You have to grab energy,
you have to grab energy. We are already
approaching the beach and you start
to see the color change, as it is less deep, see... Turquoise green tones. How beautiful, how beautiful. Look, and it's cool that
there's like a platform, just look... No arms, no arms, no holding on.... This is our first stop,
it's called San Gabriel Bay, Here we are not going to go swimming,
we are only going to observe because it is a core area, that is,
a nesting area for many species. Look, over there we can see some little birds...
Well, quite a few little birds. In fact, friends,
all that green is mangrove. You already know it, it's very important
because that's where the little fish, when they are little,
they take care of their predators so that they can continue
to reproduce, grow and then other
larger species feed and many times they are even
the fish that we eat. I almost fall. Here especially
we see frigatebirds, the famous pirate birds of the sea. As a curious fact, they are the only birds
that can sleep while they fly, they shut down half the brain. Crazy, right? And it is that these birds
struggle a lot to get food because they cannot go
into the sea, that's why they steal it
from other birds like seagulls. Something that we really like about this tour
is that a marine biologist always comes, so if you are just
as inquisitive as José... Take advantage,
ask everything you want. Hey, Lalo, and why
can't frigatebirds get wet? Frigatebirds are birds
that are more specialized in flight and they do not have
a developed uropygia gland. The uropygia gland
secretes an oil which makes their feathers
become waterproof. Therefore, when the feathers get wet
when they come into contact with water they become heavy and it is easier for them to die. If they touch the water,
they usually die. Welcome to
La Dispensa bay, family. Here we are going to anchor and we will spend most
of the time of our tour. The reef is here,
in the corner that is there... Those who like it right now let me know
so I can give you your snorkel equipment, prepare ourselves and be ready
to throw ourselves into the water. - Are we going to throw ourselves?
- Yeah, of course. Here we are going to do the first snorkel,
we are going to visit a reef. - Jump right in, jump right in! Wait... - Give yourself a hairdo, baby.
- A hairdo. Now I'm ready... Jump right in! - It's cold?
- Yeah, tolerable. Tolerable. Snorkel gear is already included folks. And if someone gets very cold,
you can also ask for neoprene, there is no additional cost. Rubi is brave and
she's wearing that, look... Well, long sleeves
also help. - It's cold, how is it not cold, baby? You have to dive, like that... - Like that?
- Just like my dad. Look, he's Rubí's dad... Now you can see where Rubi
learned to be like a dolphin. - You can, baby... Come on. Oh! It is cold. The life jacket is not mandatory, but if someone needs it
or feels safer there is also in the boat, friends. In La Dispensa bay,
in Espiritu Santo, we will find two types of corals, broccoli corals
and emerald corals. So, I invite you to put your head
under the water and look for the fish, the fish will hide in the hollows
left by the corals, it is precisely the most
important of these sites. A puffer fish, a puffer fish! Check it out, friends, the little yellow
and black fish are the 'sergeant', they are the most typical,
the most abundant, they are so pretty, right? That we see there
is a sea urchin. Trumpet fish in sight. Those trumpet fish are gigantic. Wow! Did you see that puffer fish?
It was huge. Starfish in sight... Wow! - It's really cool, isn't it?
- That reef is incredible. And here right next to it are the cacti,
what do you think of this landscape? It's cool because there's not
much current, friends. Well, we didn't
get much current. The sea is very quiet. Look, the guide also brings a donut
all the time in case someone gets tired. - And if not, you cheer up like Emiliano,
look at him... The best customers
are children. - Look, Emiliano is floating there. - How about this reef? Very beautiful, very crazy the two corals,
the green and the yellow, which was broccoli and emerald. Friends, the snorkel was great, but the favorite time of the day arrived,
which is lunch. - Look, we got on the boat
and the ceviches were already prepared, the sashimi,
a little bit of everything. Everything looks super delicious, we are going
to prepare a ceviche toast here. - What did he say it was?
Grouper? Grouper, grouper fish. - Have you tasted it? Have you heard it?
- We saw it in a mess there. It made my mouth water. - Okay, bon appetit. - Bon appetit, let's see,
tell me how the 'grouper' tastes, baby. - Is the grouper yummy
or not yummy? I liked it. Tuna sashimi is delicious, folks. Well, actually,
everything tastes delicious, folks. - My compliments to the chef. Kudos to the chef, kudos to the chef. And the best of all
is this view, look... Look, and to hydrate us a little juice, but to refresh us everyone
can bring his drinks, friends. We brought the cooler, so... Cheers. - Do you want one, baby?
- Okay. Alcoholic beverages are not included,
but you can bring them. Cheers, friends. But how delicious we ate, friends. Right now we are going to rest for a little while
until we reach our next destination. - Rest with a beer, look... Where do you think Rubí got
the 'Brewing Rubi' thing from? From the 'Brewing Mom', here...
'Brewing mother-in-law'. - Cheers. And Rubi's dad only drinks water.
Yes or no, sir? - Just water.
- Just water. You see? You should have gotten that
from your dad, honey.... Just water. No, no... Just beer, just beer. And here we're taking advantage
of the platform to make the Titanic. - Let's see, go there, my Rose. go there, my Rose... There goes Jack. Another thing that we are loving is that
you can go standing all the time, in this way you can contemplate
everything very comfortably. - Let's see, ask your mom what she prefers,
lying down or standing like you. - I'm also very comfortable,
I love it like this. - That's fine, let Rubi stand up, right? Let Rubi walk. - Do you have food coma or what? You can lie down here for a while
to rest the meats. You look very comfortable. - Hey... Hey... - Are you comfortable?
- It's better out here. - With the sun?
- Yes, you can dry yourself. After the meal, look... So comfortable! - We still have to swim.
- So comfortable! - There is still a swim
with the sea lions. Say hello from me, baby. - He says he prefers the sun,
I want to see him quite tanned in a while. - Hey, hey... Aren't you burning? And it's quite comfortable
that we go slow, friends... We go at a calm, relaxed speed, enjoying the sea, the view...
We're not jumping. - Balandra in sight.
- Balandra in sight. We almost got
to the fungus, but first you can see
these little beaches who are still part of Balandra, but it can only be reached
through a boat, that's why there are
a little less people. In any case,
the boats do arrive there. Drop the anchors. Welcome to Balandra
arriving by sea. Here we have half an hour free, you decide if you want
to take a photo with the mushroom or stay here. As we already have our photo
arriving by land, come to see our video, we are going to stay here to swim for a while
and enjoy this landscape. - There we see the mushroom,
there it is, look... It looks so small. Jump right in...
To what we came. - Jump right in again. Look, there are some donuts
here on the yacht and Rubí took her dad
to swim already. How does the water feel?
Are you comfortable? Do you want a photo? Photo. You see? Bring your dad
to enjoy Balandra, friends... To enjoy Espiritu Santo island
and Balandra. Jump right in! We confess that we are fans
of bringing donuts to Balandra, By land or by sea. Donuts can not miss. These are from here
on the yacht, but if you come by land
you can also bring them. Those 20 minutes passed
very quickly, but hey... Time to move on
to the next stop. Say goodbye to Balandra. - Goodbye, goodbye...
Goodbye Balandra. We arrived at San Rafaelito, on this rock we are going to do
one of the safety pins, that is done on the tour
to Espiritu Santo, which is to see sea lions. - They can be seen,
they can be seen over there. We have to prepare ourselves
put on the snorkeling equipment to dive. We'll be here for 15 minutes. You can hear them,
you can hear them, friends. Here the life jacket is mandatory, you know, safety first and since there are more boats here, well,
more than anything so that they can see us. Look, the sea lions are here very close. Whales speak cetacean, folks. Sea lions speak pinnipeds,
which goes like this. - How, babe?
- I don't know how to speak pinnipeds, but... Well, ready or not, here we come. - Rubi's dad, come... Here we go. Jump right in... Hey, it's very cool
to swim with these animals, it's amazing to see
how close they get, you can see them
very closely. To be honest,
from a distance they look small, but since you have it here
in front of you, they do impose. They are huge animals. You approach with distrust as if to say:
"Oh no! Go slowly." But there is one or another friendly
that comes very close. The sea lions live here, in fact, this tour can be done
any day of the year, but it is very important that you know
that during June, July and August it is forbidden to go swimming with them
because it is their reproductive season and they can become
a little more restless. That is why swimming is prohibited
in those months. Well, we are back
at the port, friends. Just look at the colors here. This tour is going to end... No! // We don't want to leave // // Other // - Did you like it, ma'am?
- What do you think? - Cheers.
- Wasn't the yacht too slow? - Did you like it?
- It was amazing. Friends, we are back
on solid ground. To be honest, the tour went by
very quickly. They say that when you have
a good time, time flies. It is very important that you know that there are
many variants of the tour to Espíritu Santo island, this one we did on this yacht focuses
on visiting the southern part of the island. If you want to go further north or
venture to more little places on the island, we would recommend
that you take the boat tour and because they go faster
they can go further in the same tour time. Of course, the ride is more bumpy,
you know, you jump a lot. On the other hand, the advantage of
a larger vessel such as a yacht is that there are bathrooms, it's more comfortable,
you don't jump during the whole trip, you already saw that
we were super comfortable, very quiet. And the plus of this specific yacht
is that a biologist is on board, it is a nature tour and that someone expert in nature
is there explaining it is great, friends. This tour can be booked
through our travel agency, we have an agreement
with the yacht owners, that is why we can give you
a cheap price. In the description of the video we leave you
all the information so that you can contact us. Of course, with whomever
you book this tour make sure it is a trustworthy agency, that is not a pirate agency. Check very well the comments,
their reviews, that are registered with tourism because then they ask for
advance payments and disappear. Be careful!
Be very careful. - Say goodbye to the dock, baby.
- Goodbye Pichilingue... Goodbye. - Bye, bye. Well, a photo with the cacti in the marina
before we leave. - Photo, photo with the cacti. The last one and we're leaving,
this time it's true. Welcome to Pichilingüe beach. This little beach is in front
of the marina, in fact, from here we can see
the buildings where we come from and behind is the port of the ferries that take
to Mazatlan and Topolobampo in Sinaloa. In fact, as a curious fact, the fastest way to get from the center
of the country to Baja California Sur, if it is not by plane, it is by crossing
the Sea of Cortez through these ferries. They are both passenger
and cargo, there you can see the trucks
of Soriana, Walmart, everything... Before we arrived we thought
that they brought everything by land surrounding the entire peninsula,
but no, friends... From here to Tijuana
it's only 22 hours. Just imagine. It is that on the map
it looks small, the leg of the peninsula
does not seem so big. It really is a small beach, but it is very comfortable because
here you can bring your cooler, your food, your umbrella,
to pass the time. We did not bring umbrellas, so we already rented some
sun loungers with shades. Over there we also have
about two restaurants and on the other side
we even have a campus area. You already know that
the Americans love to come and park to these paradisiacal beaches
of Baja California. - Someday we will, baby? Someday, I feel like it,
about two weeks. Comment, comment...
Would you do a road trip in a camper? How do you see living
for two months in a mobile home? - Well, there are also kayaks here,
we already rented one, we're going to go
to that little leg, They say there are little fish,
let's see if we can see something. - Let's see, let's see. - Get on, baby. // Rubi is going to row // - Go baby... Go. First stop we go
to where Rubí's dad is for him to take a picture
of us in the kayak. We must take advantage of the fact
that we bring a photographer. - Look, Rubí's dad is there
waiting for us for the photo. - Baby, we're going to crash...
- Help me turn around. It's your turn, baby... Row, row! You feel the difference when I row
and when Jose rows. When I row, well...
All the weight I have to carry. And when José rows,
well, very lightly. - Look, the landscape looks great, these
turquoise waters and the cacti up here, right? It's amazing, guys. - Look, we've reached the tip. Let's see what else is here. // Row // // We will row // It's so cool
that we advanced a little and totally changes
the tonality of the water, see how it looks up here. But hey, let's go back because
the tide feels stronger here. Help me, help me! - Row, row, row, baby...
- Help me. - Eagerly, to make us more hungry.
- I'm hungry. // We will row // - Do you have fun?
- Fun, fun. - Seeing little fish... I haven't seen one,
but I'm still looking. We already found the corals. Below us, we would have
brought the snorkel. I'm going to submerge the GoPro
to see if we can see anything. They can be seen from here,
the water is so crystal clear that you can see the bottom
of the sea and the corals. We're not sure
if it's coral or stone, folks... We already have about 15 minutes
getting the GoPro in and out. Let's hope they are coral,
because if not... What beautiful stones! That coral green
I think was broccoli... We are already becoming
experts in Baja corals. How handsome
you look paddling. - Would you marry me?
- Yes. - It's okay.
- Yes, I would marry you. - Comfortable?
Contemplating the landscape? Resting, resting from carrying
dead weight. Show them the desert
by the sea. - Look at this, why are the landscapes
of Baja so incredible? Turquoise sea,
mountains with cacti. - What time is it, baby?
- Time to enjoy. I'm joking, time to return. Our time is up. - Oh! We're going straight
to that sailboat. Be careful with boats. We're going to correct course
so we don't sink that ship. - Come on baby... Port, port, port. I already left the kayak to Jose
and my dad for a little while, Jose wants to look good, I think. Here they come, here they come. - How was it?
- He's just like you, baby... He doesn't row. - It's a family thing.
- It's a family thing? Nah, your dad rows... - He does row. I was saying that you wanted
to score points with the father-in-law and you also
criticize him. It's not a family thing,
we row, friends... We row, don't believe Jose. A dip was already needed. The water doesn't feel cold,
it's perfect. - How comfortable Jose looks. He is already learning to float like me...
There you go, baby. Well, last dip
before going to eat, we are already hungry, but you have
to take advantage of the water. - Take a dip... Jump right in! Besides, it's already a little warmer
than in the morning. It's cool because the water
reaches your belly, it is comfortable even
for the little ones and for little girls like Rubí
who lay down to rest, to float. There goes a 360 with Rubí. Over there we have
the Sea of Cortez, the open sea,
landscape with cacti, the little square and the restaurant
where we are going to eat right now. // Let's eat // But don't drown me. - Let's eat, let's eat...
- Let's go... Another thing that we really liked
about this beach is that it is like a bay and that is why there are zero waves,
it is very calm. - Espiritu Santo island.
- Pichiringue, Pichiringue. - Sea lions.
- Cold water. - It's warm.
- No, no, when there is air you feel the cold. Well, is it less cold now? It's less cold now, but... The air comes and feels cold. Submerge your head. Yeah, it helps, it helps. Okay, let's go eat. It's like the fifth time
you've promised me, baby... Let's go eat, please. Look, if you bring a cooler
with juice like us... Well, it is convenient
to rent the loungers, if not... Well, you can consume drinks
in the restaurant. Cheers, cheers... - With this view... Oh oh! After towing you and your dad,
I needed one of these. Well, we came to one
of the two restaurants here, it's called Pichilingüe Beach, see this view. - It looks like the sunset
will be good. We'll see, we'll see... - How about your pina colada?
- It's delicious, cheers. You have to vary
from time to time. Well, it's time for food, folks. We ordered some 'imperial' shrimp, which are practically
shrimp with bacon, we also ordered some
governor tacos, they add onion, chili, bell pepper
and cheese to the shrimp. A fried fish, the catch of the day
was snapper. And a shaken fish,
it's steak, folks. - Bon appetit.
- Bon appetit. - How do you say?
- Bon appetit. - Yeah.
- Cheers. No, it's 'cheers'. - Cheers. Everything ends in 'ito', 'ita'. - What do you think about
Rubí's kilo of onion, friends? Very good. The seasoning, the service,
everything is very good. Prices may not be
the cheapest compared to the boardwalk
in La Paz, but it's the price of eating
with your feet in the sand, folks. - It's very good, really. This is how the fish is left. - How does it taste? This is eaten like this,
with the hands, crumbles... Be very careful with the splinters. - The fish bones, baby. Fish bones. - It's so good.
- The favorite was the fried fish, folks. Delicious. What a beautiful sunset
we had here, friends. - Behold, behold... Mosquitoes! At this time there is no one in the water
because since there is no sun, it's cold and all the mosquitoes
come out, but the sunset is very beautiful. Sunset! - Photo, photo, photo... Taking advantage of
the star photographer. Here in La Paz when there are clouds
the sunsets get really good, friends. Friends, before saying goodbye
we came to the boardwalk for a dessert, we arrive at 'Señor Raspado',
these are natural fruit scrapes, there are many flavors,
I ordered lemon with chamoy and Jose, tamarind. - Let's see, let's see,
let's see how it tastes. The lemon with chamoy is great,
delicious, my favorite. - Well, you've only tasted that one. No, I also tasted
my mom's and my dad's. This one is better. - Okay, okay. I wanted guava,
but it was already over. Well, no way, I sacrifice myself with tamarind,
anyway it's very tasty. Highly recommended. - Let's see, let's see,
give me a try, give me a try... Let's see, let's see... Who always eats the juice
and leaves the pure ice? - Don't drink my juice.
- The juice is the best, friends. Friends, with these delicious scrapes
we say goodbye. We hope you liked
this video very much, you already know
that we love you very much, we send you many kisses,
hugs, caresses. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel
and see you next time. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
