a small town big on charm
Loreto may be small, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in laid-back charm. Exploring the cobblestone streets of the downtown area on foot is the best way to get to know this picture-perfect town; strolling by shops selling traditional handicrafts, art galleries, street-side cafes and taco stands. In the evenings, you might catch sight of a roving mariachi band or two.
Make your way to the Malecon (waterfront promenade) for a scenic walk along the water, a popular spot for people watching or to catch the sunset. Stop for a fish taco or some fresh ceviche while you wander. In addition, Loreto has been awarded with the Pueblo Magico (Magic Town) designation by Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism for it’s rich history, authentic local culture and natural beauty both on land and at sea.
