Villa del Palmar Live Cam

The Ancient Tapestry

The Islands of Loreto, a jewel off the eastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula, have been a crossroads of human endeavor for millennia. Long before European explorers charted the Sea of Cortez, indigenous groups such as the Cochimí thrived along these shores, drawing sustenance from the rich marine ecosystems and the arid foothills of the Sierra de la Giganta. It was on this stage, where desert meets sea, that a narrative of exploration, evangelization, and commerce would unfold—setting the stage for modern establishments such as the Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto by Danzante Bay.
