GEOGRAPHY OF LA VENTANA VACATIONS
La Ventana is a small seaside town, population 100-200, that is located on the Sea of Cortez just south of La Paz and north of Cabo San Lucas on the eastern coast of the Baja Peninsula. The town is located in a beautiful bay lined with a sandy beach, Bahia de La Ventana. Off in the distance you can see Isla Ceralvo, an island whose ocean waters are known for their big game fishing. The surrounding landscape is full of extremes; the immediate area is very arid with a dry desert while in the distance you can see the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range rising up a bit further inland. The town is more of a small village but it has gained a bit of notoriety recently for being a top destination for wind surfing. As the winds come barreling down the Sea of Cortez providing an optimum opportunity for kite surfing or wind surfing, especially in the winter when the weather and winds are at their best. Optimum time to visit is November to April.
