What to do and see in La Ventana, Baja California Sur: The Best Outdoor Activities

November 28, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

La Ventana is a small fishing village on the shore of the Bay of La Ventana south of La Paz on the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. The village was founded in the early 1940s by the La Paz pearl diver Salome Leon. When pearl diving became unprofitable, Salome brought his large family by burro over the mountains from La Paz to the Bay of La Ventana to found the village. Many of Salome's descendants continue to live, fish, and work in the village.

Saladita kite school La Ventana

It’s been over 13 years from the moment I started Kitesurfing in La Ventana. During this journey, we made great friends and had great opportunities. Such as learning the art of teaching in San Francisco and organizing kite camps with KGB kiteboarding. These experiences have given us time to grow, evolve and get together with an amazing crew of people that today is Saladita kite school.

I came to Playa Central on 1 Nov. 2020 for wing foiling instruction.I am a 64 year old male from the US. I wanted to see how the lessons went and decide if I should proceed with wing foiling. I wasn’t successful at popping up on a short board surfing lesson two years previous. So I wasn’t sure I could do this. My instructor, Adam Withington, spoke perfect English and was a very cheerful.and pleasant gentleman. I felt relaxed in his company. Adam gave me plenty of encouragement and that helped me relax and perform as well as I might. I was very satisfied with the quality of my instruction. And it seemed I was capable of doing this sport. I was camping next door to Playa Central and I planned to stay for six months. I inquired about equipment purchase. Adam helped me out with that. I was able to purchase the gear with my credit card. Adam helped me get my gear quickly at a time when gear was in short supply due to COVID. I’ve now been practicing for several weeks and I’m now able to stay up on the foil most of the time and stay upwind. Flying my body confidentiality in control above the sea is is extremely enjoyable and satisfying. I’ve become addicted to wing foiling.It’s a positive addiction.
