8 Instagram Photos From Villa del Palmar in Loreto, Mexico (LTO) That Says Come Visit Now

I spent the last weekend of January 2016 at the Villa del Palmar in Loreto, Mexico (LTO) as a special guest. This is an all inclusive hotel, well resort nestled in the tranquil mountains of the Baja California area in Mexico.

Three airlines serve this area; Alaska Airlines from Los Angeles (LAX), Westjet from Calgary, AB Canada (YYC) and Aero Calafia with an ERJ from Tijuana (TIJ), Cabo San Lucas (CSL) and Guadalajara (GDL) all in Mexico. These flights are not daily so check the flight schedules for times. Aero Calafia does not share its schedules with external entities, so you have to go directly to their Web site to get the information.

I thought I’d share some photos from the trip with you. This is just a small sampling. I’ll post more shortly. These are designed to whet your appetite for the trip.

 

Umm… what a welcome.

Do you golf? This the #10 hole of the new soon to be opened 18-hole golf course at Villa del Palmar in Loreto, Mexico. The course was designed by Rees Jones (the Doctor of golf). Are to ready to play?

I’ve never seen dolphins in their natural habitat close up. We were minding our own business after a long day at sea and these guys came by to say hello. There were hundreds of them. Have you ever seen dolphins in the natural habitat?

The LAX website says that on any given day, there are over 690 departures. That’s a lot of people and planes! Here you can see two from New Zealand and two from Taiwan on the left and three American Airlines jets on the right. The four on the left are getting ready to do the return journey across the Pacific once more later today with new passengers and crew. I’m in an @AlaskaAir Boeing 737-900ER coming from Loreto, Mexico. Where are you off to today?
