Hotels
There are several hotels that have sprouted up in Loreto since the beginning of its development into a tourist hot spot during the mid-to-late twentieth century. While making the usual Loreto activities (as well as accommodations) convenient for visitors, hotels in Loreto also strive hard to preserve the sense of history and culture that makes Loreto so appealing to travelers.

Geography
The geography of Loreto is believed to be among the most phenomenal in the world. Nestled in the Western shores of the Baja California Peninsula, Loreto touches borders with landmarks such as the Gulf of California (also known as the seismically active Sea of Cortes), the Transpeninsular Highway, and the creek Arroyo Loreto (which only flows with water in the wake of heavy rainfall).

History
Loreto, Baja California Sur has a virtually infinite and rich history, some elements of which date back thousands of years. The oldest signs of historical culture in Loreto - cave paintings in amazingly good condition - were said to have been left behind by the Cochimi people and Guavcura people, who had begun living in Loreto more than ten thousand years ago.
