Cabo San Lucas, MexicoRight at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo San Lucas has beautiful beaches, crystal-clear seas and a rugged coastline with fantastic rock formations. It’s the perfect place to relax, so take a stroll along the beach, a boat ride to Land’s End, try your hand at water sports, or set out on a sports fishing adventure – the coastal waters are rich in billfish. |
Los Angeles, CaliforniaLos Angeles is a city and a half, spreading over hundreds of square miles from the Pacific Ocean to the mountains. From Hollywood and Sunset Strip to Beverly Hills and its credit card crunching stores on Rodeo Drive, the sights are legendary. And who can resist comparing their handprints with the stars at Mann’s Chinese Theatre, or spending a fun-packed day at Disneyland®? |
Mazatlán, MexicoOften called the Pearl of the Pacific, Mazatlán is set on a peninsula against the backdrop of the Sierra Madre Mountains and is renowned for its fabulous white sand beaches and its pretty colonial old town. Take a look at the undersea world of the Pacific at one of Mexico’s largest aquariums or take in an overview from the top of the world’s second tallest lighthouse at Cerro del Crestón. |
Pichilingue (La Paz), MexicoPichilingue is the port for La Paz on Mexico’s beautiful Sea of Cortés. Once famous for its exotic pearls, the city still has jewels of colonial architecture, including the Cathedral of our Lady of La Paz. Take a stroll down the palm-lined boulevard overlooking the bay; or take to the water – the Sea of Cortés is renowned for its deep sea fishing, scuba diving and water sports. |
Puerto Vallarta, MexicoPuerto Vallarta combines the charm of old Mexico with some 26 miles of spectacular beaches along Banderas Bay. Take a stroll through the colonial cobblestone streets with whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea, visit Gringo Gulch, where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton had homes and, for something more adventurous, explore the nearby Sierra Madre Forest. |
San Francisco, CaliforniaOk, you may not want to leave your heart here but you’ll be bowled over nevertheless. From the seafood restaurants of Fisherman’s Wharf to the busy streets of Chinatown, the department stores of Union Square to the eerie cells of Alcatraz prison, San Francisco is like no city on earth. And the best way to see it all (and get up and down those impossible hills) is aboard the city’s signature cable cars. |
Topolobampo, MexicoThe port of Topolobampo is just 12 miles from the western end of Mexico’s incredible Copper Canyon railway – one tour you won’t want to miss. This 325 mile journey is a scenic spectacular through the Sierra Madre mountains, passing through 86 tunnels and over 37 bridges, and switch-backing past lakes, waterfalls and forests. It’s one of the world’s great rail journeys. |
