CAMPING

In La Paz?s surrounding areas there are several beaches and forest areas where you can go camping in quiet and isolated atmospheres.

Puerto Balandra ? Lies 22 km (14 mi) north of La Paz, off Highway 11. This saltwater lagoon has eight bays with calm waters. A notable attraction here is an emblematic rock formation known as El Hongo. At this place you?ll find a mangrove zone and a sand dune area close to the coast. You can go camping near both of these locations.

Bahia Concepcion ? Located 451 km (279 mi) north of La Paz, off Highway 1.

Playa El Tecolote ? Located 25 km (15 mi) north of La Paz, off Highway 11. This is one of La Paz?s most visited beaches. It has a gentle slope, which is ideal for relaxing and basing in the sun.
