GETTING TO LA PAZ
With a population of 250,000, La Paz is the ideal base camp for your holiday, second home, or retirement property in Mexico. While large enough to give you all the conveniences of a modern city, La Paz has retained its small-town charm and authenticity. It's no wonder that Money Magazine, CNN and The New York Times have called La Paz the number one place in the world to retire. Our visitors come for the tranquility, safety, and vibrant traditional Mexican culture that only La Paz can offer.
