How to Get to Loreto
Prior to the new set of flights, getting to this Pueblo Magico was a bit more complicated. Other airlines offer direct flights to Loreto Mexico from important hubs on the west coast, such as Los Angeles and Tijuana, which is accessible via the Cross Border Xpress in San Diego, but figuring out how to get to Loreto from cities further east was nearly impossibly and extremely costly. Now with American Airlines’ direct service from Phoenix and Dallas, there are plenty of connections for those wishing to visit this Baja paradise.
If a road trip is more your style, touring Baja is incredibly easy and when you stay at Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, it’s more rewarding than ever. Federal Highway 1, also commonly known as the Transpeninuslar Highway, runs the 1,063 miles from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas, making it incredibly simple to stop in your favorite Baja towns. Loreto, and the Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto resort, sit just off the highway, a road that is safely transitted by those making the trip. While it is a long drive from Phoenix to Loreto, Mexico, it is well worth the trip and the sights along the way are beautiful.
Whether taking one of the many flights from Phoenix to Loreto, Mexico or finding a different way down to the beautiful Baja destination, you’re sure to have a good time during your stay. There are so many exciting things to do on your vacation and with the newly added wing and bike path at Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, you’ll have all the space to spread out and even more ways to enjoy your time.
