Places in the countryside in North America

Coming on Highway 1 through the dry desert that Baja California is famous for, the little settlement of San Ignacio is surely an oasis. The lush green palms are a welcoming change to the else giant cactuses and desert scrubs. Beside dusting the sand off and enjoying a fish taco on the tiny town square the attractions are outside the town. There are cave paintings a long drive away inland, and in Laguna San Ignacio (an even longer drive to the Pacific side) whales are coming in during the winter months. If only travelling through, make sure to sleep here since the options is far better than further north or south.
