Danzante included in Conde Nast search for the best of Baja!
For two weeks, I search for the best of Baja, old and new, driving an 1100 mile loop from the cruise ship port of Cabo San Lucas...ocassionally leaving Mexico’s Highway One to find out what lies at the end of a dirt track... Four hours north, we cross a mountain pass and turn off the dirt road to the Danzante ecolodge, nine solar-powered rooms on a rocky hill overlooking a crescent bay where the Sierra Giganta meets the Sea of Cortez. ...From the water’s edge, the lodge looks like a train curved over a tawny cat’s back, so naturally does it fit into the contours and colors of the landscape. Inside, azure-painted floors and cactus wood furniture echo the sea-meets-desert surroundings... DANZANTE offers scuba, snorkeling, kayaking, and horseback riding, and is ideally located for touring mission towns. Given the views, it is also tempting to just swing in your hammock.
