Little known and almost uninhabited, Baja is a succession of breathtaking landscapes: centuries-old cactus forests, mountains that fall steeply to the sea, deserted beaches lapped by turquoise waters, coral reefs animated by an amazing variety of marine life, of ancient missions and prehistoric cave paintings, of starry skies amongst the clearest on our planet.\u003cp\u003eHere you can approach whales that migrate for thousands of miles, swim with sea lions in crystal clear waters, lose yourself in the silence of the desert, or find yourself the center of attention in a hospitable little fishing village. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrontani, Stefano:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Stefano Frontini was born in Rome in 1970.
