Stay in La Ventana or La Paz?
Stay in La Ventana if you came for the wind or want a small town on the water: the launches are at the end of the street. Stay in La Paz if you want a city, with whale sharks close by. La Paz centre is 48 km from La Ventana, under an hour, so either makes a day trip to the other.
Side by side
| La Ventana | La Paz | |
|---|---|---|
| Kite and wing | Seven launches on the bay | Under an hour's drive |
| Whale sharks | An hour away | Close by |
| Shops and big errands | Everyday things in town | It's where people go for them |
| Medical care | A small clinic | Where serious cases go |
Doing both
- La Paz airport is 55 km from La Ventana, on the same road.
- Shuttles and taxis run constantly, so you don't need a car to come.
- Off the main road here, nearly everything is dirt and sand.
