Things to do in El Triunfo

The Marina Cortez is a charming harbor equipped with a few restaurants and countless sails of boats. It marks the southwestern end of the Malecón boardwalk and its accompanying sandy strand. Make your way along the docks and pick out your favorites from the yachts, speed boats and sailing vessels.

Comprising an elegant two-story bandstand, the Malecón Kiosk is the most iconic structure on the coastal boardwalk of La Paz. Its upper floor offers a wider vista of the surrounding attractions and activities in this active beachside hub. Snap a photo of the emblematic white structure, framed by palm trees swaying in the breeze.

The Sanctuary of the Virgin of Guadalupe is a religious gem with a marvelous dome in downtown La Paz. It is a large and peaceful church with a modern-looking edifice. Admire the open and airy feel of the nave, which is flanked by whitewashed columns.

La Paz Serpentarium is an innovative animal shelter with a range of rare and endangered species from the region. With a focus on reptiles and amphibians, the site’s enclosures display snakes, turtles and spiders, among myriad other creatures. Fund the care of one of the animals here to help with its rehabilitation and the preservation of the species.

With its twin towers and neoclassical design, the Nuestra Señora del Pilar Cathedral serves as an impressive reminder of the Jesuit missions of the 1700s. The 19th-century church is La Paz’s principal cathedral and stands on the very spot where the initial mission was founded. Consider how its simple architecture and towers resemble the design of missionary churches across the Americas.
