The La Paz, Baja Sur tourism board released data confirming that La Paz is one of the safest cities in all of North America. Most importantly, the city near the southern tip of Baja California, is gradually revealing what a few travelers and second-home owners from the U.S., mainland Mexico, and around the world have discovered: La Paz is a place blessed with great natural, recreational and cultural abundance.
“Those who have had the good fortune of discovering La Paz on their own have found that it offers a rare combination of overwhelming beauty, sense of community and balanced infrastructure,” said Agustin Olachea, President of La Paz Tourism Board, and spokesperson for the La Paz Developers Tourism Council. “The awareness campaign ensures that La Paz – whose name is literally ‘Peace’ in Spanish – is recognized as one of the world’s most safe and secure cities.”

According to Irvine-based research group, Competitive Analytics, La Paz is one of the safest cities in the world.
