About La Ventana - Baja California Sur

La Ventana and El Sargento are two neighbouring villages in the east part of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico. Taking all of the La Ventana bay in the Sea of Cortez, the two authentically Mexican towns are made for the kitesurfers in search of wind and sun from October to mid-May.
