TerraPeninsular/University of San Diego

This viewpoint is located at the southern base of the Picacho de Vizcaíno volcano and north of the southwest volcano in the False Bay of San Quintín, Baja California Mexico. Terra Peninsular, with the help of the Chorera community, built an interpretive trail with information about the volcanoes in the area, flora, and fauna. From here you can see  False Bay of San Quintín , which is one of the best preserved wetlands in North America, a migration and wintering area for a large number of bird species, housing more than 25,000 migratory shorebirds during the year. winter and the Black Branta (Branta bernicla nigricans), being a very important point in the Pacific Migratory Route. 

Valle Volcánico

The Sudoeste Volcano viewpoint is  in the Punta Mazo Natural Reserve,  San Quintín Bay, Baja California, México.  Facing north we can see the San Quintín False Bay wetland, which is one of the best preserved wetlands in North America, a migration and wintering area for a large number of bird species, housing more than 25,000 migratory shorebirds during winter including the Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans). Also to the north is the community of La Chorera,  whose  income relies on the health of marine species  in and around San Quintín Bay. The dunes  to the northwest have been impacted by the extraction of "landscaping rocks", leading to erosion, and the extraction of volcanic rock is clearly visible.
