Some views are so surreal… you almost want to keep them secret 🌊✨

Mirador Balandra took my breath away — literally and figuratively. After a short 20 min hike (which you can manage in slippers) through desert trails dotted with cacti of all shapes and sizes (seriously, check photo #4 — that cactus was massive 🌵📸), we reached the top… and just stood there in silence. The view was unbelievable: glowing turquoise water, soft white sand, and layers of desert mountains beyond. It felt more like a painting than real life 🎨🌴 Part of me didn’t even want to post this — it felt like one of those secret places you want to keep just for yourself. But okay, here you go 🤭 ✅ Just 30 mins drive from La Paz. There’s free parking and no entry fee. It gets windy at the top, so hold onto your hat — but wow, it’s worth it. It's one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. 📍If you're anywhere near La Paz or Cabo… don’t skip it. Seriously. #lapaz #cabosanlucas #bajacalifornia #mexico #cacti #desert #deserthikes
