Overview
La Ventana is a tiny fishing village of just 255 permanent residents on the Sea of Cortez, yet it has become Mexico's adventure sports capital for kitesurfing thanks to its dependable coastal breezes. In 2025, it became the only location in Mexico where tour operators can legally conduct swimming with orcas and swimming with devil ray experiences.
