4.Pearl Farm Experience and shop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $70

Spend about two hours learning how La Paz pearls are grown, from the region’s pearl history to modern oyster cultivation. The tour includes a laboratory visit, a look at pearl types and cultivation steps, and time at the pearl shop. English is offered, and guide Ivan has led informative English-language tours.

“This was an excellent tour, covering the known history of humans interacting with pearls in Baja up to how Perlas de La Paz is working today to bring the oysters and their bounty back to the world. Ivan is a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and able to answer my questions. He presented in English. He showed their steps of cultivating the oysters and implanting the pearl "seeds." Hey, Ivan...you have Mother Pearl and Rainbow Lip oysters! I remembered! 5-star tour, well worth the time.”
