El Pescadero
El Pescadero is a small village in the municipality of La Paz in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur.
It is located at km 64 on Federal Highway 19 on the Pacific Ocean about 8 kilometers South of Todos Santos which is about a one-hour drive north of Cabo San Lucas. The Mexican census of 2020 reported a population of 2,245 inhabitants.
Climate
The climate is heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean, which moderates the temperatures year round.Pescadero is bordered by the Sierra de la Laguna mountains to the East. In the huerta area of Pescadero palm-lined roads and farms co-exist with low-density private residences. A common sight in the huerta are the chili and basil fields. Most of these crops are grown for export.
Commercial farming in Pescadero flourishes because of an ample supply of underground water funneled down from the mountains. Air from the Pacific Ocean is pushed up the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range and is met with hotter air from the Gulf of California, resulting in frequent mountain rain storms that persist through the summer and fall.
