Camp Cecil: Luxury Camping on an Uninhabited Mexican Island
CAMP CECIL is a “glampsite” (glamorous campsite) on Isla Santo Espiritu, an uninhabited island in the Sea of Cortez, one of the most biologically diverse seas in the world. It also turned out to be my favorite experience in Baja Sur in a couple of weeks of traveling the peninsula. This Mexican island haven with safari-style tents lining the shore is much more than a quiet stretch of beach on a deserted island. It’s a UNESCO protected World Heritage Site of historic and environmental significance and one of the best chances you’ll ever have to encounter diverse marine life in the open ocean (including the planet’s biggest fish). If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in this place removed from everyday life, you’re probably having the adventure of a lifetime.
