Hotel Guaycura - Boutique Hotel & Spa

About

Todos Santos

This picturesque village, located an hour away from Los Cabos, was denominated a "Pueblo Mágico" (magic town) in 2006 mainly because of its well preserved historical buildings, its buoyant fishermen cum artists community, and its diversity of landscapes and microclimates. Its location in the middle of an oasis, and in between the mountainous Sierra de la Laguna and the Pacific Ocean, conjures up a fascinating weather, as well as a long list of places to visit and endogenous species to see.

History

Fine décor and art come hand in hand at the Guaycura Hotel. Its well-preserved historic building, which dates back to the mid-ninteenth century, initially belonged to the Domínguez family. Later on, it was transformed into a school, a post office and even an art academy for young ladies, where art, embroidery and music classes were offered. It became a police station in the thirties, and more recently, a boarding house for students from all over the state of Baja California Sur, until the current owners, led by the Salas family, acquired it a few years ago. The hotel has been in service since Spring 2010.

Guaycura

The name “Guaycura” (pronounced Y-KOO-RA) originated with the indigenous tribe that first inhabited and preserved this oasis. Their number dwindled over time due to the outbreak of epidemic illnesses and some clashes with colonial troops during the Spanish domination, although a few of them may have gradually left their tribal lifestyle to join the new towns. They disappeared as a distinctive ethnic group around the turn of the eighteenth century.
