Art Escapade ~ Todos Santos 2026
Please join Dee Gray and Patti Euler for 6 amazing days in Todos Santos, Mexico. In 2026, Art Escapade will embark on an inspiring journey to the captivating coastal town of Todos Santos, a hidden gem nestled in the foothills of Mexico's Sierra de la Laguna Mountains, along the breathtaking Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula. Just a short hour's drive north of Cabo San Lucas, this enchanting town feels like a world apart, steeped in a rich artistic heritage that began in the 1980s when the first American artists from Taos were drawn by its extraordinary light. Today, Todos Santos thrives as a vibrant artist colony, boasting a delightful array of restaurants, art galleries, and shops that reflect the diverse passions of its creative community. The warmth and hospitality of the local residents further enhance the allure of this picturesque destination, making it a perfect place for visitors to explore and experience the unique charm and beauty of Todos Santos.
During our stay in Todos Santos, we will immerse ourselves in the delightful ambiance of Los Colibris Casitas, a hidden gem that offers an extraordinary blend of nature and comfort. Here, the vibrant birdlife and breathtaking views create a serene backdrop, while the culinary delights tantalize our taste buds, making every meal a celebration. Each morning, we will unleash our creativity in the art studio, which boasts a magnificent vista of the Pacific Ocean, inspiring our artistic endeavors. Afternoons will be a canvas of exploration, as we wander through the colorful streets of Todos Santos, stroll along the pristine beaches, or simply unwind by the pool, soaking in the breathtaking beauty and invigorating salty breeze of Baja California Sur. This experience promises not only relaxation but also a chance to rejuvenate our creative spirits and ignite our artistic passions in a truly magical setting.
