Paradero

A desert hotel in Baja California Sur
Story Nº 02

An hour up the coast from Cabo, past the last of the noise. Paradero sits low in the farmland outside Todos Santos — brutalist walls in the exact sunbaked color of the desert. I came to shoot a short film. I put my phone away and stayed a day and a night.

Came for the architecture.
Stayed for the quiet.
