Every fact and FAQ answer links (url) to the La Paz Links page that publishes it; that page has the full context and is the reference if the two ever differ. Facts were checked against those pages on 2026-10-03. For business hours, prices and contact details, the business itself is the final authority; prices, regulations and contact details change often in Mexico.",
