The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes improve footing on dusty approaches and platform ladders.

Bring sunscreen and a hat

The Baja sun is strong—apply high-SPF sunscreen before arrival and reapply as needed between lines.

Secure small cameras

Use a wrist strap or helmet mount for action cameras—loose items are not allowed on ziplines.

Hydrate before and after

Carry a reusable water bottle for the nature-walk sections; guides provide short rest stops, not extended breaks.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short desert viewpoints along the trail offer unobstructed views of the coastline—ask your guide for the best photo stop
  • The Damiana tasting is often paired with local honey or citrus—taste combinations vary by season

Wildlife

  • White-tailed deer (in early morning or at dusk)
  • Various hummingbird species feeding on native shrubs

Conservation Note

The park maintains strict line inspections and limits group sizes; practice Leave No Trace and avoid collecting plant material like Damiana to protect local populations.

Baja’s ridgelines reflect both tectonic uplift and volcanic episodes; human history here includes indigenous Cochimí peoples and later coastal ranching that shaped much of the landscape.
