The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before you go

Desert air is deceptive — drink at least 500 ml before departure and use the bottled water provided between lines.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Expect short hikes and rocky approaches between platforms; sneakers or light hiking shoes with good traction are best.

Mind the weight/age limits

Maximum weight 100 kg (220 lb) and minimum age 7 — disclose weight accurately at booking to ensure proper harness fit.

Protect your skin and eyes

Bring SPF, a hat for the transfer vehicle, and sunglasses with a strap to keep them secure while zipping.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Highest platform overlook with views across the arroyo toward the Sierra de la Laguna foothills
  • A short guide-led stop that highlights elephant trees and seasonal wildflowers after wetter winters

Wildlife

  • Desert fox (zorrita)
  • Varied endemic cacti and migratory birds like the verdin

Conservation Note

Operators keep group sizes small and emphasize ‘leave no trace’ practices; water is scarce seasonally, so respecting trails and not disturbing plant root zones helps protect fragile microhabitats.

The paths cut through ranching lands and traditional trade routes that linked inland Baja to the coast; the foothills contain remnants of early settlement water-harvesting practices.
