The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated and fed

Bring water and eat a light meal before the tour — the activity is intense and there’s limited time for breaks.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes improve braking posture on platforms and provide grip for the UTV segment.

Check weight and health restrictions

Operators enforce weight and health limits for safety; disclose recent injuries or cardiovascular issues when booking.

Choose morning slots in summer

Mornings are cooler and calmer; afternoon thermals can increase wind and heat exposure.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet canyon overlooks off the main platforms that offer uninterrupted views of arroyo cutbanks
  • Small local stands near the meeting point serving fresh handmade quesadillas and salsa — perfect post-ride food

Wildlife

  • Desert bighorn sheep
  • Coastal iguanas and small lizards

Conservation Note

Operators limit group sizes and keep infrastructure confined to durable surfaces; visitors are asked to stay on marked paths, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing wildlife.

The tour crosses edges of the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve, an area with indigenous Cochimí history and long-standing ranching routes that shaped trails and local settlements.
