Baja - Turquoise Coast - 8 Day
One of three coastal
deserts in the world, Baja is rich with scenery, marine life and
adventure. We will sample the best of the rugged Sierra de la Laguna
range on mountain bike, paddle the sparkling turquoise coast along Isla
San Jose searching for sea lions, dolphins, whales and
pelicans, and hike through mysterious canyons to a wonderful oasis. In
the afternoons, enjoy snorkeling and beach combing, relax beneath date
palms, mango trees and sparkling waterfalls, and as night begins to
fall, dazzling sunsets and refreshing margaritas.
Includes: All lodging, meals, guides, fees and equipment. Dates: February, March, December Difficulty: Moderately Easy to Moderate |

| Day 1 - 4 | After a brief introduction and a short shuttle we'll begin our backcountry Baja adventure exploring the volcanic Sierra de la Giganta on mountain bike. The Giganta range is a diverse landscape featuring jagged peaks, classic desert terrain, large mesas, hidden springs, working ranches and historic missions. |
| Day 5 - 8 |
We bid the Sierra de la Giganta farewell and welcome the
sparkling waters of the Sea of Cortez. The scenery changes
dramatically as we depart the steep coast by sea kayak.
Our days are spent paddling and snorkeling along the beautiful shores
of
Isla San Jose, searching for playful dolphins, discovering hidden
canals
and turquoise lagoons, and hiking among towering cardon cactus. In the
evenings, we'll lounge on beautiful white sand beaches under the
magnificent sunsets alit over the Sierra Giganta.
After three magical days of paddling and snorkeling, we'll return to the mainland for a shuttle to La Paz and flights home. |
