DISCOVERING SAN BORJITA: WHERE HISTORY MEETS THE SKY
While Cabo San Lucas Mexico is renowned for its luxurious beaches and vibrant nightlife, a lesser-known but deeply moving journey awaits in the northern heart of the peninsula: a helicopter expedition to San Borjita. This remote archaeological site is home to one of the oldest known rock art galleries in the Americas, dating back over 7,500 years.
What makes this adventure extraordinary is not just the destination—but the journey. Boarding a private helicopter from Los Cabos, travelers will fly over dramatic desert landscapes, volcanic formations, and coastal cliffs before arriving at the San Borjita site nestled in the Sierra de Guadalupe. The aerial perspective reveals the vast, untouched wilderness of Baja like few ever get to see.
THE MYSTERY AND MEANING OF THE ROCK ART
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the rock art of Baja California Sur is among the most important and best-preserved in the world. The cave at San Borjita is particularly renowned for its massive, anthropomorphic figures, bold use of red and black pigments, and multi-layered compositions that still captivate archaeologists today.
Despite decades of study, the meaning behind these cave paintings remains an enigma. Some theories suggest they are ceremonial depictions tied to hunting rituals, others believe they express a spiritual connection to nature and the cosmos. Whatever their purpose, the experience of standing before them in complete silence—surrounded only by canyon walls and timeless art—is unforgettable.
A JOURNEY THAT RESPECTS TIME AND PLACE
Our San Borjita Helicopter Adventure is designed with respect for both heritage and sustainability. Guests are accompanied by expert guides who are not only well-versed in the cultural significance of the site, but also trained in conservation protocols to help protect this fragile legacy.
Due to the remote location, access to San Borjita is limited, ensuring an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. The guided tour includes a hike to the rock shelter, interpretation of the site’s artistic and archaeological features, and time to absorb the natural beauty of the desert oasis that surrounds it.
