Hidden in the heart of the Baja California Peninsula, the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range offers one of the region’s most remarkable contrasts: from sun-soaked coasts to cool pine forests, arid deserts to cascading waterfalls. As a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this extraordinary ecosystem invites travelers to immerse themselves in a world of biodiversity, tranquility, and scenic adventure far from the typical Cabo experience.
If you’re seeking a deeper connection with nature, rejuvenation through outdoor activities, or simply a breath of fresh air away from the coastline, Sierra de la Laguna is your gateway to adventure and wellness.
OFF ROAD EXPEDITION – RUGGED ROUTES INTO THE WILD
Buckle up for a heart-pounding ride into the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve. Our Off Road Expedition takes you through dramatic desert canyons, dusty trails, and remote mountain vistas only accessible by 4×4. With expert local guides at the wheel, you’ll discover ancient rock formations, panoramic lookouts, and hidden pockets of biodiversity.
Expect to encounter endemic flora and fauna, spot wild fig trees clinging to cliffs, and witness Baja’s incredible contrast between arid desert and verdant mountain pockets. It’s a sensory immersion that sets the stage for the adventures to come.
DESERT OASIS HIKE – WATERFALLS AND WELLNESS
At the end of the rugged road lies an unexpected treasure: natural waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, and lush vegetation. Our Desert Oasis Hike is a guided trek through some of the most scenic and restorative trails in the biosphere. You’ll walk along shaded canyon walls, follow freshwater streams, and arrive at natural pools perfect for a refreshing swim.
This experience is ideal for travelers seeking a balance of physical activity and natural tranquility. Along the way, our guides will share insight into the region’s unique geology, indigenous uses of native plants, and the ecosystem’s delicate balance.
PADDLECRAFT ODYSSEY – KAYAK & CLAY IN THE MOUNTAINS
Combine creative energy with outdoor adventure in our newest experience: the Paddlecraft Odyssey. This one-of-a-kind activity blends kayaking through tranquil freshwater passages with a traditional clay workshop led by local artisans.
After paddling through peaceful lagoons framed by desert cliffs and endemic trees, you’ll arrive at a quiet mountain retreat where you’ll learn the ancient techniques of working with Baja clay. Shape, mold, and fire your own keepsake while learning about the cultural significance of pottery in the region. It’s the perfect blend of mindful travel and meaningful connection.

A RESPONSIBLE ECOTOURISM DESTINATION
Sierra de la Laguna is not just a place of beauty—it’s a protected ecological treasure. As a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it plays a crucial role in the conservation of Baja California’s unique biodiversity. Ecotourism efforts ensure that exploration of the area is done responsibly, with minimal environmental impact and maximum appreciation for its fragile ecosystems.
Our tours are designed with sustainability in mind, promoting conservation, supporting local communities, and offering travelers meaningful experiences rooted in nature.
A YEAR-ROUND ESCAPE FROM THE COAST
While Baja California is known for its beaches and marine life, few travelers realize the refreshing escape that Sierra de la Laguna offers—especially during the warmer months. The higher elevations and cooler climate make it an ideal destination for summer hikes and wellness retreats.
