Hike the Natural Reserve & Eat at a Local´s Family Farm

So much fun! The ranch was so beautiful with their fruit trees and animals. The 2 family dogs joined us for our hike. I thought we were going to be hiking on dirt roads, but it was climbing up and down huge boulders. So awesome and beautiful! It was so nice that just our family went to enjoy it together! Such a unique experience! Max is an awesome guide and even cut me some aloe to take home for my jellyfish stings I had gotten a couple days prior. The fish tacos made by the owners were amazing.

Max is very knowledgeable about the area, passionate about the outdoors, and helped us stay within our limits while exploring rugged beauty and learn about local culture. I can't decide what was my favourite part... the views, swimming, the delicious lunch, or the super friendly dogs we met. ❤️ We will definitely be doing a trip with him next year. Thanks Max!

We had a wonderful journey to the Biosphere with Max our guide and driver. He is absolutely amazing. Our friends wanted coffee and were hungry when he picked us up, so he stopped at a great local tienda where they got delicious coffee and burritos along the way. Max was very informative and knew the area very well. He would stop and point out places of interest and photo opportunities. Once at the biosphere and rancho, our hiking began with several lovely hikes through the hills and into the gorges for a swim in the beautiful waters. The boulders were amazing and the water was very refreshing. He led us through the water on a hike to see the waterfalls and then another hike to the hills with beautiful views of the big waterfall. We were very fortunate to have lunch at the family home, which was delicious and bountiful. Before leaving we were invited to take some of the grapefruit from the grove home with us. Max did the honors and got us several of them directly from the high branches of the tree. On the way home, Max treated us to some amazing ice cream at the Tropic of Cancer, so many delicious flavors it was difficult to choose. If you ever want a great, personable and very knowledgeable guide, Max is the guy for you.

Max is a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgeable about the history and ecology of the area. He was able to point out every potential misstep on the trail. The views are beautiful, fauna are interesting, the secluded pools are gorgeous, the family ranch is charming and the lunch provided was delicious. The entire trip was hassle free from pickup till drop off.

We had an amazing day with Max who lead us on a couple hikes to water holes. We swam and learned about the local ranches. We also had an authentic Mexican Ranch lunch that was delicious. So many great memories!

Great Trip! Max was a great guide, fluent in both English and Spanish! He is very knowledgeable about the area. The lunch at the farm was great. Authentic regional cooking over a wood fire.

This was one of our favorite activities. Max was a fantastic guide providing history and stories to make the drive seem shorter and interesting/fun stops along the way. The hike is challenging but fun, and the pools, beautiful canyon and waterfalls are well worth the hike. It was a full day with great food, exercise and relaxation all in one activity. Highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!

Wow! A truly unexpected and unique experience. Max was an amazing guide! Specifically, he was completely attentive, courteous, and made the overall experience even more pleasurable. The added bonuses to include the stop at the Tropic of Cancer and the adjacent ice cream shop with its 40 flavors made the trip even better! Have already booked the Todos Santos Magic Town excursion for our return in March. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Max is super interesting and great host. We spent a day with him. It was a long day but really nice. He picked us up at our hotel and we went north of the airport to hike up to some waterfalls. It was a good change of pace from lounging on the beach. Max know the area well and we felt very safe with him. We decided to skip the local place near the hike and go to Flora Farms for lunch. Max helped with the advance reservation and ate with us. Again, just an interesting guy and Flora Farms was fantastic.

My wife and I booked this excursion. We were pleasantly surprised to find out it was a private tour when our guide, Max, picked us up at our hotel. He was flexible with our preferred schedule and was a pleasure to talk with. His English is excellent, and he'll cater the activities to your preference and ability. We opted for two hikes; while not long, the terrain could be challenging for some. The trails are not well-maintained and involve some walking up and down rocks and boulders so having shoes with good traction is recommended. We didn’t swim in the river, but it was beautiful and inviting. The farm lunch was tasty and highlighted some of the farm’s own ingredients. It was a treat to enjoy fresh, homemade tortillas made by our host family. On the drive back, we stopped for an ice cream and photo op at the Tropic of Cancer. Check out Max’s Good Trips Baja website to learn more about this and other excursions. We highly recommend Max as a guide if you want to venture off the beaten path and enjoy the area’s natural beauty.
