Itinerary
Los Cabos
Once you have been picked up by Cabo Adventures in an air-conditioned van, take a scenic journey along the Pacific coast. During winter, you may see giant Humpback whales breaching and playing in the deep blue Ocean.
On arrival at rancho "Tierra Sagrada" - known as the Holy land, meet up with a friendly and energetic group of guides. Once kitted out with your full-body protective gear, board your powerful automatic ATV and be prepared for a fun and thrilling adventure. Drive along dusty dirt trails, cactus-lined arroyos, and through shallow canyons as you explore the hidden Baja desert. Speed through shallow streams and salute the locals as your offroad all-terrain automatic vehicle takes you back to the ranch. Make your way to the restaurant and take an ocean-view table where you enjoy a delicious Mexican lunch buffet, full of regional flavors and spices, accompanied by fresh homemade Quesadillas and cool, refreshing beverages. Complete your day with Tequila and Mezcal tasting, the perfect way to end the day!

What travelers say

Travelers almost universally rave about the guides, whose humour and attention make first-time riders feel safe and keep the energy high, and they enjoy the lunch and tequila that follow. The main sore point is the ban on personal phones combined with costly photo packages.
