Outdoor Activities in Cabo San Lucas

Exploring the beaches of Cabo San Lucas on foot may be an exciting way to while away the hours in Cabo, but you can make an exciting journey on the deserts of Cabo as well.

To enjoy hiking in the desert, it is best to do the activity during the cold seasons. Although, hiking during summer can also be done usually in the mornings to avoid uncomfortable temperatures. There are experienced hikers that trek the deserts so you may want to join the group for a more fun adventure. You can also choose to have tour guides or join a guided hiking trip from the many companies that offer the service.

The vegetation in the area as well as the spectacular rock formations are just among the many things you will encounter and appreciate when you hike in the deserts of Cabo. You can also observe and explore the native wildlife of the place. It is advisable however, to put on your long pants and leather boots as you may never know if you can encounter jack rabbits or snakes along the way.

The mountains of La Laguna and the fossil fields in the Cape region are also among the sites you should not miss visiting if you will do hiking in Cabo. You may choose to hike during the day or overnight and you can enjoy the many adventures they offer that suits tourists and guests of any age. In guided hiking tours, you will be given information also about the ecology and history of the place.

Another recommendable hiking spot is the waterfalls at Santiago. The falls, popularly known as cascadas, can be found at the southern part of Santiago. It will only take you an easy half an hour climb through boulders of rocks and you will be met with a refreshing pool of water that would be great for a good swim.

Mountain bikes can also be rented for a cycling adventure in the Cabo Real Ecological reserve. These bikes can be rented on an hourly basis. Cycling in the desert and towards the old lighthouse area is also a favorite among cycling enthusiasts.

If you will be cycling in remote areas, make sure you have a map with you or better yet, get a guide or take the adventure in groups to make your cycling activity safe and enjoyable.

Above all, you should not forget to wear and bring your safety gears when riding around Cabo in your mountain bikes.
