The Baja Desert is undoubtedly one of the most exotic and exhilarating landscapes that you will find in Mexico.

Camel and Horse Ride

Camels are among the most docile and friendly animals on the planet, they are naturally adapted to hot climates and are capable of carrying a lot of weight on their backs, including adult humans, which makes them a great option to explore the desert. To the surprise of most people who visit this destination, you’ll be able to find them here very easily! This activity is perfectly suitable for the whole family, as the gentle camels in Los Cabos are extremely peaceful and have fun personalities, so you and your kids will be able to pet them and enjoy your camel ride in the desert. Those who are more comfortable with horses could also choose to go on a horseback ride, which is the de facto alternative to explore the beautiful beaches at sunset, as horses are quite robust and they’re perfectly capable of taking you on a desert adventure too. Whichever is your choice, you’ll enjoy a smooth slow ride exploring desert trails that highlight the native wildlife.
