Not many people know that the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range, along with the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, was once an island! Due to its incredible beauty and biodiversity, UNESCO has designated the Sierra de la Laguna a global biosphere reserve.
The Sierra del Laguna range also hosts several endemic species including 108 species of arthropods, 2 amphibian, 27 reptile, 74 birds and 30 mammal species. Incredible diversity!
Enjoy the canyon ecology of beautiful flora and fauna, cacti, flowering trees, and clear mountain streams & pools with plenty of swimming holes to enjoy.
Miraflores and Santiago are two quiet craft/farming villages that border the canyon, exploring past either village will unearth natural freshwater pools, streams, waterfalls, and even hot springs!
HIKING in the canyon to the Waterfall
Duration: Approximately 7 - 8 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
$120 per person including tax
The hike into Canyon de la Zorra is a great way to explore the base of our mountain range, the Sierra Lagunas. It's a little less than an hour drive from Cabo, through the small agricultural town of Santiago, out to the canyon where freshwater flows over huge granite boulders making gorgeous pools. Your guide leads you along a canyon path as he gives descriptions of the flora found here in the Baja. We end at a waterfall that cascades into a large pool where we stop for a swim. It's hard to believe this oasis exists in the middle of the desert!
The hike is moderate because of all the boulders we have to climb over and around. Small amount of elevation gain. Recommend wearing swimsuit and hiking or tennis shoes. We provide transportation to and from your accommodations, an experienced guide, park entrance fee, beverages, snacks and a lunch.
