Offered in: English and 1 more

This hiking experience explores Fox Canyon and the Sol de Mayo waterfall, one of the most unexpected natural landscapes in Baja California Sur. Far from the beaches of Los Cabos, the route leads into the Sierra de la Laguna, where desert terrain, rock canyons, freshwater pools, and hidden oasis scenery create a completely different side of Baja.

The hike combines moderate walking, canyon landscapes, swimming opportunities, and scenic desert drives through Santiago and the surrounding mountains. Along the trail, guests move through rocky terrain surrounded by cactus forests, granite walls, and flowing freshwater hidden deep inside the canyon.

After the hike, the experience continues with lunch at a local Baja-style restaurant, creating a full-day adventure that blends nature, movement, local culture, and the quieter landscapes beyond the coastline.

What to expect

The experience begins with a scenic drive away from the coastline and into the desert mountains of Baja California Sur. As Los Cabos slowly disappears behind the highway, the landscape transforms into cactus forests, rocky canyons, and small oasis communities surrounded by the Sierra de la Laguna.

At Fox Canyon, the hike follows natural stone paths and canyon sections leading toward the Sol de Mayo waterfall. Along the route, the contrast between dry desert terrain and flowing freshwater becomes part of the experience itself.

Once at the waterfall, many guests spend time swimming, relaxing beside the pools, or simply listening to the sound of water moving through the canyon. Later, the experience slows during lunch at a local Baja-style restaurant before returning through the desert landscapes of Baja Sur.
