No one could deny the beauty of the beaches along the coast of Todos Santos. But only a short distance from this marine paradise is a place where vacationers can find extreme excitement: The Sierra de la Laguna Mountain Range.
Located in Mexico’s southern Baja California—crossed by the Tropic of Cancer—the Pine-Oak Sierras rise to over 7,000 feet at their highest point, a pinnacle of exhilaration for “on-the-edge” recreation seekers.
Hiking in Sierra de la Laguna
Exploring Laguna’s beautiful mountain range by foot gives you an appreciation for the landscape that you just can’t get by flying over it. Different trails, perfect to accommodate all levels of hiking skill, are there to choose from. Nestled within a regional triangle—with resort hubs Todos Santos to the Northwest, Santiago to the Northeast, and Cabo San Lucas to the South—the mountain range is home to three major trails: The Cañon San Dionísio trail, the Cañon San Bernardo trail, and the trail at Piacacho de la Laguna. The latter is a three-day venture, popular by hikers who enjoy an extended challenge.
A Natural High
Extreme sports lovers who are also naturalists will enjoy the Sierra de La Laguna Biosphere Reserve day hike—a stimulating climb that lets you commune with the birds and flora of this clean, unspoiled natural environment. Clear, fresh-water ponds and streams adorn the trails of the area, celebrating UNESCO’s designation of the region as a biosphere—totally undisturbed by human hands—where protected species thrive and share the clean air with you as you hike.
The Sky’s The Limit
If you’re seeking a more extreme panoramic view of Sierra’s beautiful scenery, plenty of aerial activities are there for you. You can paraglide as the pleasant, gentle winds carry you over the meadow that was once the actual Lake Laguna; you can bungy jump, kitesurf, or windsurf if those are your passions; you can zipline from peak to peak at 300 feet in the air. Or, you can do it all! This area has no shortage of organized tours with professionals who can ensure that you safely get the maximum enjoyment out of your Sierra da La Laguna experience.
And when you’re finished with your hike or flight across the mountains, you can reward yourself with some luxurious down-time at the Hotel Todos Santos of your choice in nearby San Cabos, Todos Santos. It’s all waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Book today! Ask for more information about Todos Santos yoga retreat.
