More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into the cab, the engine hums, and the desert opens like a challenge: dry riverbeds daring you to test lines, salt-flat sand pushing back under the tires, and a row of century-old cardón cacti standing like patient witnesses. The route threads from sun-baked desert into low mountain foothills and drops down to a stretch of white sand where the Pacific nudges the shore.
