Wildlife
History
The Baja corridor grew from fishing and small-scale ranching; many trails began as access routes for cattle and local communities and now double as adventure paths.
Conservation
Stay on marked tracks to avoid damaging fragile dune vegetation and nesting areas; operators typically brief riders on wildlife respect and leave-no-trace practices.

Secure loose items
Use the provided lockers for phones, wallets and cameras—loose items can eject during dune runs.
