Sand, sea air and the slow, sure sway of a camel set the scene for this two-hour desert ride on the Pacific edge of Cabo. Riders mount at a small staging area and follow a low dune line where the desert meets the ocean; the animals’ steady gait turns each step into a calm survey of scrub, cacti and surf.
