The engine rumbles to life and the desert opens in front of you — ochre dunes, creosote scrub, and a ribbon of white sand where the Pacific waits. On this half-day UTV excursion north of Cabo San Lucas you pilot a Can-Am X3 Turbo over bumpy washes and hardpan trails, then roll onto Playa Migriño where the ocean and desert meet and migratory gray whales can be spotted in winter.

History
Los Cabos grew from coastal fishing communities and ranching towns; the region’s modern tourism boom began mid-20th century, but traditional fishing and agave-influenced cuisine remain part of local life.
Conservation
Maintain safe distances from whales and birds, stick to established tracks to avoid damaging fragile desert plants, and pack out all trash — coastal and dune habitats recover slowly from disturbance.
