You push off from the staging area and the world rearranges itself into rhythm: engine thrum, sand compressing, a sharp blue Pacific breaking to your right. The Migriño landscape moves fast — low scrub, sculpted dunes, ravine mouths cut by seasonal creeks — and the side-by-side answers like an eager companion, throwing spray and dust into the late-morning light. In three hours you’ll cross desert flats, test sections of Baja 1000 course, and finish riding out onto Migriño Beach where the dry riverbed spills its sand into the surf.
