• 5Challenging and fun

  Beautiful sunrise and canyon. Very challenging course—we are experienced hikers but it was still a lot of bouldering and scrabbling—glad we brought our hiking boots. Lino our guide was terrific—helped us navigate through the rocks and told us about the plants and some of the human history of the area.

• 5Adventure seeker? A must do!

  Jan 13 we were picked up at 6:30am so that we could see the sun rise at a beautiful view spot 5 minutes away from the Tabor Canyon entrance. A great start to the day! Seven adventurers, a guide and driver took us through a very dry canyon (at this time) with boulders so huge, there were times we had to use ropes to hoist ourselves up to the next level. It was truly a workout but very fun! Beautiful scenery along the way. If you think you can’t do it, you probably can….but should you decide partway to sit and wait it out, that’s possible too. We come down the same way as going up, so no pressure to complete it ( and this excursion was not expensive, so challenge yourself)! So glad we did it! Our guide and driver were great.

• 5Beautiful hike

  The hike was stunning. Beautiful scenery, fauna and flora. My wife and I were lucky to have a very personable and knowledgeable guide. Although my wife and I are experienced hikers we were happy in hindsight that we hired a guide. Local knowledge of the area is worth every cent of admission ($225 for a group of 4. Includes park admission pass). Carlos was amazing.

  It was cancelled by the tour operator and I was not refunded. That was frustrating and a waste of my time.

• 5Interesting trip with a fun guide

  Carlos was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and encouraging, low key and very much a go-with-the-flow sorta guy. The hike itself was challenging and fun with wonderful geology and scenery along the way. Make sure you possess good balance and wear shoes that have some grip to them. Lots of rock-hopping; if you have slick soles, it'll make for a difficult trip. There are a few places that are best navigated by sliding on your butt over rocks ... might want to ditch the Speedo's for something a bit more rugged.

About Loreto

Loreto is a small town on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California Sur, with the first permanent mission of the Californias and a marine park offshore.

Loreto sits on the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez, on the eastern coast of the Baja California peninsula, below the Sierra de la Giganta mountains. In 1697 Jesuit missionaries founded the mission of Nuestra Señora de Loreto here, the first permanent mission in the Californias, and the town was the capital of the Spanish territory for decades. The stone mission church and its museum stand in the old centre.
