Outdoor Activities in Los Cabos
Not every activity has to involve water when you are
at Los Cabos. If you feel like staying dry but still have a great time
and pump some adrenaline, Los Cabos has what you want, so get ready for
an unforgettable experience. The desert offers an ideal terrain for all
kinds of off-road activities, from riding highly equipped jeeps and
hummers to driving simple ATVs like motorcycles or dune buggies. Hummer
tours are offered where you can go deep into the desert and experience
its greatness. Discover hidden oases and waterfalls and be simply amazed
by the unique beauty you will find. If you feel like letting loose and
having some fun speeding through the desert roads with the wind hitting
your face and dirt flying off your back wheels as you accelerate, you
are in for a treat!. ATVs are offered by many companies. Some offer
simple buggies or motorcycles where you can go and play around the
desert areas, race with friends, drive through obstacles and make the
sand fly around. Now, if you want to do it like the pros, you can
contact companies that offer off-road cars that are made specifically
for running the Baja 1000 race. If you crave a pure adrenaline rush,
you might want to check out the Bungee or zip line (canopy) activities
that some companies offer, where you can feel the danger and excitement
of having your life hanging by a thread, or in this case a very safe
steel cable. Either way, we assure you will feel that awesome feeling
in your stomach you get when free falling. Speaking of free falling,
skydiving is also a popular activity that is offered by professionals
that have years of experience.
But not everything has to be extreme in the desert.
Peaceful options are available, like going on a nice horseback ride led
by experienced guides that will be with you along the way. If you are up
