Baja Bliss

Bienvenidas a Mexico! Fly into Los Cabos International Airport/San Jose del Cabo (SJD) by 2pm where you’ll be met by our guides and transferred to our home away from home for the next two nights, Los Colibris Casitas. With “the most stunning view in Todos Santos,” Los Colibris Casitas is perfect for nature lovers who appreciate both beauty and tranquility. Once settled at the Casitas, we’ll go out for our first group dinner at a local restaurant. During dinner our guides will go over trip details and a safety orientation. (D)

Overnight:Los Colibris Casitas

Nestled between lush tropical vegetation one one side and a dry mountainous desert on the other, Todos Santos is a small town with big appeal. Todos Santos is a true desert oasis, a water source in an otherwise arid environment with a lush palm oasis. After a delicious breakfast at Los Colibris, we'll head to Los Cerritos, one of the best beaches in Baja California Sur. A crescent shaped beach with crystal clear waters and a smooth sandy bottom, it's the perfect place to swim, float, lounge, don your binoculars for whale watching, or go for a beachwalk. Feeling adventurous? Los Cerritos is also a popular surfing spot and a perfect place to learn to ride the waves! We’ll have surfing instructors available who guarantee you’ll have fun trying this potentially new sport. Whatever mood you’re in, you have options!
In the evening we'll have a Mexican Cooking Class with local Chef Iker Algorri, the author of Cooking Adventures in Baja California Sur. Learn to make the perfect margarita and gain the skill to make some truly memorable Mexican dishes following Chef Iker’s cooking philosophy, the “Magnificence of Simplicity”. The best part about a cooking class? Getting to eat our new recipes! (B, L, D)

Camp Cecil de la Sierra is a luxury tent camp situated in a peaceful mango, avocado and grapefruit grove in the Sierra La Laguna Biosphere Reserve. The camp sits on the property of a local ranching family and highlights both the cultural and natural heritage of the Sierras. The family is an integral part of the experience; learn how the yummy cheese and tortillas we’ll eat here are made by hand and soak up knowledge about the reserve from the people who know it best.
Covering almost 30,000 acres, the Reserve is one of Baja´s most beautiful but least explored areas. Many of its plants and animals are not found anywhere else on the planet, including 79 endemic plant species, 8 endemic reptile species, 4 endemic bird species, and 4 endemic mammal species. While here we’ll get to hike, swim in water holes with great views of the Pacific Ocean and picnic by peaceful waterfalls. There is fantastic birding in the early mornings, incredible stargazing at night and endless opportunities for wonder and relaxation in between (Another margarita, anyone?). Tonight is our first of 3 nights in luxury tents (see accommodations descriptions for details) (B, L, D)

Overnight: Camp Cecil de la Sierra

Nothing like a quiet sunrise in paradise! Today you are welcome to opt in or out of any activities today - you’re on vacation! Perhaps you’ll join us for some early bird watching around camp or stretch your legs on a hike. Those who would like to, can head out on horseback or mule for a different vantage point. In the afternoon we’ll all enjoy happy hour in the huerta (or garden) before a filling traditional meal. Tonight, we lounge under a blanket of mountain stars - all in all, a magnificent day.

Similar to yesterday, today you have the option of doing as much or as little as you please in terms of organized activities. At some point during our visit, Chito, the owner of the ranch, will conduct a leather working workshop. Using the tools he inherited from his father and the patience of a man well trained in his craft, Chito will show us the ins and outs of this time honored tradition. Chito’s mother Angela will also teach us how to make dulces, or sweets, in the customary manner. The ranchers of Baja California Sur have passed these skills down through multiple generations and the workshops are not only fun, but a great way to participate in this living history. (B, L, D)

Overnight: Camp Cecil de la Sierra

After a final hearty mountain breakfast, we’ll make the journey back from the Sierras to Todos Santos. Staying at Los Colibris Casitas again, we'll have the afternoon free to explore town or hang out on the beach and then will enjoy a magnificent farewell dinner. (B, L, D)

Overnight: Los Colibris Casitas

Last morning in paradise, time to soak up the birdsong, waves crashing and breathtaking beauty of this incredible gem before we leave. Once we’ve had breakfast and checked out of the inn, we’ll be transported back to the Los Cabos International Airport/San Jose del Cabo (SJD) in time for flights after 1pm. (B)
