BAJA CAVE PAINTING TOURS BY MULE

JOURNEY DEEP INTO THE SIERRA, DEEP INTO THE PAST

CAVE PAINTING TOURS FROM SAN IGNACIO B.C.S.

One of the fantastic things about the Baja is its ability to remain unchanged.  Sure the weather comes through and rearranges an arroyo, or towns grow a little more each year. However, much remains the same in the desert for hundreds or even thousands of years.  The cave paintings of the Sierra de San Francisco and the guides leading you there are examples of how some things never change.  They have lived in these mountains for generations and love sharing their home with interested travelers. Join us on our multi-day mule trips that leave from near San Ignacio, Baja California Sur

EQUIPTMENT AVAILABLE

Don't feel like traveling with all your camping gear? No worries we have tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads for a small rental fee.

While not terribly strenuous accessing these sites can be very challenging.  Short scrambles up slippery slopes, and walking along dry riverbeds will be necessary in sections.  It is not recommended for those with knee, ankle, issues.

We can provide transportation from Loreto to the town of San Ignacio and back. Transport from San Ignacio to Trailhead is included in trip price.
