You may find walking along the shores of Cabo a relaxing experience, but hiking in the desert can also be exciting.

To enjoy hiking in the desert, it is best to do the activity during the cold seasons. Although, hiking during summer can also be done usually in the mornings to avoid uncomfortable temperatures. There are experienced hikers that trek the deserts so you may want to join the group for a more fun adventure. You can also choose to have tour guides or join a guided hiking trip from the many companies that offer the service.

Hiking in the desert will make you see and enjoy the rock formations and the many plant life in the deserts of Cabo. You can also take a view of the wildlife in the place. If you plan to do hiking, you may want to put on your leather boots and long pants when exploring the mountains as jack rabbits and snakes may be found along the way.

The mountains of La Laguna and the fossil fields in the Cape region are also among the sites you should not miss visiting if you will do hiking in Cabo. You may choose to hike during the day or overnight and you can enjoy the many adventures they offer that suits tourists and guests of any age. In guided hiking tours, you will be given information also about the ecology and history of the place.

Another recommendable hiking spot is the waterfalls at Santiago. The falls, popularly known as cascadas, can be found at the southern part of Santiago. It will only take you an easy half an hour climb through boulders of rocks and you will be met with a refreshing pool of water that would be great for a good swim.

Mountain bikes can also be rented for a cycling adventure in the Cabo Real Ecological reserve. These bikes can be rented on an hourly basis. Cycling in the desert and towards the old lighthouse area is also a favorite among cycling enthusiasts.

If you go cycling, bringing a map and some first-aid supplies would be of great help. It is also advisable to ride along with others to enjoy the adventure more.

Above all, you should not forget to wear and bring your safety gears when riding around Cabo in your mountain bikes.
