Sierra de la Giganta Ride or Hike (and Extended)
This route stays in the mountain range that is west of Loreto. The route leaves from a canyon populated by a local
family whose ranches have road acces… but soon we hit the trail into a canyon that has place names like El Potrero,
Ultima Agua, and Las Golondrinas. The wide canyon has flowing water in places and offers great camping and swimming
for a mid-March trip.
The old trails leading to the Golondrina ridge were used in the past by a lone cowboy who would ride his mule over
the ridge and down to the highway north of Puerto Escondido. Then he would hitchhike into town to trade oranges for
supplies, get back to his mule and pack donkey and head home again up and over the steep trail, back to his
hermitage-paradise
Join us for either a 4-day trip or a 6-day trip. On the Extended version we will continue south into other canyons
and visit friends at remote ranches. Recommended that riders join the Extended trip. Contact us for more details.
Included: guides, group camp gear, tents, mules and pack-animals (if you hike you just need to carry your day pack,
donkeys do the rest) Dinners and breakfasts on the trail (BYOLunch). Let us know if you need to rent a sleeping bag
or pad. Not included: Transportation to/from the trailhead; tips for guides.
Buen Viaje and we'll hope to see you
again in Baja!
