Great Outdoor Adventures in Cabo San Lucas: Hiking and Cycling

By Paul Garnett | July 4, 2009

Hiking is probably one of the simplest things you can do in Cabo San Lucas. This excellent Mexican vacation destination has a wide stretch of sandy beaches and a desert where you can actually tour by foot – that is if you love hiking and enjoy the pleasures of the activity.

The wonderful rock formations in the place including the desert are just one of the amazing things you can experience when you go hiking in Cabo San Lucas. Hiking through the desert will also allow you to see the other side of Cabo aside from its splendid beaches and clear waters.

It would be helpful however to go hiking with a group. You can actually sign up for hiking tours, which will also provide your group with a tour guide. The guide could also give you information on the many places, animals and plant life in Cabo.

If you decide to go hiking, make sure you wear your boots to protect you from snakes and jackrabbits that you may encounter on your way.

The best hiking spots in Cabo San Lucas includes the La Laguna Mountains – a magnificent hiking spot that will give you the splendid view of the Pacific Ocean. The view of the mountains itself is a good view for hikers. Another favorite hiking spot in Cabo is the waterfalls in Santiago.

If you prefer to do cycling around Cabo, you can also sign up for cycling tours and adventures. There are mountain bikes offered for rent in an hour or a day, depending on how long the cycling adventure would take. You can take a long ride to the old lighthouse area or in the desert area, which are the most popular cycling sites in Cabo San Lucas.

Especially if you are not familiar with the place and its terrain, it is advisable to go with a group when you want to go cycling. Aside from that, the activity would be a lot more fun. It is also recommended to bring first aid kits, a map, your helmet and of course, enough water for the trip.

It is important to keep safety in mind when you do these outdoor adventures. Somehow, being safe is one way to enjoy a good adventure.
