*Santa Maria Oasis
The Oasis of the Mission of Santa Maria is well known, but few people have been there. Very few! Imagine Blue Palm Trees surrounded by two exuberant springs forming the Oasis of Santa Maria. The Jesuits, in 1767, chose this beautiful area to establish their last mission in Baja California. Without question, the best attraction of the area is "La Poza de la Escuadra", a huge natural pool surrounded by gigantic granite rocks. This tour is rated medium in physical difficulty and is geared for the self-sufficient day hikers and mountain bikers.
Price per person: $150 USD.

*Bahia De Los Angeles & San Borja Circuit
During this trip we will visit the beautiful beaches of Bahía de Los Angeles and the museum of the area. We will also visit an ongoing project for the protection of marine turtles. From there we will view the incredible Pinturas Rupestres of Montevideo and Las Tinajitas. Finally we will camp at Mission de San Borja (founded in 1759) which is situated in the middle of an oasis surrounded by a forest of giant Cardon cactus. An enjoyable trip for the whole family.
Price per person: $200 USD.
