Beware, you must be in good shape to do the hike.
Daniel picked us up at our resort and drove us out of town and into the mountains. He stopped on the side of the road and bought some local, fresh fruit from a cactus for us to try along the way. We turned off the highway and down a dusty, dirt road. Daniel continued to tell us about the region and the people who lived there. We stopped at a local farm and picked up Ricky, a local boy who was going to lead the hike. Ricky and Daniel made sure we had enough water before we set off. The air temp was around a dry 87 F. We proceeded down one side of a mountain and into a ravine, where there was beautiful, clear water. We took the drone out for a quick shot of the area before we continued up the other mountain. The terrain was sandy with large rock and boulders. There were a lot of cacti and natural trees to look at. Keep in mind you are in a desert and everything is parched. A few cows crossed our path. About 1.5 hours into the hike we came across a very large boulder and were told we wold be climbing up and through the rock to get on top where the cave paintings are. We sat on top of the boulder for about 30 minutes while we re-hydrated, had a quick snack and flew the drone. Back down the mountain and through the ravine, careful not to grab onto anything to balance, cause its probably a cactus (OUCH).
We dropped Ricky back off at his farm and Daniel drove us to the next stop at the waterfall and springs. The hot spring was HOT, a dip of the toes and we decided its too hot to get in. We went up a bit to the cooler spring and swam around. Daniel continued up the spring to a small waterfall, a little further up and a bigger waterfall. we sat in the water and enjoyed the area for a bit before we ha to head back to the car. Daniel drove us back to our hotel, along the way we stopped at the Tropic of Cancer line.
Be prepared for a long drive, intense hiking and beautiful views of the Baja.
