Desert & Sea Expeditions

Desert & Sea Expeditions we are a company specialized in adventure trips and excursions in Baja California Sur, trips where you can enjoy the beautiful beaches of the peninsula and at the same time get to know its mountains and desert landscapes.

Baja California offers us a contrast of ecosystems and biodiversity that is very rich and different from each other. On the one hand, we have its majestic mountain system of canyons and deserts, where flora and fauna live under the most extreme climatic conditions.

While on the other hand, the entire coast that bathes the Sea of Cortez and the Mexican Pacific offers a seascape dotted with a great variety of islands and rock formations that turn its beaches into an authentic aquarium because we can find ourselves in a short walk with dolphins, sea lions, blue and gray whales, among many others.

For this reason, at Desert & Sea Expeditions we organize hiking excursions, boat rides around the islands and whale watching excursions in the winter season.

One of our star excursions is the Route to the Cave Paintings near Mulege, in Baja California Sur, north of Loreto Bay. Within the Route, there are 2 excursion options through different caves between the mountain canyons.

For each of the tours, we are going to delve into the depths of the desert to find remains of what is the cultural legacy of an ancient culture of natives that inhabited the peninsula generations ago:

- Canipole or Pungüica Route: We are going to take an excursion where the walk is approximately 2 hours, 50 minutes one way and another 50 minutes back.

- San Borjitas: This cave is located in the Sierra de Guadalupe, a little further removed than Mulege. The paintings are on the ceiling of the cave and represent human figures dressed with swords and arrows.

Choose your route, at Desert & Sea Expeditions we guarantee an excellent quality service, accompanied by the best guides.

There is nothing more impressive than seeing a whale in its natural habitat. At Desert & Sea Expeditions we organize whale watching excursions between the months of January and March.

Within our service offering, at“Whale Watching” we have 2 different tours so you can choose the one that interests you most:

- Whales of the Sea of Cortez: This is an excursion of about 7 hours where we will explore the inland sea of the Baja California Peninsula. During this sighting tour what we will find most will be blue whales, which are found alone or in groups of a maximum of 7 specimens.

- Gray Whale: To be able to see these impressive animals we are going on an excursion to the Pacific, specifically we will leave from Puerto López Mateos until we reach an area of warmer waters. Here we will be lucky enough to see the whales and if they get very close to the boat we will even be able to touch them.
