As in many casual athletic activities, a positive attitude and good health are more important than being in top shape. If there is no one with whom you can share, or if you prefer single hotel accommodations, you are requested to pay the single supplement fee listed. We named our expedition after the Sierra Giganta Mountain Range plunging into the Sea of Cortez just south of our launch point, creating a stunningly beautiful backdrop for the entire trip. Sand beaches sculpted by the elements, and colored from a palette of reds, yellows and blues, make each campsite seem more idyllic than the last. Canyon hikes take us into the coastal mountains to explore the diversity of plant and animal life, while kayaking allows an intimate exploration of the many coves and islands.
Snorkeling is wonderful.
The clear waters of the Sea of Cortez teem with exotically colored fish and the area is visited frequently by large schools of dolphins. We often encounter some of the dozen species of whales that frequent the Sea of Cortez, and with a little luck, maybe a Fin or a Blue whale - the largest of all. When you book your flight from home to Los Angeles allow a few extra hours as a buffer for delays, before your connecting flight to Loreto, especially around holidays.
