The Giant Cactus Valley
Take a 20-minute drive south of San Felipe and discover Valle de Los Gigantes (The Giant Cactus Valley). Here you will find more than 1,200 large cactuses, including the Mexican Giant Cardon — the tallest growing cactus in the world. This type of cactus is usually only found in this region and can grow to heights of over 60 feet, while some can weigh up to 25 tons — providing a spectacular sight to behold.
San Felipe Lighthouse
To get the best view of this historic tower, walk up to the foothill of “Cerrito de la Virgen” where you can capture great panoramas of the giant beacon. From this vantage point you will also be treated to stunning views of the sea, surrounding mountains, and San Felipe’s waterfront boardwalk.
Konsag Island
Take a 45-minute boat ride from town to Konsag Island — one of the best kept secrets in San Felipe. As you approach the island, you are confronted by magical rock formations rising from the water, creating an impressive presence in the middle of the sea. Konsag is also a great place to watch sea lions, seals, and colonies of sea birds.
